Use the "Up/Down" keys to set the desired value (e.g. "24" for the number of battery cells). Use the "Pause/Start" key to confirm what you have entered. If one or more relevant settings are changed for the charging process in configur- ation mode, you will once again be prompted to confirm acceptance of the changed settings when exiting configuration mode.
Electrolyte cir- "Air Pump" electrolyte circulation (not culation available on the Selectiva 220 V vari- ant): The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the charger's control system. A number of selection options are available for this purpose. The following settings are available for electrolyte circulation: Electrolyte circulation switched off.
The following settings are available for temperature-controlled charging: automatic/OFF/required automatic ... Temperature-dependent adjustment of the charging character- istic. OFF ... The measured battery temperature is not taken into account. required ... Charging only starts if the temperature sensor is connected. Error overtemperature ON/OFF ON ...
Delay If the battery remains connected to the charger for the duration of the equalising charge delay ("equalize charge delay"), a special type of charging takes place. This prevents acid stratification. The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/ cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.
If the "Automatic/continue charging" option is activated, the charging process is automatically continued after a fault in the electrical network as soon as the electrical network is available again. Calendar Calendar The calendar function allows charging to be started automatically according to the following criteria: Time window in which charging may not be started if a battery is connected.

NOTE! Ongoing charging operations are unaffected by the set time windows. ▶ If, in the example above, a battery is connected at 05:45, the charge end time is governed according to need and is not interrupted by the end time specified for the set time window (06:00 in the example).
Special charges Special Charges Selecting "Special Charges" allows one or more of the alternative charging types to be performed temporarily. The "repeat" setting defines how often the alternative charging mode should be performed until the device reverts to the original charging parameters again: Setting range 1 to 99 repetitions Disable Start Button...

Options Safety The housing has to be partially opened to connect the options. WARNING! Danger of electric shock. This may result in serious injuries or death. ▶ The housing must never be opened by anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer.
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. 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 oxyhydrogen ignition is in- creased.
Connection Function Colour 12 V power supply Battery is fully charged Green On: battery is being charged Yellow Flashing: charging has been interrupted An error has occurred (common error) The battery has already cooled down and is ready for Blue If the RGB setting (LED strip) is set in the menu, then connection 3 (YELLOW) is not supported.
WARNING! Work that is carried out improperly can cause serious injury or damage. Connection work on the device must only be carried out by qualified specialist technicians. If there are Installation Instructions or User Information for the op- tional component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed.
