Operation - pro user DFC530 Manual

Temperature Compensation
A sensor will automatically adjust the charging voltage if the temperature deviates from –
20°C to +45°C. A high temperature environment will lower the voltage and freezing
condition is handled by higher voltage. A low temperature heightens the output voltage,
and hot condition is handled by lower voltage.
A temperature sensor has been built in the
housing of the cable connector to maximize the
accuracy of this feature. The temperature is
best measured on or very close to the
battery.
Voltage compensation
Because of some voltage drop in the cables, the actual voltage at the clamps of the
battery can be lower than the charger output voltage. A special circuitry inside the unit will
monitor the true input voltage to the battery and adjust the output voltage of the unit
accordingly. This will maximize the charging efficiency.
Reverse-polarity protection
This unit offers reverse-polarity protection, the RED "REVERSE" LED will illuminate and the
charging process will not start. If this happens, unplug immediately from mains, connect
the red crocodile clip to positive (+) battery post, and black crocodile clip to negative (-)
post, then plug into the mains power and the charging process will start.
Short-circuit protection
Should you accidentally touch the crocodile clips together whilst the mains power is on,
the unit will not perform charging. Unplug from mains, disconnect and start the process
again being careful not to touch the clips together.
Cable connector
The DFC530 has two options for
connecting the unit to the
battery. Via the intelligent cable
connector you can select witch connection you want to use:
•
Crocodile clamps for easy and flexible use.
•
O-ring connectors for permanent fixation on your battery.
Other features
Anti Spark Protection
Battery and Charger Overheating Protection
Waterproof ABS Housing. Ingress Protection Rating IP65

OPERATION

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 6 & 12V Normal Lead Acid, Sealed, Leisure or Gel Batteries between
5-120Ah.
1. Charging your battery
It is essential to disconnect the battery from the car. This will avoid possible damage to
the alternator. To avoid damage to the bodywork from possible spillage, remove the
battery completely from the vehicle. It is advisable to use gloves when handling the
battery, as there is a high possibility of corrosive acid being on the outside of the battery.
2. Preparing the battery
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in
each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
