3. Operating Instructions
Before using the equipment.
Please also refer to the instructions in the
vehicle owner's manuals for the car, radio,
navigation systems, etc.
The charger is designed for charging non-
maintenance free or maintenance free 6/12V
starter batteries (lead acid batteries)
and for Lead GEL/ AGM batteries which are
used in motor vehicles. The equipment is
to be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user/operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage
or injuries of any kind caused as a result
of this. Please note that our equipment has
not been designed for use in commercial,
trade or industrial applications. Our warranty
will be voided if the machine is used in
commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for equivalent purposes.
Notes on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor controlled
automatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in
particular for charging maintenance-free
batteries and for the long-term charging and
maintenance-charging of batteries which are
not in constant use, e.g. for classic cars,
recreational vehicles, lawn tractors and the
like. The integrated microprocessor enables
charging in several steps. The final charging
step, maintenance charging, maintains the
battery capacity at 95-100% and therefore
keeps the battery fully charged at all times.
The charging operation does not need to be
monitored. However, it is recommended to
periodically check on the battery during this
type of charging.
Explanation of the symbols in the LCD
display (Fig. 2)
A - Charging of a 12V battery (lead acid
battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) with
2A charging current.
B - Charging of a 12V battery (lead acid
battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) with
4A charging current.
C - Charging of a 12V battery (lead acid
battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) in
winter mode with 4A charging current and
an ambient temperature of – 20°C to
+5°C. Danger!
Do not charge any frozen batteries.
D - Charging of a 6V battery (lead acid battery,
AGM battery and GEL battery) with 2A
charging current.
E - Defective battery
F - Clamps are wrongly connected (reverse
polarity) or there is a short-circuit
G - Battery voltage display in volts
H - Charge status of the battery in percent (1
increment = 25%) and charging procedure
(increment in the battery symbol flashes =
battery charging in progress; all increments
are lit = battery is fully charged).
