Operation

The correct charging characteristic must be set on the CPC battery charger before installation and
connection to the battery. There are 15 charging characteristics (and one test setting) stored in the
internal battery charger memory; these can be requested via a 16-level rotary potentiometer.
Use the table on the characteristic sheet (delivered with the battery charger) to choose the appropriate
setting for your application depending on battery type and capacity, and adjust the charger to this
position by turning the potentiometer.
Fig. 1 Position of the potentiometer and front display
Attach the enclosed sticker in such a way that it covers the setting potentiometer and
the recess is over the multi-colour LED.
Refer to section 2.5 of this manual for details of the LED status display and the
meaning of the colour code of the three-colour LED.

Choose the correct battery type "Standard" (for wet cell batteries) or "Gel/AGM" (for
sealed lead batteries using gel or AGM technology) from the characteristic sheet.
Your batteries will only be charged perfectly when the correct setting has been made.
See your battery data sheet for information on battery charging, or ask your battery
supplier.
If you have any questions about the correct charge setting, please contact LEAB or
your battery manufacturer.
Other charging programs for special applications are available on request.
If batteries are charged using an unsuitable characteristic, their performance can be
impaired and the battery will not reach its capacity.
The wrong charging characteristic can damage or destroy the battery.
