4. AMMETER READING (FIG. A)
The ammeter allows reading the curr
to the battery (a completely at battery initially requires maximum current
which lowers over time). During the charging phase the ammet
moves from right to left, indicating a decrease in the curr
battery until very low levels (near to zero) are reached (fully char
at a speed and with an accuracy that depend on the capacity, battery state
and ammeter reading precision. Please remember tha
status of the battery can only be determined by using a densimeter which
allows measurement of the specic gra

the battery has nished charging. Once the battery is charged it must be
disconnected to prevent ov

5. 1 ASSEMBL
Unpack the battery charger and assemble the separate parts contained in
the package. Models on wheels are to be set in a vertical position.
5. 2 POSITIONING THE B
During operation, position the battery charger on a stable surface and
make sure that there is no obstruction to air passage through the openings
provided to ensure sucient v

Check that the mains voltage is the same as the voltage of the equipment.
- Check that the power supply is protected by systems such as fuses or
automatic switches, sucient to support the maximum absorption of the
equipment.
- The connection to the main supply has to be made using a suitable cable.
