Note:
•
Connect the charger to the socket outlet
(check the technical data). All the LEDs will
flash briefly 2x.
•
If the voltage of the 12V battery is less than
3V (less than 15.5V for a 24V battery), it can-
not be charged.
•
To select the battery types or winter mode,
press the BATTERY SELECT button (Fig. 1/
Item 4). The corresponding LED indicator
(Fig. 2 / Item C/D/E) lights up.
•
Pressing the AMPERE SELECT button (Fig.
1/Item 5) allows you to set the maximum
charging current strength or the 24V repair
function. The LED for the applicable charging
current strength (Fig. 2 / Item F/G) or the LED
for the 24V repair function (Fig. 2 / Item H)
lights up.
•
The battery is charged in an automatic pro-
cess consisting of not more than 6 charge
settings, depending on the available battery
voltage.
•
The actual charging current depends on the
charge setting the charger is currently in, and
may be less than the set max. charging cur-
rent.
5.4.1 Standard charging programs
A) STD: Charging program for lead acid batteries
(wet, Ca/Ca, EFB batteries) and gel batteries. The
"STD" LED lights up the fi rst time the charger is
used.
B) AGM: Charging program for AGM batteries.
Press the "BATTERY SELECT" button to switch
from the STD to the AGM charging program.

5.4.2 Special charging programs
C) Winter: Recommended charging program
(higher end-of-charge voltage) in cold weather
(ambient temperature -20 °C - +5 °C) for normal
lead acid batteries (wet / Ca/Ca batteries) and
AGM batteries.
Press the "BATTERY SELECT" button to switch
from the AGM to the "Winter" charging program.

5.5 Charging the battery:

•
Release or remove the battery stoppers (if
fitted) from the battery.
•
Check the acid level in the battery. If neces-
sary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important! Battery acid is aggres-
sive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly
with lots of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
•
First connect the red charging cable to the
positive pole of the battery.
•
Then connect the black charging cable to the
bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery
and the petrol pipe.
•
Warning! Under normal circumstances the
negative battery pole is connected to the bo-
dywork and you proceed as described above.
In exceptional cases it is possible that the po-
sitive battery pole is connected to the body-
work (positive earthing). In this case, connect
the black charger cable to the negative pole
on the battery. Then connect the red charger
cable to the bodywork at a point away from
the battery and the petrol pipe.
•
After the battery has been connected to the
charger, you can connect the charger to a
socket (see Technical Data). You can now
change the charging settings (see section
5.3).
•
Important! Charging may create dangerous
explosive gas and therefore you should avoid
spark formation and naked flames whilst the
battery is charging. There is a risk of explosi-
on! It is essential that you ventilate the rooms
well.
•
If "FUL" appears in the LED display, the char-
ging process is completed. The charger holds
the battery at 95 % – 100 % available battery
capacity using pulsed charging. If the battery
was discharged and the charger shows this
after just a few minutes, this indicates that the
battery capacity is low. The battery cannot be
recharged any further.
