GRAUPNER POLARON EX-1400 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

The charge socket is not suitable for this use.
• The charger sets the required charging current only as long as the technical possibilities of the
charger are not exceeded! Should it be provided a charging current that the charger technically
cannot afford, the value will be automatically reduced to the maximum possible value. In this
case, the actual charge current will be shown in the display.
Make sure to check after a „finish" message that the displayed charge rate shown by the unit is
•
the same you expected. So you can recognize reliable and timely incorrect shutdown. The pro-
bability of false indications depends on many factors, most likely with deep discharged batteries,
low cell counts and particular cell types.
• Make sure, by several test charges, especially on low cell numbers, of the proper function of the
automatic shut-off. Under certain circumstances, fully charged batteries are not detected by a
weak peak, resulting in fire and / or explosion hazard!
• The charger might not detect automatically the connected battery type, LiPo or NiMH, in this
case the battery type and the appropriate charge mode must be selected manually! Conse-
quently, please be sure to check before charging: Is this the appropriate charge program, the
correct charging current is set? Failure to comply may result in fire and / or explosion!
Are all connections securely firm, or is there an intermittent contact? Please keep in mind that
•
the rapid charging of batteries may be dangerous. A break, even for a short time, for example
due to an intermittent contact, leads inevitably to malfunctions, may trigger a restart of the char-
ge and totally overloaded the pack. This represents a fire and / or explosion risk!
