Instruções de operação
The OptiMate 4 Quad Program offers four distinct charging programs. The charger automatically detects the battery voltage and type (Lead-Acid or LiFePO4) and initiates the appropriate program. You can manually select programs for CAN-bus or direct charging.
Seleção de programas:
- Program 1 (Default): For 12V Lead-Acid batteries connected directly to the battery terminals.
- Programa 2: For 12V Lead-Acid batteries connected via a compatible BMW CAN-bus controlled 12V socket.
- Programa 3: For 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries connected directly to the battery terminals.
- Programa 4: For 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries connected via a compatible BMW CAN-bus controlled 12V socket or Triumph 12V live (hot) socket.
To switch programs, refer to the charger's interface or specific instructions on the device itself (often involves pressing a button or sequence). The charger will indicate the active program via LEDs.
