to the battery, RECHECK to ensure the connections are
as above.
2. Start the generator and allow the generator to warm up.
3. Insert the plug on the
opposite end of the cable
connected to the battery
into the battery charging
socket (Fig. Q).
4. Check the DC reset button
is pressed inward.
The battery charging process
is now under way.
To disconnect the battery on charge, remove the plug from
the generator socket and disconnect the cable clamps from
the battery.
Note.
The battery charging socket can also be used with
the 240V AC outlets being used.
The battery charging socket can also be used when the
appliance socket is being used, but the maximum output
from the generator is only 5A thus the charging performance
may be reduced, depending on the load for the appliance
outlet.
The battery will charge at a rate of 5 amps until the charge
voltage is around 13.6 volts where the charge current will
start and reduce.
The battery will not over charge and can be left connected
for extended periods of time.
Remember, if the battery was originally in a low level of
charge, the battery will take many hours to recharge fully.
The time frame will depend on the size of the battery.
As a guide, a standard car battery of around 480CCA will
take approx. 6 hours to charge from a low level of charge to
approx. 80% charged. To start a car the battery may require
less than this time frame and again it depends on the
original state of charge.
To use the USB power outlet
These range of generators are fitted with a 5 Volt USB
power outlet.
The maximum output is 1 amp.
This is suitable for charging mobile phones, small battery
chargers, I Pods etc.
1. Ensure the appliance to be connected to the USB socket
is turned off.
2. Check the rating of the appliance is not above 1A or 5W.
3. Start the generator and allow the generator to warm up.
4. Insert the USB plug into
the socket on the generator
panel (Fig. R).
5. Turn on the appliance.
Note.
The USB outlet
operates through the DC reset
button. If the appliance is not
operating, check the DC reset
button is pressed inward.
The USB outlet can be used while the 240V AC outlets are
being used.
The USB outlet can also be used while the 12V outlets are
being used, PROVIDED the total current on the DC does
not exceed 5A.
