6. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі
Once connected, the charger will automatically begin the charging process.
- Індыкацыя зарадкі: The green LED indicator will blink during the charging phase.
- Fully Charged Indication: When the battery is fully charged, the green LED will stop blinking and remain solid. The charger will then switch to maintenance mode to prevent overcharging.
- Індыкацыя памылкі: If the red "Reverse Connection" LED illuminates, immediately disconnect the charger from AC power and correct the battery connections.
- Рэжым абслугоўвання: The charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely in maintenance mode to keep it at optimal charge.
Disconnecting the Charger:
- Unplug the charger's AC power cord from the electrical outlet.
- Disconnect the BLACK negative (-) clamp/ring terminal from the battery.
- Disconnect the RED positive (+) clamp/ring terminal from the battery.
7. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне
- Уборка: Disconnect the charger from all power sources before cleaning. Wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Сыход за кабелем: Inspect cables and connectors regularly for damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- захоўванне: Захоўвайце зарадную прыладу ў прахалодным, сухім месцы, калі яна не выкарыстоўваецца. Трымайце кабелі акуратна згорнутымі.
8. Выпраўленне непаладак
| праблема | Магчымая прычына | Рашэнне |
|---|---|---|
| Зарадная прылада не ўключаецца. | Няма пераменнага току; няспраўная разетка. | Check AC power connection. Test outlet with another device. |
| Red "Reverse Connection" LED is on. | Няправільная палярнасць батарэі. | Disconnect AC power, then reconnect RED to positive (+) and BLACK to negative (-). |
| Green LED is blinking but battery is not charging. | Poor connection to battery; deeply discharged battery. | Пераканайцеся, што клamps/terminals are securely connected. For deeply discharged batteries, it may take longer to initiate charging or the battery may be beyond recovery. |
| Зарадная прылада награваецца падчас працы. | Нармальная праца. | Гэта нармальна. Забяспечце дастатковую вентыляцыю вакол зараднай прылады. |
