GRAUPNER POLARON EX-1400 Operating Instruction page 16

After the expiration of the aforementioned 5 seconds within which you should
have at least made the choice of a particular cycle mode as well as the input of
a delayed start, it starts an automatic battery test.
If no battery is connected, or an improper battery is detected, after completion
of the battery test it will be shown an appropriate error message, see „Alert
messages" on page 48.
NiCd and NiMH batteries cycling process starts as described below by way of
example for a lithium battery after about 5 seconds.
For lithium batteries and PB after few seconds the battery test, it is carried out
a review of the number of cells connected batteries.
Is the battery to cycle connected not only with the charger, but also
with a balancer to the charger, the cell count is determined by the
balancer and the outcome of the review appears as shown on the left
example.
The detected cell count is based on the current battery voltage and
the outcome of the review - if the lithium or PB battery to cycle is con-
nected only with the charge cable to the charger, which appears as
the example shown to the left.
If the displayed number of cells matches the actual number of cells of the con-
nected battery, wait until after about 5 seconds - as described below - charge
will start automatically.
If the displayed number of cells, however, is NOT matching the actual
number of cells of the battery connected, then stop the automatic
timing by pressing the INC or DEC key and then adjust the number of
cells with one of these buttons accordingly. As an indication of the manual
intervention changes the color of the header information when prompted be-
tween red and blue.
ATTENTION!
As a result of incorrectly set number of cells or even a value too
far from cell voltages due to the balancer port, battery can ex-
plode and / or burn!
Press the ENTER button on the bottom right to start the cycle process.

After the lapse of the aforementioned 5 seconds or if necessary, after a manu-
al start, cycle process is begun. Otherwise, an error message is shown.
