Statistics mode Visualizes the frequency of the operating states of the device and shows the total number of charges, as well as an overview of the abso- lute and average Ah delivered and energy consumed per charge.
In standard mode, the display shows the battery charger parameters: Type of battery (e.g., Pb-WET) Charging characteristic (e.g., IUI) Nominal voltage (e.g., 48 V) Capacity (e.g., 300 Ah) Weekday, date and time The battery charger parameters are individually adjustable.

External start/ The external start/stop option prevents spark formation at the charging plug if it stop is disconnected during charging. Special contacts inside the charging plug re- gister a disconnection from the charging socket. These contacts are leading in comparison to the main contacts. An immediate charging stop is triggered. There is therefore no wear on the main contacts and the level of safety against oxyhy- drogen ignition is increased.
Function Color An error has occurred (common error). Lights up: Battery is charging. Yellow Flashing: Charge has been interrupted. The battery has already cooled down and is ready for Blue use. If the RGB (LED strip) setting is stored in the menu, the connection (15) (yellow) is not supported.
