Operating instructions
General information
Congratulations on your choice of the Robitronic Pro-2000, a
microprocessor-controlled, high-tech battery charger. This device delivers
optimal user-friendliness and maximum reliability. Its built-in multifunction
digital display provides you with sufficient information about the charging
process and the state of the batteries.
This battery charger was designed especially for charging NiCad batteries.
A supply voltage of 13.8 VDC allows charging batteries with 6 to 7 cells.
Warning
Charging NiCad batteries with high current produces a large amount of
gas and thus strong gas pressure within the cells. With old or defective
batteries, this can cause an explosion of the battery cells. Therefore always
maintain a safe distance from the charging and never charge batteries in the
vicinity of small children.
Charging batteries with less than 6 cells or with higher supply voltage
causes greater heating of the charger. Here you should reduce the charging
current since it could cause overheating of or damage to the final stage of
the device.
When charging from an automobile battery, avoid short circuiting the
charging terminals with the automobile chassis. In the battery charger the
positive terminal of the supply voltage is connected directly to the positive
terminal of the charging terminal; on contact with the automobile chassis,
this would cause a short circuit of the automobile battery.
