Pulse Charging; Appliance Protection Function; Overheating Protection; Maintenance And Upkeep - Bosch C3 Notice D'utilisation

Pulse charging

This is an automatic charger function which
cannot be selected manually. If the battery
voltage in 12 V mode is between 8 V (± 0.5 V)
and 10.5 V (± 0.5 V) at the start of charging,
the charger switches automatically to pulse
charging. On attaining a battery voltage above
10.5 V (± 0.5 V), the charger switches auto-
matically to the charging mode previously
selected. This enhances the charging process.

Appliance protection function

The charger switches to standby mode in the follow-
ing abnormal situations.
► Battery voltage < 6 V (12 V batteries)
► Open circuit
► Reverse polarity
In the event of reverse polarity, the LED
will also light up. If no other setting is made,
the system remains in standby mode.
In the event of a short circuit at the charging cable,
fuse (4a) prevents damage to the device and the
electrical system. Check fuse (4a) if Mode selection
is not possible.

Overheating protection

If the unit becomes excessively hot during charging,
the output power is automatically reduced to avoid
damaging the unit.
