INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing your new CTEK professional switch mode battery charger. This charger is part of a range of profes- sional battery chargers from CTEK SWEDEN AB. It represents the latest technology in battery charging with charging and analysis in eight steps with temperature compensation. Read this User Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using your new charger. SAFETY • The charger is designed for lead-acid batteries. Do not use the charger for any other purpose • Use safety glasses and turn your head away when connecting or disconnecting a battery. • Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes into contact with skin or eyes. Seek medical advice. • Make sure that the cable is not pinched or in contact with warm surfaces or sharp edges. • While charging, a battery can emit explosive gases, so it is important to avoid sparks in the immediate area. • Always provide for proper ventilation during charging. • Avoid covering the charger. • Make sure that the electrical cable does not come into contact with water. • Never charge a frozen battery. • Never charge a damaged battery. • Do not place the charger on the battery while charging.
6. Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the charger’s AC cord. Always disconnect the AC cord before disconnecting the battery leads. When you stop charging a battery installed in a vehicle you should always disconnect the battery lead from the chassis before disconnecting the other battery lead. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MULTI XT 14000 AND XT 14000 Please note that the battery pack in the 4V system in most cases consists of more than one battery. They are linked up to the 4V system, but the individual batteries generally have a lower voltage. Therefore it is important for the charger to be connected correctly. BATTERY TYPES AND SETTINGS The XS 25000 and XT 14000 are programmed according to “PROGRAM DESCRIPTION” with fixed settings. MULTI XS 500 and MULTI XT 14000 can easily be set for different types of batteries or conditions. The following recommendations should, however, only be seen as guidelines. Please consult the battery manufacturer for further instructions. Settings are made by pressing the “MODE-button “ and stepping forward one press at a time until the required mode is reached, the button is then released. After about seconds the charger activates the selected mode. The selected mode is saved in a ...
Recond (Lamp 5) (only on MULTI XS 25000 and MULTI XT 14000) This mode is used to recover deeply discharged flooded batteries. Recondition of deep discharged batteries. The voltage increases with reduced current for a limited time period. The higher voltage starts some gassing and mixing of the acid, which is beneficial for both battery capacity and expected life. Note that the battery could emit explosive gas during Recond. Recond is performed between Analysis and Maintenance.
**) The quality of the charging voltage and charging current are very important. High current ripple heats the battery and ages the positive electrode. High voltage ripple can damage other equipment connected to batteries. The battery chargers from CTEK produces very high quality voltage and current with low ripple.
