Operation
Before use
♦ Before connecting the battery charger, read the
operating instructions of the battery thoroughly.
♦ In addition, observe the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions for a permanently connected battery.
Secure the vehicle; turn off the ignition.
♦ Clean the battery terminals. Ensure that your
eyes do not come in contact with the dirt in the
process.
♦ Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Connecting
NOTE
► There are two options for connecting the
charger. Connect the negative terminal
connecting cable (black) either directly to
the negative terminal of the battery or to the
chassis. Please also bear in mind the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
♦ Before starting the charging or trickle charging
procedure on a permanently installed battery in
a vehicle, first disconnect the negative terminal
connecting cable (black) of the vehicle from the
negative terminal of the battery. The negative
terminal of the battery is usually connected to
the vehicle's chassis.
♦ Then disconnect the positive terminal connecting
cable (red) of the vehicle from the positive termi-
nal of the battery.
♦ Clamp the positive terminal clamp (red)
of the
charger to the positive terminal on the battery.
♦ Clamp the negative terminal clamp (black)
of the charger to the negative terminal on the
battery.
♦ Connect the mains cable
of the battery
charger to the power socket.
♦ If the terminal clamps are connected incorrectly,
the LED display "ERROR"
will light up.
Disconnecting
♦ Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
♦ Remove the negative terminal clamp (black)
of the charger from the negative terminal on the
battery or from the chassis.
♦ Remove the positive terminal clamp (red)
of
the charger from the positive terminal on the
battery.
Select charging mode
You can choose between different charging modes
for charging various batteries at different ambient
temperatures. Unlike standard battery chargers,
this appliance has a special function for reusing an
empty rechargeable battery. You can recharge a
completely discharged battery. A protection func-
tion against incorrect connection and short circuit-
ing ensures safe charging. Due to the installed
electronics, the charger does not begin operation
directly after connecting the battery, but only starts
after a charging mode has been selected. This pre-
vents sparking, which often occurs when connect-
ing. In addition, the battery charger is controlled by
an internal MCU (microcomputer unit).
Reset/deleting settings
♦ After connection to the power supply, the appli-
ance automatically returns to its initial state and
remains in Standby mode
Switching between modes 1, 2, 3
and 4
Press the MODE selection button a corresponding
amount of times.
The appliance switches through the modes in the
following order: Standby ( ), Mode 1 ( ), Mode
2 (
), Mode 3 ( ), Mode 4 ( ) and then starts
the next cycle.
