connected from all voltage sources.

A defect mains line and/or mains plug as well as the integrated fuse may only be

replaced by a specialist who is familiar with the relevant safety speciﬁcations and

regulations.



ATTENTION

Charging devices and batteries/accumulators must be kept out of

the reach of children.

Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the accumu-

lators.

Do not leave the batteries/accumulators lying around in the open;

there is a risk of them being swallowed by children or pets. If

swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

Leaking or damaged batteries/accumulators may cause burning if

they come into contact with the skin. Therefore, you should use

suitable protective gloves when handling batteries/accumulators.

Do not short-circuit batteries/accumulators and do not throw bat-

teries/accumulators into a ﬁre. Batteries may never be re-char-

ged. Danger of explosion!

You should also heed the safety instructions in each chapter of these instructions.

General

Accumulators consist of two electrodes put into an electrolyte; thus, an accumulator

is a chemical element. Chemical processes are running inside this element. Since

these processes are reversible it is possible to recharge accumulators.

The so called charge voltage is required for recharging accumulators. This voltage

must be higher than the cell voltage. Moreover, the energy (mAh) supplied for the

charging process must be higher than the one that can be drawn afterwards. This

ratio of the energy supplied to the energy drawn is called efficiency.

The capacity that can be taken mainly depends on the discharge current; it is decisi-

ve for the condition of the accumulator. The supplied charge cannot be used as a

measure, because a proportion of it will be lost (for example converted into heat).

18

The capacity data given by the manufacturer is the maximum theoretic quantity of cur-

rent which can be delivered by the accumulator. That means that for example an accu-

mulator of 2000mAh can theoretically deliver a current of 1000mA (= 1 ampere) for two

hours. This value considerably depends on many factors (condition of the accumulator,

discharge current, temperature, etc.).

The term C-rate is very common for charging devices. The C-rate is the amount of

current usually indicated for the charging and discharging processes. This current

value given in ampere corresponds to the nominal capacity given in ampere-hours;

that means that 1C = 2.0A for an accumulator of 2000mAh.

Please note that the accumulator capacity which can be drawn mainly depends on the

discharge current: The lower the discharge current the higher the capacity that can be

drawn.

Nowadays, noted manufacturers indicate C/3 for the capacity of an accumulator. That

means that for example an accumulator of 2500mAh achieves these 2500mAh for a

discharge current of 850mA (= ca. C/3). But if a manufacturer indicates a discharge

current of C/10 (= 250mA) for an accumulator of 2500mAh you can take it for granted

that this accumulator cannot deliver 2500mAh for a discharge current of 850mA! The-

refore, the accumulator provided with the indication C/10 is the worse accumulator.

Accumulators discharge themselves in the course of time. This property is known as

self-discharge.

Properties

This is a charge set for nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride accumulators; it

charges in a rapid or accelerated manner.

The microcomputer-controlled charging process charges the accumulators to 100%.

100% means up to 115% of the capacity indicated for new accumulators and less

than 100% of the capacity indicated for older ones.

This charging set does not require a discharge before starting the recharge process.

Based on its current charge status the accumulator is recharged to its currently pos-

sible 100%.

The recharging cycle is controlled independently of the charge status of the accumu-

lator.

The charging set is provided with an automatic charge conservation.

The charging device has an automatic accumulator monitoring system. The automa-

tic accumulator detection registers if an accumulator is inserted or removed.

19

A memory effect is not caused (the charging current is pulsed). Thus, a high internal

resistance of the accumulator decreases and its current carrying capacity increases.

The efficiency of the accumulator is improved (ratio of the required quantity of cur-

rent to the capacity that can be delivered).

The charging set does not have a memory backup. In case of power failure the char-

ging process starts anew.

If an accumulator exceeds ca. 80% of the capacity it can take up during the rechar-

ging process, a portion of the charging current will be converted into heat. This can

heat up the accumulator.

Initial Operation



Since the device generates heat when operating, ensure that it is

adequately ventilated. The housing must not be covered!

Installing the device

Look for a suitable place close to a mains socket.

The charging station can be set up on a stable and horizontal surface.



Use an appropriate base support to protect the surface of your furnitu-

re. Softener-solvent substances contained in furniture preservatives

could etch the rubber feet of the charger which then in their turn could

damage your furniture.

Connection

If required, remove all accumulators inserted, connect the charging manager and

activate the POWER switch at the back of the device to switch it on. All the ten light

emitting diodes are turned on one after the other and then go out simultaneously.

In this period of time the charge managers performs a self-test.

Now, insert one MONO (R20) or BABY (R16) accumulator centrally in one of the four

twin compartments for round cells or insert one MIGNON (R6) or MICRO (R03) accu-

mulator at the edge of the twin compartments. You can also insert a 9V compound

accumulator in one of the two provided charge compartments.

Always observe the correct polarity.

20

The charge manager identiﬁes this accumulator and starts the CHARGE programme:

the LED ﬂashes in a cycle rate of one second.

A running programme can only be interrupted by removing the accumulator.

If a programme has been successfully completed,the LED does not ﬂash any longer

and gives a permanent light. Now, the accumulator can be removed.

If you do not remove the accumulator and the accumulator needs to be recharged,

the charge conservation programme TRICKLE will be started automatically; this

means that the accumulator will be recharged.

If the recharging process has not been successful, an error message will be display-

ed at the appropriate LED (double ﬂash) and the charging station does not charge

this accumulator any longer.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Apart from an occasional cleaning this charge manager is maintenance-free.

Use a clean, lint-free, antistatic and dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use any

abrasive or chemical agents or detergents containing solvents.

Disposal of Flat Accumulators

You, as the ultimate consumer, are legally obliged (Regulation on Flat Batteries) to

return all ﬂat batteries and accumulators. Disposal in the household waste is pro-

hibited!

Batteries/accumulators containing hazardous substances are marked

by the symbols alongside. These symbols also indicate that it is pro-

hibited to dispose of these batteries in the household waste.

The symbols for dangerous heavy metals are Cd= cadmium,Hg =

mercury Pb = lead and can be seen under the dustbin symbol.

You can return ﬂat batteries/accumulators free of charge to the collec-

tion points in your community, our branches or anywhere else where

batteries or accumulators are sold.

You thus fulﬁl the legal requirements and make your contribution to the protec-

tion of the environment!

identiﬁed accumulator?

- Are the contacts (of the charging set and/or accumu-

lator) contaminated?

ERROR indication with - The accumulator voltage is too high (battery possibly

an inserted accumulator inserted)

- Accumulator voltage too low (defect accumulator)

- Hardware error detection of the device: charge an

operational accumulator in the same compartment If

the error is detected again, the device is to be repaired.

EMC impulse, - No LED indication or no response:

electrostatic Turn off the device via the mains power switch and

discharge = ESD, then turn it on again

surge pulse or - Error message: here the hardware error detection

line guided has responded to protect the accumulator: Take out

interference immunity the accumulator and insert it anew.

Considerable - Due to the high efficiency of the device the upper and

temperature rise lower sides of the housing can be heated up; there is

at the housing not any defect; ensure a sufficient ventilation

The device does not - Turn off the device and then turn it on again
