Clean the battery poles to remove dust and corrosion residue. Only for open batteries: Remove the plugs of the battery cells. Check the liquid level in the cells, consult the ope- rating instructions of your battery for more information. Replenish only sucient distilled water to ensure that the minimum lling level is achieved. The liquid will expand during the charging process and the battery may overow. Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process. In the event of closed and maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer to the letter.

Make sure that the charger is not connected to the mains socket and that the charging cable is not con- nected to the battery charger. Always 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 battery. 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. Now plug the mains cable (position A in the overview) of the battery charger into the socket. The backlight of the display (position D in the overview) is activated. The display shows the battery voltage (position 1 in the overview). CAUTION If the error message „Er 1“ appears in the display, the charging cables are connected incorrectly. Remove the pole clamps from the battery poles and connect them correctly CAUTION To start the charging process, press the selection switch for the charging programme (position C in the overview) repeatedly until the charging programme you want is set. If no charging programme is set, the charging process will not start. The last charging programme set is saved and can be started the next time the charger is used by pressing the selection switch once. The charging programmes are switched through in the following order (see also Fig. 2 in the overview):

Once charging has started, the charging programme can no longer be changed. If you want to charge with a charging programme other than the one set, unplug the charger from the mains and disconnect the battery from the charger (see section 6.5). Wait approx. 30 seconds until the display is dark and then proceed according to section 6.4.1 and set the correct charging programme. Depending on the battery‘s state of charge, the unit adjusts the charging current to optimally charge the connected battery. Only during the main charging phase is charging carried out with the specied maximum charging current. Shortly before the full charging capacity is reached, a lower charging current is used. In this way, the battery is gently and optimally charged to full capacity (see also section 6.4.4) The animated battery symbol shown in the display (position 2 in the overview) indicates that the battery is being charged.14 12 Volt Car-Lithium Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 14 Ah to 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 4 A maximum Charge voltage: 14.4 V 12 Volt Car-AGM Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 14 Ah to 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 4 A maximum Charge voltage: 14.8 V 12 Volt Car-winter Charging programme for 12 V batteries, 14 Ah to 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 4 A maximum Charge voltage: 14.8 V 12 Volt car Charging programme for 12 V batteries, 14 Ah to 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 4 A maximum Charge voltage: 14.6 V 12 Volt Motorbike-winter Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximum Charge voltage 14.8 V 12 Volt Motorbike-AGM Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximum Charge voltage 14.8 V 12 Volt Motorbike-Lithium Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximum Charge voltage 14.4 V 6 Volt Mode Charging programme for 6 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximal Charge voltage 7.2 V 6 Volt Winter-Mode Charging programme for 6 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximum Charge voltage 7.4 V As soon as the battery is fully charged, the charger switches automatically over to battery maintenance charge mode. This is indicated appropriately on the display. 12 Volt Motorbike Charging programme for 12 V batteries from 1.2 Ah bis 120 Ah, temperatures above 0°C Charge current: 2 A maximal Charge voltage: 14.6 V

Error message in 6 V mode. The battery voltage is below 5.5 V, after a charging time of 5 hours the battery voltage is below 6 V. The battery is probably defective, have the battery checked. No battery connected, battery connected incorrectly, battery voltage does not match the charging programme set, overheating. Connect the battery correctly, select the appropriate charging programme, disconnect the charger from the battery, let it cool down. The automatic charging process for lead-acid batteries (wet AGM or gel batteries) follows a 9-stage characteristic curve in order to charge the battery gently and optimally, see Fig. 3. For lithium batteries, the charger uses a 7-step characteristic curve that is adapted to the characteristics of this battery type, see Fig. 4

6.5 REMOVING THE CHARGER

Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply. Disconnect the pole callipers from the battery, rst minus then plus. Allow the battery to cool down. Only for open batteries: Fill the cells with distilled water up to the level speci ed by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells with the stoppers. First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake of your safety. CAUTION

If used correctly, the device is maintenance-free. Clean the pole callipers every time the charging procedure is completed. Remove all splashed battery acid from the pole callipers to prevent corrosion. Clean the device carefully with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or chemical cleaning agents. Never submerge the device in liquids. Never allow liquid to ow over the device. Before storing the device, roll up the cables properly using the designated hook in order to prevent damages to the cables and device. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
