LED flashes red „Error": faulty cell detected
The charging status of the rechargeable batteries are supervised by the micro-
controller in regular intervals. This is indicated by a short flashing of the status
indicators for about 8-10 seconds every minute.
Operation:
Connect the charger to the mains supply (100–240 V AC 50-60 Hz). After inser-
ting the rechargeable batteries the state of charge is displayed. Then the charge-/
refresh process starts for every charging circuit separately. The charging/refres-
hing process starts for each charging circuit separately as soon as one or several
cells are inserted. Please pay attention to the correct polarity (the positive pole
of the cells must point towards the LED indicators). A certain amount of heating
of the rechargeable cells during charging is normal. If required the unit starts
refreshing and switches over automatically to charging. As soon as the battery is
fully charged the unit switches over automatically to trickle charge. The cells can
remain in the charger always ready for use until they are needed. Under certain
circumstances the charger switches over again to refreshing during the charging
process. If the unit does not switch over to „Ready" (battery fully charged) within
24 hours, the cell is defective. It can no longer be regenerated and has to be
replaced.
