6.4. Select charging mode
Select a charging mode depending on the battery type and environmental temper-
ature. You can also recharge a completely discharged battery ("regeneration").
The charger's electronics automatically recognise the battery type (6 V/ 12 V) and
automatically start the charging process after around three seconds. This avoids
sparks that often occur during the connection process.
In order to select a charging mode press the MODE button several times. The
icon for the relevant mode is displayed on the screen.
The charger recognises the modes suitable for the battery type. Therefore not
every mode can be selected for every battery.
After selecting a mode the charger implements it. If a battery remains attached
to the charger after complete charging, the charger automatically switches to
trickle charging. The battery is also charged with trickle charging if another
mode is selected.
6.5. Adjust charging current manually
If as a result of battery voltage being too low the correct battery tap is not detected,
you can also adjust the charging mode manually.
Hold down the MODE button for about 3 seconds.
Then select the right charging mode with the MODE button.
6.5.1. Mode 1 (Charging process for 6 V battery, receiver
battery capacity 1.2–120 Ah, 1 A charging current)
Set this mode to charge 6 V lead acid batteries with a capacity under 120 Ah.
The charger normally recognises the mode suitable for the battery type. If the bat-
tery is still not detected, do the following:
NOTE
Refer to the nameplate on your battery for the battery type.
Press the MODE button several times to select Mode 1.
Charging mode 1
If you then do not set another mode the electronics automatically start the charg-
ing process with a charging current of around 1 A.
When the battery is fully charged, all bars on the battery display are permanently lit.
Trickle charging takes place in this status.
