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 connected battery (6 V, 12 V or 24 V) the charger will recognise the battery capacity and the battery condition and calculate the required charging parameters (charging voltage, charging current). This allows for efficient and safe charging. When selecting a charging mode not suitable for the battery or if the battery is defective, the charging cycle still not start. The charger switches to error indicator.
After a mains failure the charger automatically restarts and returns to the previous charging mode.
The "trickle charge" function allows the charger to be permanently connected. A full charge will be maintained.

CHARGING PHASES

line
| Time | V | A | |------|------|------| | 1 | Low | Low | | 2 | Medium | Low | | 3457 | High | Low | | 6 | High | High |The concept of the charging process is explained based on a 12 V battery.
Step 1: Condition check
The charger checks the battery condition and calculates the required charging parameters.
Step 2: Precharging
The battery is gently charged with a low charging current to return the battery to a chargeable state.
Step 3: Soft start
The battery is gently charged with a low charging current.
Step 4: Base charge with a constant current
The battery is quickly and safely charged with a consistent current.
Step 5: Base charge with a constant voltage
The battery is charged at a constant charge end voltage until it is fully charged.
Step 6: Monitoring
Once the battery is fully charged, the charging process will stop.
Step 7: 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.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
To avoid damage to charger and battery, the charger will turn off its own electronic system and will immediately reset the system to basic settings in the case of
short circuit
wrong connection
open circuit
reversed polarity connection
Battery voltage below 3.0 V ±0.5 V
The charger will remain in standby mode and the display shows the error indicator.
During the charging process, if the charger becomes too hot or due to high ambient temperature, the power output is automatically reduced. The charger continues to trickle charge and automatically starts increasing power when the temperature drops.
TROUBLESHOOTING
