2 Safety instructions The warning triangle identifies all instructions important for ensuring safe use. Always follow these Instructions as failure to do so may result in injuries or may damage the charger. The information symbol highlights useful information 2.1 Correct use • This charger is only intended for use with lead-acid batteries (vehicle batteries) with 6V and 12V rated voltage (see details in Technical Specification).
2.3 Special safety instructions • Store the charger and accessories out of children´s reach. • Only connect the charger to an easily accessible 240 V socket so that you can take quick action in the case of a fault. • Do not cover the charger as it could overheat and thus be damaged. • Where the battery is installed in a vehicle, ensure that the vehicle is switched off and is secured in a stationary position. Switch off the ignition and make sure the vehicle is parked – applied handbrake (e.g.
2.5 Use of rechargeable batteries • Do not use the charger for charging or discharging batteries that are not rechargeable. • Do not attempt to recharge any battery that could be frozen. Do not use any damaged or corroded rechargeable batteries. • Never take apart, open or crush rechargeable cells or batteries. • Never expose cells or batteries to high temperature or fire. Avoid direct sunlight. • Never short-circuit cells or batteries.
3 Operation 3.1 Operation The car battery charger CPL-2054 automatically recognises the connected type of battery (6 V-or 12 V battery). If the battery terminals are connected incorrectly (polarity reversal), the red fault light will light up immediately . In the event of overheating or a short-circuit during operation, the red fault light also lights up. The charger reverts to standby mode. Charging only commences once a program has been selected with the MODE key.
Charging battery outside of vehicle First connect the red battery terminal of the battery cable to the positive terminal of the battery (marked +). Then connect the black battery terminal of the charging cable to the negative terminal of the battery (marked -). Note If the polarity of the terminals is reversed (mixed up positive and negative terminal) the red fault light on the charger lights up immediately. Caution Never connect the charger to the mains if the red fault light is on.
3.3 Starting the charging process After connecting the charger to the mains, the standby symbol, an empty battery symbol and the currently measured battery voltage appear on the display. Use the MODE (7) key to select the suitable charging program for the battery and start the charging process. Note The charger automatically detects the type of battery connected (6 V or 12 V battery). There is only one charging program for 6 V batteries.
12V battery If a battery voltage of between 7.3 V and 10.5 V is measured, this indicates a critical range as at the lower voltage end. It is not clear whether it is a fully charged 6 V battery (which could have a voltage of 7.3 V) or a deep-discharged 12 V battery. If you attempt to start charging by pressing the MODE key (7), the charger first pauses for 1.5 minutes, after which another control measurement is taken.
3.4 Charging process Note Depending on the charging condition of the battery, the charger adapts the charging currents to ensure optimum charging of the battery. During the main charging phase, the battery is charged with the maximum charging current. Shortly before the maximum charging capacity has been reached the charging current is reduced. This ensures gentle and optimum charging up to the battery’s maximum capacity. 6V charging program Special program for 6 V batteries of 1.2 to 14 Ah.
Charging program Particularly suited for 12 V batteries with 1.2 to 14 Ah. Gentle charging due to low charging current (14.4 V/0.8 A). If the program was selected and started with the MODE key (7), the program symbol appears on the display. The voltage display shows the current voltage of the battery. The battery symbol on the display shows the charging condition of the battery. The filled bars show the existing capacity, whilst the empty bars show the missing charge.
Charging program Special charging program for vehicle batteries from 14 to 120 Ah at lower temperatures of below 0°C. Efficient charging due to higher charging voltage and higher charging current (14,7 V / 3,8 A). Once the program has been selected and started using the MODE key (7), the program symbol appears on the display. The voltage display shows the current voltage of the battery. The battery symbol on the display shows the charging condition of the battery.
3.6 Special functions of charger Reactivation of deep-discharged 12 V batteries using pulse charging Pulse charging allows gentle pre-charging of 12 V batteries to 10.5 V. The set charging program ( , or ) then continues charging until the battery is charged to capacity. (See also chapter “Starting the charging process”). During charging, the charger produces a reduced charging current changing between 0.07 and 0.8 A. This way, the battery is moved into a normal operating condition.
