Robitronic EXPERT Instructions

Sounds to signalise end of charge:
Sound Nr:
Play = START Key
There is a choice of 10 different melodies for signalling. Pressing the Start-button will play the selected melody.
Sound Repeat
Rate:
Sound repeat will select the time to repeat the signal after charging is completed and may be set between 0 and 50 seconds. This will make
sure that any accidental cut-off will be noticed. To switch off the signal press any key or disconnect the battery.
CHARGING
Connecting a battery:
Connect the battery to charge to the front side wires - red to the positive (+) pole and black to the negative (-) pole. Reverse connecting the
battery sounds an alarm.
To start charging:
Correctly connected batteries will show "RDY" and the battery voltage on the mutlifunctional display.
Pressing the Start-button will start the charging process. The control LED lights up to confirm the charging process. The charging current,
battery voltage, temperature and time elapsed since start will be shown on the display.
End of charging:
Charging will be terminated automatically whenever the Delta Peak voltage or the preset temperature is reached and will be made heard
by a melody. The time for charging and charged capacity will be shown on the display.
To manually terminate the charging process just press the Start-button again (LED goes off).

TIP:
For better battery care we recommend our Robitronic Equalizer Discharge Tray (# RS111).
Regular use of our discharge tray should prolonge lifetime and enhance performance of your packs.
Specifications:
·
Quick single cell discharge of saddle or side-by-side packs.
·
Automatic cut-off at 0,8 V/cell to prevent deep discharge.
·
Equalises discharge level for all cells.
·
LED indiactor for single cells.
·
Suited for packs with or without soldered socket connectors.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Asterix in current display:
Whenver an asterix is shown on the display near the charging current the current had to be reduced because of overload conditions.
To correct this problem reduce the supply voltage or reset the charging current to a lower setting.
Wrong display of temperature:
Strange or constantly changing values for the temperature display indicate a broken wire to the probe. As this may lead to false cut-off one
should disable the temperature cut-off as a quick work-around. Repair of the defective temperatue probe is recommended.
Charging won't start:
"OFF" is still displayed after pressing the Start-button: Check for correct connections, broken wires or defective cells.

General information:
The Robitronic Expert is a computerised high performance charger. It was developed with ergonomics and reliability in mind. The backlit
multifunctional display provides total information about the charging progress and the state of the battery on charge.
ATTENTION
!
When using high current settings internal pressure may build up during the recharging process causing a risk of explosion when charging
old or defective cells. Therefore always keep the charger and batteries on charge well away from small children.
When charging from an automotive battery avoid contact between output leads and car body. Positive wire is connected straight through
from input to output shorting out the car battery when this happens.
CONNECTIONS
Connect the red wire (positive) and the black wire (negative) from the backside(!) of the Expert Charger
to a suitable power supply.
Suitable power supplies are automotive batteries or stabilised power supplies with a high enough output
current rating and an output voltage between 12 and 15 V=.
Connecting the charger the wrong way will trigger an electronic protection circuit. If this happens there is
no need to change a blown fuse, just connect the charger correctly (red wire to + and black wire to -).
