2. Proper use

This device is a primary-side switched charging device with

pulse trickle charging. It is suitable for charging and maintaining

the charge of the following rechargeable 6 V or 12 V lead batter-

ies containing an electrolyte solution or gel as well as AGM bat-

teries:

− 6V: Capacity of 1.2 Ah to 14 Ah;

− 12V: Capacity of 1.2 Ah to 120 Ah;

It can also regenerate fully discharged 12V batteries (regenera-

tion mode).

The device is not designed for commercial use.

Use the charger only to charge the battery types stated in these

instructions. No other batteries may be charged with the charg-

er. When using other types of batteries there is a risk of injury

and the charger could be damaged.

6.3. Connecting the charger to the battery

ATTENTION!

Risk of electric shock!

There is a risk of electric shock from live parts.

 Before assembly and maintenance work and before

cleaning the device, always unplug it from the mains

power supply!

 Always unplug the device before removing or at-

taching the connection clamps to the terminals on

the battery.

NOTE

Before disconnecting a car or motor bike battery, first consult the vehi-

cle’s instruction manual on the potential consequences of disconnecting

the battery.

 If the battery that you wish to charge is connected in the

vehicle, first disconnect the vehicle's negative terminal

connection cable (black) from the battery's negative ter-

minal before the charging or trickle charging process. The

battery’s negative terminal is usually connected to the

vehicle’s bodywork.

 Then disconnect the vehicle's positive terminal connec-

tion cable (red) from the battery's positive terminal.

 Then attach the charger's positive terminal clamp (red) to

the battery's positive terminal and then the negative terminal clamp (black) to

the battery's negative terminal.

 Connect the battery charger's mains cable to a mains socket.

6.4. Select charging mode

Select a charging mode depending on the battery type and ambient temperature.

You can also recharge a completely discharged battery (“regeneration”).

The charger's electronics do not start the charging process directly after connect-

ing the battery but only after a charging mode has been selected. This avoids sparks

that often occur during the connection process.

 To select a charging mode, press the MODE button several times. The symbol of

the respective mode will be shown on the display.

80

 The charger recognises the modes suitable for the battery type. Therefore not

every mode can be selected for every battery.

 After selecting a mode the charger implements it. If a battery remains attached

to the charger once charging is complete, the charger automatically switches to

trickle charging. The battery is also trickle charged if another mode is selected.

6.4.1. Mode 1 (6 V to max. 14 Ah batteries)

Set this mode to charge 6 V lead acid batteries with a capacity under 14 Ah.

The charger will normally recognise the modes suitable for the battery type. If the

You can identify the battery type from the type plate on your battery.

 Press the MODE button several times to select Mode 1.

Charging mode 1

6V

will be shown in the display.

If you do not then set another mode, the electronics automatically start the charg-

ing process with a charging current of around 1 A.

Once the battery is fully charged, the frame around the battery icon stops flashing

and the entire battery icon lights up permanently. Trickle charging takes place in

this status.

6.4.2. Mode 2 (12 V to max. 120 Ah batteries)

Set this mode to charge batteries with a capacity under 120 Ah.

The charger will normally recognise the modes suitable for the battery type. If the

battery is not recognised, proceed as follows:

NOTE

You can identify the battery type from the type plate on your battery.

 Press the MODE button several times to select Mode 2.

and the entire battery icon lights up permanently. Trickle charging takes place in

this status.

6.4.4. Mode 4 (fast charging for 12 V batteries, from 1.2 Ah to

120 Ah, in cold temperatures)

Set this mode to charge batteries with a capacity over 1.2 Ah and lower ambient

temperatures. Set this mode also to charge AGM batteries (absorbent glass mat:

batteries in which the electrolyte is held in glass fibre mats) with a capacity of more

than 1.2Ah.

The charger will normally recognise the modes suitable for the battery type. If the

battery is not recognised, proceed as follows:

NOTE

You can identify the battery type from the type plate on your battery.

 Press the MODE button several times to select Mode 4.

Charging mode 4 will be shown.

If you do not then set another mode, the electronics automatically start the charg-

ing process with a charging current of around 4 A.

Once the battery is fully charged, the frame around the battery icon stops flashing

and the entire battery icon lights up permanently. Trickle charging takes place in

this status.

82

6.5. Regenerating/recharging fully discharged 12 V

batteries (regeneration mode)

 Attach the fully discharged battery into the charger and start the charging pro-

cess.

In this regeneration mode the battery is charged until the charger measures a ter-

minal voltage that is high enough for a regular charging mode. The device then

switches automatically to an appropriate charging mode and continues charging.

6.6. Device protection function

The device is protected against improper use. If there is a short circuit between the

terminals so that the power circuit is not closed (the terminals are not clamped cor-

rectly) or the battery voltage falls below 7.5V, the device remains in standby mode.

You cannot operate the device.

In the event that the terminals have the wrong polarity (are connected incorrectly),

the display also lights up.

If the battery itself is faulty,

-

+

lights up on the display.

6.6.1. Overheating cut-out

If the device overheats during charging, the charging power is reduced to a lower

output. This protects the device from damage.

NOTE

The low charging current can significantly increase the charging time.

6.7. Removing the battery

When removing the battery from the charger, proceed in the following order:

 After charging disconnect the device from the mains power.

 Detach the negative terminal clamp (black) from the battery's negative terminal.

 Detach the positive terminal clamp (red) from the battery's positive terminal.

 Reconnect the vehicle's positive terminal connection cable to the battery's posi-

tive terminal.
