General information
Principle The main feature of the new Active Inverter Technology is
intelligent charging. This means that the charging behaviour adapts itself
automatically to the age and state of charge of the battery. This innovation
extends the battery life and reduces the amount of maintenance required, while
at the same time improving cost-effectiveness.
Active Inverter Technology is based on an inverter with active rectification
and an intelligent safety cut-out. The charging current and voltage are held
constant by a digital control that is not affected by any fluctuations in the
mains voltage.
Device concept
The compact design reduces space requirements and makes portable use
considerably easier. Add to this the fact that the active inverters can be
used “onboard”. In addition to its many existing features, the charger has a
modular design that makes it easy to upgrade; it is therefore ideally equipped
for future requirements. A wide range of options is available.
Warning notices on the device
A number of safety symbols can be seen on the charger’s rating plate. The
safety symbols must not be removed or painted over.
| Do not use the functions until you have read all the operating instructions.
