Standard Charging Programs
•
12V STD:
Charging program for lead acid batteries (wet, Ca/Ca, EFB
batteries) and gel batteries. When the charger is used for the first
time, 12V STD will appear in the display.
•
12V AGM:
Charging program for AGM batteries Press the “Mode” button –>
switch from the 12V STD to the 12V AGM charging program.
Special Charging Programs
•
Winter:
The recommended charging program for cold weather
conditions (ambient temperature of -20°C to +5°C) for
normal lead acid batteries (wet / Ca/Ca batteries) Press the
“Mode” button –> switch from the 12V AGM to the “Winter”
charging program.
•
12V M - Maintenance Mode:
Charging program for batteries with a low capacity (max. 1A)
2 - 32Ah and for trickle charging of all batteries. Press the “Mode”
button –> switch from the “Winter” to the “12 M” charging
program.
•
RECOND - Restoration Charging:
Charging program with higher end-of-charge voltage and constant
current charging, used only for restoring the charging capability
of lead acid batteries (not for AGM or GEL) which have undergone
exhaustive discharge. Only use this program for a short time and
under supervision.
The RECOND process must be checked every half an hour and
must never exceed a time of 4 hours. Refer to the instructions
supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Only use the RECOND program for lead acid batteries and only
as described below. Take care to avoid spilling any battery
acid. Battery acid is aggressive. Read and observe the safety
information.
Never use for a battery which is of sealed design (VRLA battery
such as, e.g. AGM or GEL battery). Refer to the instructions
supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Only use for batteries which are free-standing and have been
taken out of the car, not while installed in your car with a
connection to the car’s electrical system. The higher charging
voltage could damage the electrical system.
Note:
To go to this program, the “Mode” button must be pressed
for 5 seconds.

12V STD:
Charging a 12V battery (lead acid battery and GEL
battery.
12V AGM:
Charging a 12V AGM battery.
Winter:
Charging a 12V battery (lead acid battery, AGM battery
and GEL battery) in winter mode with an ambient temperature of
-20
°
C to +5
°
C.
12V M - Maintenance Mode:
Charging a 12V battery (lead
acid battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) in charge maintenance
mode.
Charging Volts:
Charging voltage in volts, faulty battery (BAt)
/ fully charged (FUL) / connected with reverse polarity or short-
circuit at the clamps (Err).
RECOND - Restoration Charging:
Restoration of the charging
capability of discharged lead acid batteries with higher charging
voltage.
Warning - Fault Indictor:
•
If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.5V or more than 15V.
The battery is either unsuitable for charging or is defective. It is
also possible that other battery errors or faults can mean that the
battery cannot be charged.
•
If the terminal clamps are connected to the battery terminals
with the wrong polarity. The protection against swapped poles
ensures that the battery and charger do not get damaged. Remove
the charger from the battery and start the charging process from
the beginning again.
•
If there is a short-circuit between the two terminal clamps (the
metal parts of the clamps come into contact with each other).
The protection against short-circuits ensures that the battery and
charger do not get damaged.
SUPPLY:
Power supply - when charging a battery. Enables the
battery charger to be used as a buffer power supply as well, e.g.
while changing a battery or for the operation of 12V d.c. devices
(function output max. 3A).
Charge Status:
Charge status of the battery in percent (1
increment = 25%) and charging process (increment lit = the
battery has reached the charge level shown; increment in the
battery symbol flashes = the battery is being charged to the next
charge level; all increments are lit = the battery is fully charged).
WARNING!
DO NOT CHARGE ANY FROZEN BATTERIES.
