Commissioning

Before breaking or making direct-current connections, e.g. the charging cable
at the battery, the device be switched off at the mains. Pull out the mains plug.
The charger is operational as soon as it is connected to the mains.

Charging a battery

Explosive gases (oxyhydrogen) are produced if charging is carried out with a
short-circuited battery, or when the automatic charging controller is non-
operational. Therefore it is necessary to ensure sufficient external ventilation in
the battery space. Avoid sparks and open flames! Batteries with short-circuited
cells must not be charged!
Prerequisites
The battery must have a rated voltage of 12 volt and a minimum capacity of 60
Ah. Insufficient charging takes place if the battery is below this value. The
operating voltage of the battery must not fall below 1.5 V. No charging takes
place below this value. Batteries with short-circuited cells must not be charged.
Explosion hazard due to the generation of oxyhydrogen gas!
Charging process
Battery charging proceeds automatically. Charging resumes after any mains
failure, depending on the voltage of the battery. The main charging process
ends when a battery voltage of 14.4 V is reached. On expiry of the 6-hour set-
ting of the timer, the process switches to holding charge at a constant 13.8 V.
Parallel operation
The parallel connection is made automatically. During driving operation, it
depends on the current available from the generator, and in mains operation
from the level of charge of the supply battery.
Note
In parallel operation, the current drawn up by electrical equipment should be
less than the maximum charging current of 12 A. This is the only way to ensure
that the battery is being charged even though consumers are being supplied.
