Initial Operation - VOLTCRAFT B6 Notice D'emploi

9. Initial operation

The charger must be used with a stabilised direct current voltage (11-18V=).
Never use the charger with another voltage as this will destroy the charger and
invalidate the warranty/guarantee!
Depending on the accumulator connected, a charge current of up to 5A is
possible. For this reason, the electrical supply chosen must be strong enough.
Connect the supplied connector cable (2 crocodile clips on 1 circular connector) with the power
supply, plug the circular connector into the appropriate socket in the charger (see chapter 7,
position 1).
The charger emits a brief audio signal and the LCD display is illuminated. The charger is now
on the main menu:
Example:

Please heed the following points before connecting/charging the accumulator:
• If you have not done so already, please read chapter 5 and 6 completely and
ensure that you have understood the information there.
• Do you know all of the information about your accumulator that you need to
know? Unknown or unlabelled batteries for which you do not know the
necessary values may not be connected/charged!
• Have you selected the correct charging program for the type of accumulator
you are using? Selecting the wrong settings will damage the charger and the
accumulator and present a risk of fire and explosion!
• Have you selected the appropriate charge current?
• Have you selected the correct voltage (e.g. for multiple-cell LiPo batteries)?
A dual-cell LiPo accumulator can, under certain circumstances, be connected
in parallel (3.7V) or in series (7.4V).
• Are all connector cables and plugs undamaged, do the plugs stay firmly in
the sockets? Worn-out plugs and damaged cables should be replaced.
