3. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings before operating the device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the equipment or vehicle.

• Power Socket Requirement: Always use a power socket rated for over 10A.
• Connection Verification: Before turning on the power, confirm that all connections are secure and correct.
• Operation State: Do not operate or adjust the charger when the power is ON, unless specifically instructed.
• Engine Start Prohibition: It is strictly prohibited to start the vehicle engine while the device is connected and charging.

4. Setup and Connections

Follow these steps to properly set up and connect the voltage regulator stabilizer:

1. Connect Power Input: Connect the device's power input line to a suitable 220V AC power outlet (European plug variant).
2. Connect Battery Charging Wires: Connect the red positive (+) charging wire to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery and the black negative (-) charging wire to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery.
3. Secure Connections: After connecting the charging wires, ensure they are screwed tight and secure to prevent loose connections.
4. Final Check: Before proceeding, double-check all connections to ensure they are correct and firmly attached.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the device is properly connected, follow these steps for operation:

1. Power On: Open the power switch. LED1 will illuminate, and the display window will show the normal charging voltage and current. LED2 will also light up.
2. Battery Condition Check: The device will indicate "Battery bad" if an over-discharged battery (voltage below 8V) is connected. Do not attempt to charge such batteries.
3. Charging Completion: When the battery is fully charged, the charger will automatically cut off the input power and display "charge end".

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their resolutions:

• Overcurrent/Overvoltage: If the charging current exceeds 100A or the output voltage exceeds 15V, the charger will cut off the output, LED3 will light, and the display will show "large charging" or "high voltage". Check the battery condition and vehicle electrical system for faults.
• Over-temperature: If the charger's internal temperature exceeds 60°C, LED4 (Yellow light) will illuminate, and the cooling fan will activate. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Input Circuit Breaker Trip: In case of input overcurrent, overvoltage, or high temperature, the internal breaker will automatically pop up. Press the breaker back in and thoroughly check the input circuit for any problems before resuming operation.
• "Battery bad" Indication: If the display shows "Battery bad" (Image 6.1), the connected battery voltage is below 8V, indicating a severely discharged or faulty battery. This device is not designed to recover such batteries.
