5. Uppsetning og tenging
Follow these steps to safely connect your CTEK CT5 Time to Go charger to a battery:
- Undirbúðu rafhlöðuna: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion. If the battery is in a vehicle, ensure the ignition is off and all electrical consumers are switched off.
- Tengjast við rafhlöðu:
- Tengdu rauða (jákvæða, +) tengiðamp or ring terminal to the battery's positive terminal.
- Tengdu svarta (neikvæða, -) tengiðamp or ring terminal to the battery's negative terminal. If connecting to a vehicle battery, connect the negative clamp to the vehicle chassis away from the battery and fuel line, if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Tengdu við rafmagnsinnstungu: Plug the charger's AC power cord into a wall socket. The charger will perform a self-test.
- Select Charging Program: Press the 'MODE' button on the charger to select the appropriate charging program for your battery type (e.g., NORMAL, AGM, RECOND).

6. Notkunarleiðbeiningar
Once connected and the program is selected, the CT5 Time to Go operates automatically through its 8-step charging cycle.
Charging Programs:
- NORMAL: For most lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, EFB, GEL).
- Aðalfundur: For AGM batteries, which require a slightly higher charging voltage.
- UPPTAKA: For reconditioning deeply discharged and stratified batteries. Use this mode sparingly and only when necessary.
Skilningur á skjánum:
- Tími til að fara: The LED indicators show the estimated time until the battery is fully charged (e.g., 8, 4, 2, 1 hours).
- Start Indicator: An LED will illuminate when the battery has sufficient charge to start a vehicle, even if not fully charged.
- Umhirða: Indicates the charger is in maintenance mode, keeping the battery at optimal charge.
