H Power supply, e.g. when changing a battery
K Charge status of the battery in percent (1 in-
crement = 25%) and charging process (incre-
ment lit = the battery has reached the charge
level shown; increment in the battery symbol
fl ashes = the battery is being charged to the
next charge level; all increments are lit = the
battery is fully charged).
5.2 Setting the charging programs (Fig. 2)
Note:
•
Press the "Mode" button (Fig. 1/Item 1) to
switch to the various programs. The symbol
for the applicable program will appear in the
display. The batteries will be charged using
the program which is displayed.
•
To go to the RECOND program, press the
"Mode" button for 5 seconds.
•
To get back to the 12V STD program from the
RECOND program or the SUPPLY function,
also press the "Mode" button for 5 seconds.
•
If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.5 V
or more than 15 V, the battery is either not sui-
table for charging or it is faulty. The message
"BAt" will appear in the LCD display. The "G"
symbol will flash. It is also possible that other
battery errors or faults can mean that the bat-
tery cannot be charged.
•
If there is a short-circuit between the charging
terminals while the SUPPLY function is on,
the message "Lo V" will appear in the LCD
display. The "G" symbol will flash.
•
When the charger is disconnected from the
socket outlet, the last charging program to
have been set will be saved (apart from RE-
COND and SUPPLY) and will be the default
program the next time the charger is used.
•
CE-BC 4M only: When the charger clamps
are connected to the battery, the charger
draws a very small amount of electricity from
the battery and the LCD display comes on
briefly. This is not a fault.
GB
5.2.1 Standard charging programs
A) 12V STD: Charging program for lead acid
batteries (wet, Ca/Ca, EFB batteries) and gel bat-
teries. When the charger is used for the fi rst time,
12V STD will appear in the display.
B) 12V AGM: Charging program for AGM batte-
ries Press the "Mode" button –> switch from the
12V STD to the 12V AGM charging program
5.2.2 Special charging programs
C) Winter: The recommended charging program
for cold weather conditions (ambient temperature
of -20°C to +5°C) for normal lead acid batteries
(wet / Ca/Ca batteries) Press the "Mode" button
–> switch from the 12V AGM to the "Winter" char-
ging program
D) 12V M: Charging program for batteries with a
low capacity (see "Technical data") and for trickle
charging of all batteries listed in 3. "Proper use".
Press the "Mode" button –> switch from the "Win-
ter" to the "12 M" charging program
F) RECOND: Charging program with higher end-
of-charge voltage and constant current charging,
used only for restoring the charging capability
of lead acid batteries which have undergone ex-
haustive discharge.
The RECOND process must be checked every
half an hour and must never exceed a time of 4
hours. Refer to the instructions supplied by the
battery manufacturer.
Important! To go to this program, the "Mode" but-
ton (Fig. 1/Item 1) must be pressed for 5 seconds.
Warning!
•
Gassing generates explosive gas – risk of
explosion! Ensure that there is good ven-
tilation.
•
Only use the RECOND program for lead acid
batteries and only as described below. Take
care to avoid spilling any battery acid. Battery
acid is aggressive. Read and observe the sa-
fety information.
•
Never use for a battery which is of sealed de-
sign (VRLA battery such as, e.g. AGM or GEL
battery). Refer to the instructions supplied by
the battery manufacturer.
•
Only use for batteries which are free-standing
and have been taken out of the car, not while
installed in your car with a connection to the
car's electrical system. The higher charging
voltage could damage the electrical system.
