Only connect the device to a power socket installed according to regulations. The voltage must correspond to the specification on the type plate of the device.
Do not trap the power cable and protect it from sharp edges, damp, heat or oil. The power cable of the unit cannot be replaced. In the event that the cable is damaged, the unit must be disposed of.
Do not operate the device or immediately pull the plug if it is damaged or you suspect it may be defective. In this case, contact our technicians.
Pull the plug when the device is not in use.
Keep packaging materials, especially plastic and plastic bags, away from children. Risk of suffocation.
Remove all plastic from the device before use.
Lay the mains cable in such a way that you are not hindered by it, and no one is able to accidentally pull it.
Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply after the charging process is complete.
Keep the charger in a place that cannot be accessed by children or unauthorised persons.
Do not operate the device close to combustible material or in an explosive environment.
Always wear suitable working clothes, protective gloves and goggles. Battery acid is corrosive! Immediately and thoroughly wash off any splashed acid and consult a doctor, if necessary. If battery acid gets into the eyes, immediately rinse under running water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor.
Do not cover the charger and keep the ventilation slots free, otherwise this may result in overheating and in damages. Never set the charger up for operation on a surface that is insulating (e.g. polystyrene). There is a risk of heat built up!
If you wish to charge a vehicle battery in the installed state, first park the vehicle safely, put on the parking break and switch off the ignition. Cut the battery off from the on-board network of your vehicle. To do this, read the manual of your vehicle or ask your specialist workshop.
When pulling the mains cable out of the socket, only hold the plug.
Never expose the charger to the vicinity of fire, heat and extensive temperatures over +40°C.
Store these instructions carefully and, if necessary, pass them on to other users.

6.2 CHARGING A BATTERY

6.2.1 PREPARATION

Clean the battery terminals to remove dust and corrosion residue.
Only for open batteries: Remove the plugs of the battery cells. Replenish distilled water up to the minimum fill level. Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process.
With maintenance-free batteries, follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer precisely.

6.2.2 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always first connect the red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus pole of the battery. Subsequently, connect the black minus cable (-) to the negative pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always maintain this sequence.
Now, connect the power plug of the charger to the mains socket.

CAUTION
When the red control lamp, ,inverse” (Position 3.5 in the overview) lights up, the charge cables have been connected incorrectly. Remove the pole callipers from the battery terminals and connect them correctly.

CAUTION
When the red control lamp ,,Error” (Position 3.4 in the overview) lights up, check whether the set charge program and the connected battery correspond. Check the battery for defects.

6.2.3 SETTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

First, in the function selection control panel (Position 4 in the overview) use the selection switch for the operating mode (Position 4.3 in the overview) to set the voltage for the battery, 6V or 12V. Then, using the switch for battery type (Position 4.2 in the overview), select the appropriate type for your battery. Using the selection switch for the charge current (Position 4.1 in the overview), set the appropriate charge current.

6.2.4 CHARGING PROCEDURE

Start the charging procedure by pressing the Start/Stop button (Position 6 in the overview). In the control field for the operating status (Position 3 in the overview), the control lamp ,,Charge” (Position 3.1 in the overview) lights up. If the control lamp,,Repair” (Position 3.3 in the overview) lights up, the charger carries out a program for desulphation. With the selection button for the display (Position 2.4 in the overview) you can set the display to charge voltage, charge current and charge progress. The control lamp ,,full” (Position 3.2 in the overview) shows that the battery is fully charged and that the battery charger has switched over to maintenance mode.

6.2.5 REMOVING THE CHARGER

Press the Start/Stop button to end the charging procedure.
CAUTION
First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake of your safety.
Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply. Then disconnect the black callipers (minus). Then remove the battery callipers from the plus pole of the battery (red callipers). Allow the battery to cool and fill the cells with distilled water to the filling level named by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells using the caps.

6.3 USING AS JUMP-START ASSISTANCE FOR 12 V VEHICLES

6.3.1 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always first connect the red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus pole of the battery. Then connect the black negative cable (-) to the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always maintain this sequence.
Now, connect the charger to the mains socket.

6.3.2 SETTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

First, in the function selection control panel (Position 4 in the overview) use the selection switch for the operating mode (Position 4.3 in the overview) to set the jump-start 100 A function.

6.3.3 JUMP-START PROCEDURE

Press the Start/Stop button. Start the motor. Do not operate the starter for longer than 6 seconds. If the start attempt is not successful, wait for at least three minutes before starting the next attempt. After the third failed attempt, do not attempt again. Instead, check your vehicle for faults.
When the engine is running, press the Start/Stop button and pull the plug of the charger from the mains socket. Then first remove the black callipers (-) and then the red callipers (+). Always maintain this sequence.

6.4 GENERATOR TEST

6.4.1 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always first connect the red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus pole of the battery. Then connect the black negative cable (-) to the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor, fuel lines and rotating parts of the engine. Always maintain this sequence.

6.4.2 EXECUTING THE GENERATOR TEST

The display (Position 1 in the overview) now shows the current voltage of the vehicle battery. Now press the ,,Test” button (Position 5.3 in the overview) and start the vehicle engine. If the control lamp ,,OK” (Position 5.2 in the overview) lights up, the generator of the vehicle is operating properly. If the control lamp ,,Error” (Position 5.1 in the overview) lights up, the charge voltage of the generator is outside the tolerance. In this case, have the generator of the vehicle checked by a specialist workshop.

CAUTION
In the event of an error message, have your vehicle checked by a specialist workshop since the device is not able to take all intended charge voltages into account.

6.5 USE AS CONSTANT-CURRENT SOURCE

Plug the plug of the charger into the mains socket. In the function selection control panel (Position 4 in the overview) use the selection switch for the operating mode (Position 4.3 in the overview) to set the ,,13.6 V constant” function. Now you can draw a voltage of 13.6 V (idle) at the pole callipers in order to operate small devices suitable for this voltage.

6.6 ERROR CODE TABLE

The error messages are shown on the display after the Start/Stop button has been pressed
