Page 3: Warning - Risk Of Explosive Gases
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT, YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. -
Page 4: Preparing To Charge
PREPARING TO CHARGE If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded not to cause an arc. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. - Page 5 Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part. persons. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If nega- tive post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles) see (e).

Page 6: Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION! The MULTI US 3300 cannot be used to restore a fully worn out battery. If the MULTI US 3300 does not switch to maintenance charge after three days (green light illuminated), there is a fault. Possible causes: •... - Page 7 Caution: If the MULTI US 3300 does not switch to maintenance charge mode after three days, manually switch it to pulse maintenance mode. If the set has been switched to maintenance charge, then everything is in order. Note: A battery that hasn’t changed to maintenance charge after three days is most likely worn out and needs to be replaced.
- Page 8 The length of the pulse depends on how much charge the battery has lost. The MULTI US 3300 may be connected for months at a time. However it is recommended to monitor batteries on charge.

Page 9: Charging Cycle
Consult your battery manufacturer when in doubt. CHARGING CYCLE MULTI US 3300 operates in a four step fully automatic cycle. It starts the charging with an almost constant current (0.8A or 3.3A) until maximum voltage (14.4V or 14.7V) is reached. At this point the charger switches to constant voltage, and the current supply to the battery is gradually reduced. -
Page 10: Bulk Charging Time
Desulphation: Desulphation with pulsing for sulphated batteries. Bulk: Charging where about 80% of the energy is returned. The charger delivers an almost constant current until the battery voltage reaches the set level. Absorption: Charging up to almost 100%. The charge current tapers and the voltage is kept constant at the set level. -
