Functions The charger is equipped with a microprocessor (MCU - Micro Computer Unit) and features fully automatic charging-, diagnostic-, emergency- and maintenance functions. After selecting the battery type connected (12 V or 24 V) the battery charger will recognise the battery capacity and the battery condition and calculate the required charging pa- rameters (charging voltage, charging current). This allows for eicient and safe charging. If the wrong battery voltage is set or the battery is defective, it will not charge and the “Error” LED (18) will light up (also see “Troubleshooting”). The “trickle charge” function allows the charger to be permanently connected. A full charge will be maintained.www.aeg-automotive.com24 OPERATION Before use Warning!

Step 1: Condition check The charger checks the battery condition and calcu- lates the required charging parameters. Step 2: Desulphation (rescue)

The charger can rescue most drained batteries with voltages up to a minimum of 1.5 ±0.5 V.

The safety switch does not allow the charger to start charging if the voltage is below 1.5 ± 0.5 V.

At a voltage range of 1.5 ± 0.5 V to 10.5 ± 0.5 V the charger will initiate pulse charging.

If the voltage rises above 10.5 ± 0.5 V, the charger will switch to the previously selected regular charging mode, which will charge faster and more safely. Step 3: Precharging The battery is gently charged with a low charging current to return the battery to a chargeable state. Step 4: Soft start The battery is gently charged with a low charging current. Step 5: Base charge with a constant current The battery is quickly and safely charged with a consistent current. Step 6: Base charge with a constant voltage The battery is charged at a constant charge end voltage until it is fully charged. Step 7: Analysis Once the battery is fully charged, the charging process will stop. Step 8: Equalisation charge If the battery is fully charged and drops to 12.8V within 2 minutes, another charging process will begin automatically. Step 9: Maintenance charging The charger monitors the battery capacity. Once the battery falls below 12.8 V, the charger will emit a charging pulse. This maintains the battery’s highest possible charging level.English 27
