Notes on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor controlled au-
tomatic 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 ena-
bles charging in several steps. The fi nal charging
step, maintenance charging, maintains the batte-
ry capacity at 95–100% and therefore keeps the
battery fully charged at all times. The charging
operation does not need to be monitored. How-
ever, do not leave the battery unattended if you
charge it over an extended period of time, so that
you can disconnect it from the mains power sup-
ply in the event of a fault in the charger.
5.1 Control panel (Fig. 2)
Press „Display select" (7): The battery charging
status (%) or the charging voltage (V) will appear
in the LED display (8); the respective LED (C/D)
will be lit.
Press „Battery select" (6): Select the battery type
you want to charge; the symbol of the selected
battery type will be lit.
Press „Current select": Select the charging cur-
rent; the symbol of the selected charging current
(Fast = 15 A / Slow = 2 A) will be lit.
Press „Engine start": The LED display will show
„Start" and then the waiting time in seconds.

Cables reversed: The clamps are wrongly con-
nected (reverse polarity); the LED „A" will be lit.
„Reconditioning" (LED „B" blinking) and „Char-
ging" (LED „B" steady on); the charging phases
will be indicated.
5.2 Charging the battery:
•
Release or remove the battery stoppers (if
fitted) from the battery.
•
Check the acid level in the battery. If neces-
sary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important. Battery acid is aggres-
sive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly
with lots of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
•
First connect the red charging cable to the
positive pole of the battery.
•
Then connect the black charging cable to the
bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery
and the petrol pipe.
•
Warning! Under normal circumstances the
negative battery pole is connected to the
bodywork and you proceed. In exceptional
cases it is possible that the positive battery
pole is connected to the bodywork (positive
earthing). In this case connect the black
charging cable to the negative pole on the
battery. Then connect the red charging cable
at a point away from the battery and the petrol
pipe.
•
After the battery has been connected to the
charger, you can connect the charger to a so-
cket supplying 230 V ~ 50 Hz. The equipment
automatically recognizes the rated voltage
(6V or 12V) of the connected battery. Do not
connect it to a socket that supplies any other
mains voltage. Important! Charging may
create dangerous explosive gas and therefore
you should avoid spark formation and naked
flames whilst the battery is charging. There is
a risk of explosion!

Fig. 2: The current battery voltage is blinking
on the LED display (8). Press the „Battery
select" pushbutton (6) and select the battery
type for a 12V battery (lead acid, AGM or
GEL). Note: You can charge only 6V lead acid
batteries.
•
Fig. 2: Press the „Current select" pushbutton
(2) and select the required charging current
Check your settings. After a few seconds the
LED „Reconditioning/Charging" (B) and the
LED display (8) will light up continuously. The
equipment is charging the battery. When the
battery is fully charged, „FUL" will appear on
the LED display.
