4. Configuració

Before connecting the charger, ensure the area is well-ventilated and the battery terminals are clean.

1. Prepareu la bateria: If the battery is in a vehicle, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are turned off. For marine applications, ensure the vessel is securely moored.
2. Connecteu la bateria Clamps:
   • Connecteu el VERMELL (+) cl positiuamp al terminal positiu de la bateria.
   • Connecteu el NEGRE (-) cl negatiuamp al terminal negatiu de la bateria.
   • For vehicle batteries: If connecting to a vehicle, connect the black clamp to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line, if the battery is not grounded to the chassis. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific grounding instructions.
3. Connecteu-vos a la presa de corrent: Plug the charger's AC power cord into a standard 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz electrical outlet. The charger will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V o 24V).
4. Seleccioneu el mode de càrrega: After connecting to power, the charger will display the current battery status. Press the MODE button to cycle through the available charging modes (AGM, CAR, MOTO, LiFePO4, REPAIR). Select the appropriate mode for your battery type. Note: The mode button will be locked if not pressed before connecting to the battery.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Once connected and the mode is selected, the charger will begin its automatic 7-stagprocés de càrrega electrònica.

5.1 Charging Process (7 Stagés)

Figura 5.1: Visual representation of the 7-stage charging process, including desulfation, soft start, bulk charge, absorption, battery test, recondition, and float/maintenance stages. The charger automatically progresses through these stages.

1. Desulfation (DES): Uses high-frequency pulse to break down lead sulfate crystals.
2. Soft Start (SS): Gently introduces current to the battery.
3. Bulk Charge (CC): Charges the battery at maximum current until it reaches approximately 80% capacity.
4. Absorption (CV): Charges at a constant voltage, gradually reducing current as the battery approaches full charge.
5. Battery Test (TET): Tests the battery's ability to hold charge.
6. Recondition (REC): Applies a controlled overcharge to recondition deeply discharged batteries.
7. Float (FUL): Maintains the battery at full charge with a small, constant voltage.

5.2 Pantalla digital intel·ligent

The LCD screen provides real-time information about the charging process:

• Voltage (V): Mostra el volum actual de la bateriatage.
• Corrent (A): Shows the charging current.
• Temperatura (°C): Indicates the internal temperature of the charger.
• Estat de càrrega: Icons and text indicate the current charging stage (e.g., FUL for full, REC for recondition).
• Estat de la bateria: Indicador de nivell de bateria.
• Missatges d'error: Displays error codes or warnings if issues occur.

5.3 Desconnexió del carregador

Once charging is complete (indicated by "FUL" on the display), follow these steps to disconnect:

1. Desconnectar de l'alimentació: Unplug the charger's AC power cord from the electrical outlet first.
2. Desconnecteu la bateria Clamps:
   • Traieu el NEGRE (-) cl negatiuamp from the battery terminal (or vehicle chassis).
   • Traieu el VERMELL (+) cl positiuamp des del terminal de la bateria.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FOXSUR battery charger.

• Neteja:
  • Before cleaning, ensure the charger is unplugged from the power outlet and disconnected from the battery.
  • Netegeu l'exterior del carregador amb un drap suau i sec.amp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics aggressivs ni netejadors abrasius.
