PulseTech QUADLINK XC-QL4 Instruction Manual

1. Produktet er slutview

The PulseTech QUADLINK XC-QL4 is a versatile 4-in-1 charger multiplier designed to expand the capabilities of your existing 6V or 12V battery charger. It allows you to simultaneously maintain up to four batteries, transforming a single charger into a multi-station maintenance system. This device is ideal for maintaining large multiple battery packs, including 12-volt, 24-volt, 36-volt, and 48-volt configurations, during extended periods of non-use.

The QUADLINK utilizes PulseTech's patented Pulse Technology, which works to remove and prevent the buildup of lead-sulfate deposits on battery plates. This process helps to restore battery health, ensure stronger engine starts, and can extend battery life by up to three times. The unit features LED indicators that provide clear feedback on battery connection and charging status for each channel.

6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your PulseTech QUADLINK XC-QL4, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No LED Lights / Unit Not Functioning:
  • Bekræft strømkilden: The QUADLINK is a multiplier and requires an external 6V or 12V battery charger to operate. Ensure your primary charger is plugged in and functioning correctly. The QUADLINK does not have its own power supply.
  • Tjek forbindelser: Ensure all SAE connections are secure and properly seated. Verify that the input cable from your charger is firmly connected to the QUADLINK, and the output cables are firmly connected to the batteries.
  • Batteripolaritet: Confirm that the eyelet lug adapters are connected with correct polarity to the battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative).
• One or More Channels Not Indicating Charge:
  • Check Individual Battery Connection: Ensure the specific battery's connection to the QUADLINK channel is secure and has correct polarity.
  • Efterse kabler: Check the individual extension lead and eyelet lug adapter for any visible damage or breaks.
  • Batteritilstand: The battery connected to the non-functioning channel might be severely discharged or faulty. Attempt to charge the battery directly with your primary charger to confirm its condition.
• Unit Stopped Working After Some Time:
  • Review Primary Charger: Ensure your primary battery charger is still operational. If the primary charger fails, the QUADLINK will cease to function.
  • Miljøfaktorer: Ensure the unit has not been exposed to extreme conditions (e.g., excessive heat, water immersion) that could cause damage.
  • Kontakt support: If the issue persists after checking the above, contact PulseTech customer support for further assistance.
