4. Configuració i connexió

Follow these steps to properly set up and connect the KONNWEI RC-10 to your battery:

1. Prepareu la bateria: Assegureu-vos que els terminals de la bateria estiguin nets i sense corrosió. Si cal, netegeu-los amb un raspall de filferro.
2. Connecteu el Cl vermellamp: Connecteu el positiu vermell (+) clamp del carregador al terminal positiu (+) de la bateria.
3. Connecteu el Black Clamp: Connecteu el negatiu negre (-) clamp del carregador al terminal negatiu (-) de la bateria.
4. Connecteu-vos a l'alimentació: Plug the charger's AC power cord into a standard 110-220V electrical outlet.
5. Detecció automàtica: The RC-10 will automatically detect the battery type (12V or 24V) and display the current battery voltage and charging status on its screen.

Important: Connecteu sempre el clavillet de la bateriaamps before plugging the charger into the AC power outlet. Disconnect in reverse order: unplug AC power first, then remove the black clamp, and finally the red clamp.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Selecció de mode

The RC-10 features a one-key switch for selecting different charging modes. Press the "Mode" button to cycle through the available options:

• ESTÀNDARD (ESTÀNDARD): Mode de càrrega estàndard, adequat per a bateries de plom-àcid generals.
• AGM/GEL: Optimized for AGM, GEL, SLA, WET, DEEP CYCLE, EFB, Calcium, and similar lead-acid batteries.
• LiFePO4 (LF): Specifically for charging 14.8V LiFePO4 Lithium batteries or motorcycle Lithium batteries.
• MOTO: Apte per carregar bateries de motocicleta de 6V.
• Reparació: This mode is for battery maintenance or to rejuvenate aged batteries. It uses pulse technology to address sulfation and acid stratification. Not all batteries can be repaired.

5.2. 7-Stage Procés de càrrega

L'RC-10 utilitza un sofisticat 7-stage charging algorithm to ensure optimal battery health and charge efficiency:

1. Desulfació: Breaks down battery sulfation to restore capacity. This stage uses high-frequency pulse charges.
2. Inici suau: A gentle power-up to protect sensitive or deeply discharged batteries.
3. Càrrega massiva: Rapid charging to reach approximately 80% of the battery's capacity. The charger delivers maximum current during this stage.
4. Absorció: Equilibra el voltage for a full charge, gradually reducing current as the battery approaches full capacity.
5. Prova de la bateria: Automatically evaluates the battery's health status to determine if further reconditioning is needed.
6. Recondicionament: If the battery test indicates, this stage applies pulse repair to revive aged cells and improve performance.
7. Flotació i manteniment: Long-term trickle charge to prevent self-discharge and maintain the battery at 100% charge without overcharging.

Figura 5.2: Illustration of the 7-stage charging process and trickle charging support.

5.3. Pulse Repair Function

The dedicated "Repair" mode and the "Recondition" stage within the 7-stage process utilize advanced pulse technology to address common battery issues:

• Sulfation Removal: Detects and breaks down lead sulfate crystals that accumulate on battery plates, which is a primary cause of capacity loss.
• Acid Stratification Correction: Helps to mix the electrolyte, preventing acid from concentrating at the bottom of the battery.

This process can restore lost capacity and significantly extend the lifespan of aging batteries. Note that severely damaged or short-circuited batteries may not be repairable.

5.4. Compensació de temperatura

The RC-10 automatically adjusts its charging parameters based on ambient temperature to optimize charging efficiency and prevent over/undercharging:

• Mode d'hivern: Activates automatically when the temperature is below 10°C (50°F), providing a higher charging voltage to compensate for increased battery resistance in cold conditions.
• Mode d'estiu: Activates automatically when the temperature is above 28°C (82.4°F), reducing charging voltage to prevent overcharging in warmer conditions.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance of your KONNWEI RC-10 charger and the batteries it services will ensure longevity and optimal performance:

• Charger Cleaning: Mantingueu el carregador net i sec. Netegeu la superfícieasing amb un suau, damp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics aggressivs ni netejadors abrasius.
• Inspecció del cable: Inspeccioneu regularment els cables de càrrega i el clampsi hi ha signes de danys, desfiladura o corrosió. Substituïu-los si cal.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu el carregador en un lloc fresc i sec quan no l'utilitzeu, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
• Manteniment de la bateria: For batteries left connected for extended periods, the RC-10's float and maintenance mode will prevent overcharging and self-discharge. However, it is good practice to periodically check battery fluid levels for non-sealed lead-acid batteries.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your KONNWEI RC-10, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• El carregador no s'encén:
  • Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into a live outlet.
  • Comproveu si la presa de corrent funciona connectant un altre dispositiu.
• La bateria no es carrega:
  • Verify that the positive (+) and negative (-) clamps are correctly and securely connected to the battery terminals.
  • Assegureu-vos que la bateria voltage is within the charger's operating range (12V or 24V).
  • The battery might be severely discharged or damaged beyond repair. Try the "Repair" mode, but note that not all batteries can be revived.
• Error Message on Screen:
  • If an error code or warning symbol appears, refer to the specific symbol's meaning (if provided on the device or in a more detailed manual). Common errors relate to reverse polarity, short circuits, or internal faults.
  • Disconnect the charger from both AC power and the battery, wait a few minutes, and then reconnect.
• Sobreescalfament del carregador:
  • Ensure the charger is in a well-ventilated area and its cooling fan is not obstructed.
  • If overheating persists, disconnect immediately and contact customer support.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact KONNWEI customer support for further assistance.
