3.1. Charger Components
Figura 1: Fronte view of the Deca 300300 Matic 116 Battery Charger. This image shows the black, rectangular electronic battery charger with an integrated handle on top. The front panel features a prominent yellow and red label displaying 'MATIC 116', 'ELECTRONIC BATTERY CHARGER', '12V', 'min 5Ah', 'MAX 90Ah', and the 'deca' logo. To the left of the label are three LED indicators: a red LED (top) for error/reverse polarity, a yellow LED (middle) indicating charging ('CHARGE'), and a green LED (bottom) indicating charge complete ('OK'). Icons representing car and van batteries are also visible on the label.
The front panel includes indicator lights to show the charging status:
- LED rossu: Indicates an error, such as reverse polarity connection or a faulty battery.
- LED giallu (CARICA): Illuminates when the battery is actively charging.
- Green LED (OK): Illuminates when the battery is fully charged and the charging process has terminated.
4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Deca 300300 Matic 116 charger:
- Preparazione: Ensure the battery is clean and free of corrosion on its terminals. If charging a wet lead-acid battery, check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if necessary, following the battery manufacturer's instructions.
- Ventilazione: Place the battery and charger in a well-ventilated area.
- Cunnette vi Clamps:
- Cunnette u rossu (+) clamp à u terminale pusitivu (+) di a bateria.
- Cunnette u neru (-) clamp à u terminal negativu (-). di a bateria.
Impurtante: Ensure correct polarity. Reverse polarity will trigger the red error LED.
- Cunnette à u putere: Plug the charger's power cord (CEE 7/16 Europlug) into a standard 230V AC, 50/60 Hz grounded electrical outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the charger is set up and connected, it will automatically begin the charging process:
- Iniziate a carica: After connecting to the battery and power, the charger will automatically detect the battery and start charging. The yellow 'CHARGE' LED will illuminate.
- Monitor Carica: Allow the charger to operate until the green 'OK' LED illuminates. This indicates that the battery is fully charged and the charger has automatically terminated the charging process.
- Charge Termination: The electronic control system ensures that the battery is not overcharged. Once the 'OK' LED is lit, the charger maintains the battery at an optimal level.
- Disconnecting:
- First, unplug the charger from the AC power outlet.
- Next, disconnect the black (-) clamp from the battery's negative terminal.
- Finally, disconnect the red (+) clamp from the battery's positive terminal.
