Operating instructions Starter-Charger SL 300
1. Connection to mains supply
Connect the unit with the mains cable to a 230 V, 50 cps wall
socket with earthing contact.
The high currents which are taken from the mains supply for
short periods during the starting aid require a fuse protection
by a 16A slow operation fuse or a slow operation automatic
cut-out (type G or K). Quick-acting automatic cut-outs are
unsuitable.
2. Connection of clamps to the battery
Connect charging clamps to the battery poles ensuring good
contact. The blue clamp (-) has to be connected to the
negative pole of the battery, the red clamp (+) to the positive
pole of the battery. If there is an inverse connection of the
poles or if the charging clamps have no contact to the battery
or if the battery voltage of a completely discharged battery is
below 0.6 V, a wrong polarity protection prevents the
charging current from being switched on. The lamp "Störung"
(fault) ( ) will be on (see also paragraph "Fault"). It is
absolutely necessary to avoid sparking, explosion hazard!
Wear protective clothing!
Important
To protect the generator and electronic components, a faulty
contact between the battery and the clamp connections of the
vehicle has to be ensured during starting aid. Before starting,
any corrosion between the poles of the battery and the clamp
connections of the vehicles has to be removed.
3. Adjustment
of
switching on the charger
By switching on the charging voltage of 12 V or 24 V the
charger is switched on at the same time. The yellow lamp
"Ein" (on) ( ) is on.
4. Charging of the battery
For the charging batteries of 20 – 200 Ah can be connected.
The charging current adjusts automatically to the battery
capacity and the state of charge and is indicated by the LCD-
display.
The charging current decreases with progressive charging. A
flat battery is ready for use again after approx. 1 hour. The
charging is terminated when the charging current amounts to
approx. 0 amperes and shall be switched off after 24 hours at
the latest by disconnecting the charger.
5. Starting aid
Connect the starter-charger as described in items 1 - 4.
First the battery is charged. When the starter is activated, the
unit automatically switches over to the high starting aid
current for max. 10 seconds. If several starting attempts are
necessary, there has to be a break of approx. 2 minutes
between the attempts.
During the breaks, the battery will be charged. Longer breaks
contribute to a successful starting.
Attention! During the charging of batteries oxyhydrogen gas can be formed. Charging only in well ventilated
rooms. Avoid fire and sparking. Wear protective goggles, protective gloves and protective clothing!
If the connection cable is damaged, the charger is to be sent to the manufacturer or his service depots for the
exchange of the cable.
Disconnect the battery from the charger only when the charger is switched off!

During the starting process the LCD-display is out of
operation.
6.
Switching off the unit
Before disconnecting the charging cable switch off the unit
(voltage selection switch in position 0). If the charging clamps
are disconnected erroneously while the unit is switched on or
if the clamps slip off, the unit is automatically disconnected
(see "Fault").
7. Faults
At faults, the red lamp "Störung" (fault) ( ) will be on.
If the lamp "Störung" (fault) is on immediately after the unit
has been switched on, there might be the following reasons:
•
Charging clamps confused when being connected to the
battery
•
Clamps have no contact to the battery
•
Battery is completely discharged, the voltage is below
0.6 V.
Switch off the charger, eliminate fault and switch the unit on
again. For switching on the unit in the case of completely
discharged batteries, there is an auxiliary push button
concealed on the back of the unit. In the case of a completely
discharged battery a starting aid is not admissible and not
possible. There is danger of destroying the generator and
electronic components. Completely discharged batteries have
to be precharged outside the vehicle for about half an hour.
The auxiliary push button may only be actuated after the
and
correct polarity of the connection has been checked.
If the lamp "Störung" (fault) is on during the starting aid, the
unit has been overloaded by too frequent starting aid
processes. The unit has then automatically switched over to
charging. After the unit has cooled off during the charging
operation for approx. 20 minutes, the starting attempt can be
repeated.
Automatic cut-out
If the yellow lamp "Ein" (on) is not illuminated after the unit
has been switched on, the automatic cut-out in the charging
circuit has been released. The charging circuit has been
overloaded by defective batteries (short circuit in a cell),
adjustment of wrong voltage (24V instead of 12 V) or starting
aid attempts at overheated unit.
Switch off the unit, eliminate fault, depress automatic cut-out
again after a cooling period. Switch on unit again.
