NiMH charging mode
When charging NiMH batteries, the charger is
switched off using the Delta Peak Method.

8. Equalizing Without Charging
1. Use the voltage sensor lead to connect a
lithium battery to the charger via the voltage
sensor connection.
2. Ensure correct polarity and position when
connecting. The black wire of the sensor lead
must be aligned with the arrow mark on the
charger casing.
3. Ensuring correct polarity, now connect the
main power cables of the battery to the con-
nection at the charger (red = +/black = -).
4. Briefly press the Start button.
5. The battery voltage is shown in the display
during the charging process.
6. Briefly press the Start button again to stop the
equalizing process.
The equalizer LEDs indicate the status of the
connected cells.
Constantly flashing or lit LEDs indicate that the
cells are being balanced.
The LEDs only flashing sporadically or off indi-
cate that the battery is balanced and is ready for
use.

9. Fault Signalling
A fault is indicated by the status LED flashing
in the corresponding LED flash sequence, (----)
flashing in the LC display and the beeper sound-
ing at 0.5 second intervals.
After eliminating the cause of fault, the fault code
memory is reset by pressing the Start button.
