Users Manual
Normal Charging:
1. Connect the battery.
(The Light emitting diode (LED), labelled calculating process will glow immediately on connecting the battery.)
2. Switch the charger on.
(N.B. The charger can only be turned on when the battery is connected.)
3. The initial charging rate will depend on the battery's state of discharge. The calculating process LED will start flashing when the battery is approximately half charged, indicating that the solid state sensing and charge terminating equipment is now calculating the battery's state of charge.
4. When the charge is completed, the charger switches off and the calculating process LED flashes very briefly every second. (N.B. The chargers solid state control equipment contains a memory so that after the charge cycle is completed, the charger may not be turned on again until after the battery has been disconnected and reconnected.
5. Before unplugging the battery from the charger, switch the charger OFF.
Equalising Charge
This charger is fitted with an Automatic Equalise facility. Each weekend approximately 28 hours after the start of the last charge, the charger will turn on for a 2 hour equalize charge, then shut down again.
Over-ride alarm
This facility consists of an electronic timer which will terminate the charge after approximately 14 hours, should an abnormal situation prevent the charge terminating normally.
The alarm indicator should never glow. If it does glow after a charge, have the charger and battery checked for malfunction.
Warranty
Stanbury Battery Chargers are unconditionally guaranteed against defect in workmanship or materials for a period of 1 year from date of purchase.
Qualifications
1. Warranty claims will be accepted only from ouraccredited service agents, or a qualified person we may authorize for a particular out of town job.
2. Warranty claims must quote charger model, serial number and owner.
3. Any work on a Stanbury charger by an unauthorizedperson renders the warranty null and void.
4. All express or implied warranties or statutory conditions are expressly excluded, together with all liability on our part for any loss or damage arising from a defective charger, whether sustained by the owner, user, or by any third party.
5. Our liability is limited to either the repair or replacement of the charger as we, as manufacturers, may choose.
6. These Terms and Conditions shall not be taken as applying to exclude, restrict or modify in any manner whatsoever the rights conferred on consumers and others by those Commonwealth, State and Territorial laws that cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted or modified.
Comments
7. The guarantee is against defect in workmanship or
materials. Unfortunately there are many factors external to
the charger which influence the charging cycle and the
charger is wrongly blamed.
Some common examples of correctly operating chargers
being considered faulty are:
Electrolyte Bubbling Over
It is often thought that if a battery boils over it is being overcharged. If the
charger is the correct size for the battery, the battery will only boil over if
overfilled.
Clearly this is not a defect in workmanship or materials in the charger
therefore it could not justify a warranty claim.
Blown Fuse.
Fuses are fitted for two purposes:
(a) One purpose is to disconnect the charger from power sources in the event of a
vital component failure. A fuse blown under these circumstances would justify a
warranty claim.
(b) The other purpose is to disconnect and so protect the charger from damage by
dangerously incorrect power sources e.g. a mains power surge or a reversed
battery.
Under these circumstances where a fuse blows but there is no fault within
the charger, a warranty claim could not be justified.
Over-ride Alarm On
The over-ride operates approximately 16 hours after the battery is plugged in, if
the charger has not by then completed its cycle and shut down. The purpose is to
discontinue the charge in the event of a component failure preventing the charge
from terminating at the correct time.
There are several external conditions which can extend the charge time to 16
hours, thereby activating the over-ride alarm.
(a)A serious over-discharged battery does not respond in a normal way to the
charging current, therefore the charging time can extend significantly beyond
the normal.
(b)Mains Power can be disconnected from the charger during the charge
cycle (e.g. cleaners or night shift unplugging the charger to use the power point) so
that the charging time is extended significantly.
(c)The battery is too large for the charger therefore it is taking too long to charge.
Under these circumstances the over-riding alarm operating is not the result of
faulty workmanship or materials, therefore a warranty claim could not be
justified.
