6.1 PREPARATION

Clean the battery pole of dust and corrosion residue.
Only for open batteries: Top up with distilled water until
the minimum fi lling level is reached. Leave the cells of
the battery open until the end of the charging process.
With maintenance-free batteries, follow the instruc-
tions of the battery manufacturer precisely.

6.2 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected
to the power socket. Always fi rst connect the
red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus
pole of the battery. Then connect the black
minus cable (-) to the minus pole of the bat-
tery. If you wish to charge the battery while
it is installed, connect the black minus cable
(-) to the chassis, far away from the battery,
carburettor and fuel lines. Always stick to this
sequence.
CAUTION
After plugging the mains cable inselect the
desired charging pro- gramme by operating
the MODE button multiple times. If the MODE
button is not pressed, the charging process is
not started. When charging has started it is no
longer possible to switch to another charging
program, If you wish to work with a program
other than the set charging program, pull the
plug out of the socket and wait until the display
has gone dark. Then insert the plug again and
proceed as described above.
Now, connect the power plug of the charger to
the mains socket. The background illumination
of the display is activated.
If the battery has been connected incorrectly
(wrong poles) or the charger has no contact, the
following error message appears on the display
˝ Er 1˝. If the error message ˝Er 2˝is shown, a
defective 6 V battery has been connected, this
cannot be charged using the battery charger. If
the battery has been correctly connected, the
display shows the current battery voltage and
the symbol for the set charging programme.
By pressing (multiple times) the MODE button,
you can select the appropriate charging pro-
gramme for your needs.
The charging programmes appear in the following order
and may be selected by pressing the MODE button:
Motorbike 6 V Motorbike 6 V winter
Motorbike 12 V Motorbike 12 V winter
Car 12 V Car 12 V winter
At the beginning of the charging process, if necessary,
e.g. in the case of sulphated batteries, an attempt is
made to regenerate the connected battery with the help
of short pulsating current surges. This revitalisation fun-
ction is automatic and cannot be set directly. Depending
on the charging state of the battery, the device adapts
the charging current in order to best charge the connec-
ted battery. The specifi ed maximum charging current is
only used during the main charging phase. Shortly befo-
re the full charging capacity is achieved, the device swit-
ches to a lower charging current. This ensures that the
battery is gently and optimally charged to full capacity.
The battery symbol (7) (Figure 2: Display) shown on the
display indicates the current fi lling level of the battery.
