! Read the instructions before using the charger for the first time
! Do not open the case. Do not modify the unit in any way
! Use the charger exclusively with properly 'balanced' NiCd or
NiMH battery packs designed for rapid-charging
! Use the unit only to charge permanently connected packs
consisting of cells of the same type and capacity, (battery packs
comprising single cells wired in series)
! Do not attempt to connect or charge two batteries simultaneously
! Do not attempt to charge a battery which is already hot
First allow the pack to cool down to ambient temperature.
! Take care never to connect the battery and charger with reverse
polarity
! Do not leave the charger operating unsupervised
! The charger may become warm in use - take care when touching it
Do not cover the charger; provide an adequate flow of cooling air
Do not subject the charger to direct sunshine
! Keep the charger, battery and leads well away from flammable
and temperature-sensitive objects and surfaces

SING THE
HARGER FOR THE
AC mode:
Select the appropriate primary plug for your country and insert it in the
slot in the bottom of the case; the plug must snap securely into place.
Connect the charger to a mains power socket, and it is ready for use. The
red POWER LED will light up.
DC mode:
Locate the DC lead supplied with the charger and insert the polarised
rectangular plug in the appropriate socket (marked DC INPUT) on the top
of the charger. Connect the lead to a 12 V car accessory socket (e.g. cigar
lighter), and the charger is ready for use. The red POWER LED will light up.
Note: the maximum current drain of the charger (
the maximum current (fuse) of the car accessory socket.
Please note: the charger can only cope with 1 - 6-cell batteries (1.2 - 7.2 V)
when used with an input voltage of 12 V. It can charge 1 - 10-cell batteries
(1.2 - 12 V) if connected to a 24 ... 32 V DC power source (e.g. lorry
battery).
Note:
The DC plug for connecting the unit to a 12 V car accessory socket (e.g.
cigar lighter) contains a fuse designed to protect the charger. If the unit
does not work when connected to a 12 V power source, check this fuse
first and replace it if necessary: unscrew the top of the DC plug at the end
contact. The fuse can then be removed (on no account dismantle the
plug completely by undoing the cross-point screw!). The replacement
fuse should be a standard commercial fine glass cartridge fuse (250V / 2A
/ fast-acting).

HARGING
Connecting the battery
Connect the pack to be charged to the charger. The charge lead is fitted
with a green MPX M6 connector (see the main MULTIPLEX catalogue for
details of charge adaptors for other connector systems).
Test phase (battery check)
When you connect the battery the red LADEN/CHARGE LED lights up. The
green VOLL/READY LED flashes to indicate the battery test phase (battery
check), which lasts about one minute. If the charger detects a battery
fault, the LADEN/CHARGE and VOLL/READY LEDs will light simultaneously.
The charge process
At the conclusion of the test phase the charge process begins. For the
first three minutes the unit delivers a pulsed charge current, and the
intervals between pulses become steadily shorter. The unit then supplies
a constant current of around 800 mA; during this time the charge current
is interrupted briefly at regular intervals for measuring and testing.
! Observe the charge information supplied by the battery
manufacturer
Do not exceed the pack's maximum permissible charge current! It is
normal for the pack to warm up to some extent (up to about 50°C) when
on charge. If the pack gets any hotter, disconnect it from the charger: the
pack may not be rapid-charge capable or faulty, or the charge current
may be too high.
Charge termination
The green VOLL/READY LED flashes to indicate the end of the charge.
Pulsed trickle charge
At the end of the charge process the unit switches automatically to a
pulsed trickle charge. The green VOLL/READY LED flashes.
Safety timer
The charger features a safety timer. This runs at the start of the charge
and interrupts the rapid-charge process after 10 hours if the unit has not
already terminated the process by detecting the 'battery full' state.
7. D
ISCHARGING
To avoid the memory effect with NiCd cells it is advisable to discharge
the battery from time to time before recharging it. This is done by
pressing the yellow ENTLADEN/DISCHARGE button after connecting
the battery. The discharge process is indicated by the yellow
ENTLADEN/ DISCHARGE LED. First comes a test phase lasting about
one minute, indicated by the green VOLL/READY LED flashing. The
final discharge voltage is automatically determined at this time.
When the discharge process is concluded a charge process follows
automatically (
6.).
Depending on the battery capacity and
residual charge, the discharge phase may last several hours. You can
interrupt the discharge process at any time by pressing the yellow
DISCHARGE button; this starts the subsequent charge process
prematurely.
