CHARGING THE BATTERY
It is now assumed that the charger has been properly set up.
Charging can only begin with a battery of the proper type,
capacity and voltage connected to the charger.
Off-charge display
With the charger in waiting mode, the display shows
information concerning the charger(top and bottom lines):
1. Charger type (
Battery v current
).
2. Last selected charging profile.
3. Software version.
4. Waiting indication.
5. Date and time of the charge.
6. Set up battery operating temperature.
Alternating battery temperature/capacity if the ‘manu’
capacity mode is selected.
Starting the charge
1.
If Autostart = On (default ON), the charge starts automa-
tically when the battery is connected to the charger. To
stop the charge, press the central button .
If Autostart = OFF the charge will start only if the central
button is pressed. To stop the charge, press the central
button .
The displays shows information relative to the connected
battery and counts down the time remaining until the
effective charge begins.

(*) as information is received.
As soon as the countdown time has elapsed, the display
shows the information relative to the charge.
To induce the start of the charge if the delayed charge has
been programmed:
1. Connect the battery
2. Press the central button to stop the charger.
3. Press and hold the central button for 3 seconds.
Release.
Defaults
DF1, DF2, DF3
and
TH
inhibit the charge. Refer to
section
Fault codes.
End of charge without equalisation
1. The backlight of the screen becomes green at the end of
a correct charge.
And the indication
AVAIL
is displayed. Possible
alternating display between DF5 default and pump
default and DF4 (ref.1). The displays shows alternately:
(ref. 2):
• charging time achieved.
• number of Ah restored.
Refer to sections
Memorisations or Status for detailed
information relevant to the end of charge.
If the battery remains connected, and in order to
maintain it in a fully charged condition, refresh charges
followed by equalisation charges will be automatically
initiated according to the battery technology.
2. If an equalisation charge has been programmed (vented
battery), it will start automatically.
Alternatively, an
equalisation charge can be triggered manually; go to
section
End of charge with equalisation.
3. Press the central button or disconnect the battery that is
now ready for use.
End of charge with equalisation
Equalisation only applies to vented batteries. Start can be
manual or automatic.
Manual start
1. At the end of charge (green lighted display on), press
the key .
The start of the equalisation charge is indicated by the
message
EQUAL
. During the equalisation charge, the
charger displays the current (ref 4) and alternating, the
battery voltage, voltage per cell, remaining time (ref 2).
2. The battery will be available as soon as the screen
becomes green.
Automatic start
If the equalisation charge has been programmed
(
Configuration/Equalisation menu), the equalisation charge
is initiated automatically.
If the battery remains connected, and in order to maintain it
in a fully charged condition, refresh charges followed by an
equalisation charge will be automatically initiated according
to the battery technology. Similar indications to those
displayed in manual start (see above) are displayed.
