BATTERY CHARGER
For charging a permanently installed battery in a vehicle
Check the polarity of the battery. Usually a negative battery pole has a smaller diameter
than a positive pole.
Check which pole is connected to the chassis for the earthing. Normally the negative
pole is earthed.
Negative earthed battery
Connect the red cable (8) with the clamp (6) to the positive pole and the
cable (9) with the clamp (7) to the vehicle chassis.
Make sure the black cable (9) has no contact with the fuel line or the battery.
Positive earthed battery
Connect the black cable (9) with the clamp (7) to the positive pole and the
cable (8) with the clamp (6) to the vehicle chassis.
Make sure the red cable (8) has no contact with the fuel line and the battery.
• The charger will automatically start in
• In mode the charger automatically resets itself to basic settings.
• Select the correct charging mode by pressing
& TIME).
• If you press the button (10) repeatedly, charging mode toggles to the next operation mode and begins functioning in that specific mode.
• The charging process starts with the current of the individual charging mode. The LED
• The LED (15) will remain lit during the entire charging process until the end of the charging process.
• The battery is fully charged when the LED
• At this stage the trickle charge will be performed to maintain and protect the battery (see 7 CHARGING PHASES).

Rescuing drained battery

• The charger is able to charge most drained batteries with voltages below 7.5 V ±0.5 V.
• Before the start of bulk charging process, the charger automatically detects the voltage of the battery.
• The charger will not start due its safety circuit when the voltage is below 7.5 V ±0.5 V.
• In the voltage range of 7.5 V ±0.5 V to 10.5 V ±0.5 V charger initiates a pulse charging mode.
• If the voltage rises above 10.5 V ±0.5 V, charger changes over to the previously selected normal charging mode which charges faster and safer.

7) CHARGING PHASES

• The charger performs 5-step fully automatic charging cycle.
