Standby / Measuring battery voltage

After connecting the mains supply, the device is in standby mode. The standby display 3 lights up green. When the connection terminals are connected, the battery voltage is displayed in the LC display (voltage display 10 ). The segments of the status display 9 are empty. If the measured voltage is below 3.8 V or above 15 V, then this means the battery is not charging. The error message „Err“ will be shown briefly in the display. The device switches to standby

6 V batteries
If a battery is measured in the voltage range 3.7 – 7.3 V, then you can only select Program 1.

12 V batteries
If a battery is identified as being in the critical voltage range from 7.3 – 10.5 V, then the device will check whether it is a fully-charged 6 V battery or a discharged 12 V battery. Press the program selector button 11 to select a program. The device carries out a test measurement procedure for approx. 90 seconds. The display will show:

Revival
If after approx. 90 seconds, the identified value is between 7.5 – 10.5 V, then a 12 V battery is present. The charging process starts with pulse operation for revival of the battery. The voltage display 10 flashes. Once 10.5 V is reached, the device switches to further charging levels. The revival procedure is identical for all 12 V charging programs.

Selecting programs

Note :
If a battery is identified in the voltage range of 3.7 – 7.3 V, then programs 2-3-4 cannot be selected. The charging process continues automatically. Depending on the program selected, the charging characteristics for voltage, time and temperature are monitored. With diagnosis program, revival mode and trickle charging.

Program 1 , „6 V“, (7.3 V / 0.8 A)
To charge 6 V batteries with a capacity less than 14 Ah. Press the program selector button 11 to select Program 1. The symbol 7 is shown in the LC display. During the charging process, the charging display 8 flashes and shows how far the charging process has progressed (1 – 4 bars). When the battery is fully charged, the status display 9 shows 4 bars. The flashing stops and the device switches to trickle charging automatically.

Program 2 12 V“, (14.4 V / 0.8 A)
To charge 12 V batteries with a capacity less than 14 Ah. Press the program selector button 11 to select Program 2. The symbol 4 is shown in the LC display. During the charging process, the charging display 8 flashes and shows how far the charging process has progressed (1 – 4 bars). When the battery is fully charged, the status display 9 shows 4 bars. The flashing stops and the device switches to trickle charging automatically.

Program 3 12 V“, (14.4 V / 5.0 A)
To charge 12 V batteries with a capacity of 14 Ah – 120 Ah. Press the program selector button 11 to select Program 3. The symbol 5 is shown in the LC display. During the charging process, the charging display 8 flashes and shows how far the charging process has progressed (1 – 4 bars). When the battery is fully charged, the status display 9 shows 4 bars. The flashing stops and the device switches to trickle charging automatically

Program 4 12 V“, (14.7 V / 5.0 A
To charge 12 V batteries with a capacity of 14 Ah – 120 Ah under cold conditions or to charge AGM batteries. Press the program selector button 11 to select Program 4.

Trickle charging

As described in „Selecting programs“, the device has an automatic trickle charging procedure. Depending on the drop in voltage in the battery – through self-discharge – the charger reacts with different levels of charging current. The battery can remain connected to the charger over a longer period of time.

Device protection function
As soon as a different situation occurs, such as a short circuit, critical drop in voltage during the charging process, open circuit or reversed connection of the output terminals, the battery charger 1 switches off automatically. The electronic system resets the system immediately to its home position, in order to avoid damage. If the device should become too hot during charging, the output power is automatically reduced. This protects the device from damage.

Maintenance and care

Always pull the mains cable 12 from the socket before you perform any work on the car and motorcycle battery charger 1 .
The device is maintenance-free. Deactivate the device. Clean the metal and plastic surfaces of the device with a dry cloth.
Never use any solvents or other aggressive cleaning agents.
