Commissioning; Connection To A Voltage/Current Supply - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 100 DUO Notice D'emploi

9. Commissioning

a) Connection to a Voltage/Current Supply
Attention!
Always connect the charger to the voltage/current supply first; only then must a re-
chargeable battery be connected to the charger.
The charger offers two different options for operation.
• Operation via the mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz)
• Operation via stabilised direct voltage (11 - 18 V/DC, e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery
or a mains adapter)
Never use both operating modes at the same time. This may damage the charger.
Loss of guarantee/warranty!
If the charger is to be operated via the direct voltage input, the power supply must be chosen
accordingly strong, e.g. a suitable 12 V car lead battery.
If the charger is not to be operated on a 12 V car lead battery but via a fixed voltage
mains adapter, this must be able to supply a correspondingly high current (we recom-
mend a mains adapter with at least 14 A when fully using the maximum charging
capacity).
Since the charger has its own mains adapter integrated, however, operation via a
separate fixed voltage mains adapter makes no sense and should be avoided!
When using the direct current input, observe the correct polarity when connecting (plus/+ and
minus/-).
The charger will switch on automatically after connecting
to the voltage/current supply. The two displays of outputs
#1 and #2 light up; the start message appears (see figure
on the right) and the charger emits two brief signals.
The charger is now ready for operation.
