Battery
Size (Ah)
Explanation Temp range
20–300Ah
Normal battery program
14.4V/10A. Use for WET batteries,
Ca/Ca, MF and for most GEL batteries
-20°C–+50°C
(-4ºF–122ºF)
AGM 20–300Ah
AGM battery program 14.7V/10A
Use for AGM batteries.
-20°C–+50°C
(-4ºF–122ºF)
RECOND 20–300Ah
Recond program 15.8V/1.5A
Use to return energy to the empty
WET and Ca/Ca batteries. Recond
your battery once per year and after
deep dischare to maximise lifetime
and capacity. The Recond program
adds STEP 6 to the normal battery
program. Frequent use of the Recond
program may cause water loss in the
batteries and reduce service life of
electronics. Contact your vehicle and
battery supplier for advice.
-20°C–+50°C
(-4ºF–122ºF)
20–300Ah
Supply program 13.6V/10A
Use as 12V power supply or use for
float maintenance charging when 100%
capacity of the battery is required.
Supply program activates step 7 without
time or voltage limitation.
-20°C–+50°C
(-4ºF–122ºF)
ERROR LAMP
If the error lamp is lit, check the following:
1. Is the chargers positive lead connected to the batterys
positive pole?
2. Is the charger connected to a 12V battery?
3. Has charging been interrupted in STEP 1, 2 or 5?
Restart the charger by pressing the MODE-button. If charging is still
being interrupted, the battery...
STEP 1: ...is seriosly sulphated and may need to be replaced.
STEP 2: ...can not accept charge and may need to be replaced.
STEP 5: ...can not keep charge and may need to be replaced.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The MXS 10 is equipped with an external temperature sensor. The tempera-
ture sensor is attachable. If so, the charger will compensate voltage accor-
ding to ambient temperature. Activated temperature sensor will be indicated
by a lit temperature sensor indicator lamp.
WARNING!
The spark protection on the battery charger
is disabled during SUPPLY program.
POWER LAMP
If the power lamp is lit with a:
1. STEAdY LIGHT
The mains cable is connected to the wall socket.
2. FLASHING LIGHT:
The charger has entered the energy save mode. This happens if the
charger isn´t connected to the battery in 2 minutes.
