SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A BATTERY

1. If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap

and water. If electrolyte enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with

running clean cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

2. Clean the battery terminals before they are connected to the charger. Be

careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes.

3. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Use in a well-

ventilated area.

4. Consider having someone close enough or within the range of your voice

to come to your aid when you work near a battery.

5. DO NOT smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in vicinity of a battery or

engine. Avoid explosive gas, flames and sparks.

6. Remove all rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while working with a

vehicle battery. These items may produce a short-circuit that could cause

severe burns.

7. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery.

It might spark or short-circuit a battery or other electrical hardware which

may cause an explosion or fire.

8. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or

not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of

charge.

9. When it is necessary to remove a battery from a vehicle to charge it,

always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all

accessories in the vehicle are off.

10. It is NOT intended to supply power to an extra-low-voltage electrical

system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may burst

and cause injury to persons and property.

11. NEVER charge a frozen, damaged, leaking or non-rechargeable battery.

WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION, HAND AND CLOTHING PROTECTION.

AVOID TOUCHING EYES WHILE WORKING WITH A BATTERY. SEE YOUR

LOCAL CLARKE DEALER FOR ALL YOUR PPE REQUIREMENTS.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR USING THE CHARGER

1. DO NOT place the charger in the engine compartment or near moving

parts or near the battery; place as far away from them as the clamp leads

allow

2. DO NOT cover the charger while charging.

3. DO NOT expose to rain or wet conditions.

4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may

result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

5. DO NOT overcharge batteries by selecting the wrong charge mode.

6. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and lead, pull by the plug

rather than the lead when disconnecting the charger.

7. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before

attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

8. Operate with caution if the charger has received a impact/blow or been

dropped. Have it checked and repaired if damaged.

9. Any repair must be carried out by the manufacturer or an authorized

CLARKE repair agent in order to avoid danger.

CHARGER LOCATION

1. Place the charger as far away from the battery as possible.

2. DO NOT position the charger above the battery during the charging

procedure. Gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

3. DO NOT let battery acid drip on the charger when reading a hydrometer

for specific gravity or when you fill the battery.

4. DO NOT use the charger in an enclosed space with reduced airflow.

WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE CHARGER WHEN CONNECTING OR

DISCONNECTING LEADS.

THE CHARGING PROCESS

STEP 1: DIAGNOSIS

Check if the battery has connected with the charger and also check the

battery voltage.

STEP 2: DESULPHATION

If battery voltage is too low, the program automatically generates a pulsing

current to remove sulphate.

STEP 3: ANALYSE

Check if the battery voltage reaches to the minimum threshold after

desulphation, and charging begins if the battery voltage is OK.

STEP 4: SOFT START

Charge with stepped constant current.

STEP 5: BULK

Charge with constant maximum current until the battery voltage has reached

the threshold.

STEP 6: ABSORPTION

Provide gradually declining current charge for maximum battery voltage.

STEP 7: ANALYSE

Test if the battery can hold charge

STEP 8: MAINTENANCE

Continuously monitor the battery, and charging current will intelligently adapt

to the variable battery voltage. (pulse form protection)

OVERVIEW

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY

1. Identify the polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is

typically marked by these letters or symbol (POS,P,+). The negative battery

terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-).

2. DO NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal

parts.

3. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be

done by identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the

chassis.

•FOR A NEGATIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE (MOST COMMON): connect the

RED POSITIVE clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect

the BLACK NEGATIVE clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle

chassis.

•FOR A POSITIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE (VERY UNCOMMON): connect the

BLACK NEGATIVE clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then

connect the RED POSITIVE clamp to the positive battery terminal or

vehicle chassis.

4. When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the

negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).

CHARGING MODES

CAUTION: A MARINE (BOAT) BATTERY MUST BE REMOVED AND

CHARGED ON SHORE. TO CHARGE IT ON BOARD REQUIRES EQUIPMENT

SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR MARINE USE.

OPERATION

1. Connect the battery as described on page 8.

2. Plug in the mains plug and switch it on.

3. The charger will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V or 24V).

4. After 10 seconds the charger will begin charging the battery using the

following mode 12V/5A or 24V/3.5A.

• The user can manually select charging voltage / current modes by

pressing the "VOLTAGE" or “CURRENT” button within the first 10 seconds

after switching on (a countdown is shown on the LCD).

NOTE: If you choose 24V Mode(s) for 12V battery, the 12V battery will be

damaged

• Once the battery type has been selected successfully and charging is

started, you must disconnect the AC plug and plug in again if you want

to change the battery type mode of the charger.

• During charging, the display will show voltage (12V or 24V) and

charging current alternately.

• When the "VOLTAGE" button is pressed, the display shows battery

voltage (e.g. 12.1 V) .

5. During charging, pressing the "CHARGE" button will cause the charger to

turn off.

• The charger will be restarted by pressing "CHARGE" button again.

6. Battery level is indicated by the "battery level icon". When the battery is

fully charged, the charger will automatically switch from full charge to

maintenance status without overcharging or damaging the battery.

ADVANCED CHARGING MODES

The following modes are advanced charging modes that require your full

attention before selecting.

USING 12V BOOST

1. Connect the charger to the battery as shown on page 7 and switch on at

the mains power supply.

2. Allow the charger to start charging after an initial 10 second wait.

3. Press the BOOST/QUICK CHARGE button to start the boost charge mode

• For optimum results, allow boost to complete its 5-minute charge cycle.

• After 5 minutes the display will show

“000”, and you are ready to start your

vehicle.

• After each boost, the charger has a

mandatory 5-minute rest for safety

reasons (even if you press the BOOST/

QUICK CHARGE button again, the

charger will not work).

• After cooling, the LCD shows “End”

4. Press any button to enter the normal

charging mode, or the charger will

automatically enter the normal

charging mode after 10 minutes.

5. If unsuccessful when starting your

vehicle, let the battery rest for 15

minutes and try boost again. Most

vehicles will start with one boost.

WARNING: DO NOT USE BOOST MORE THAN TWO TIMES IN A 24-HOUR

PERIOD. IF TWO BOOSTS CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY START YOUR VEHICLE,

HAVE YOUR BATTERY REPLACED OR EVALUATED BY A LOCAL BATTERY

STORE.
