DISCONNECTING:
SELECT CHARGING MODE:
• Before starting the charging or discharging procedure on a permanently
installed battery in a vehicle, first disconnect the minus pole connecting
cable (black) of the vehicle from the minus pole of the battery. The
minus pole of the battery is usually connected to the car body.
• Then disconnect the plus pole connecting cable (red) of the vehicle
from the plus pole of the battery.
• First attach the “+“ quick-release clamp (red) of the battery charger to
the “+“ terminal of the battery.
• Attach the “–“ quick-release clamp (black) of the battery charger to the
“–“ terminal of the battery.
• Connect the mains lead of the battery charger to an electrical power
outlet socket.
You can select different charging modes for charging different batteries at
different ambient temperatures. In comparison with conventional battery
charging stations, this appliance has a special function for reusing an
empty battery or rechargeable battery. You can recharge an empty battery
/ rechargeable battery. Safe charging is ensured by means of a protection
function against incorrect connection and short circuiting. Due to the
installed electronics, the charging station does not begin operation directly
after connecting the battery, but only starts after a charging mode has been
selected.
This avoids sparking, which often occurs when connecting. The battery
charger is controlled by an internal MCU (Micro-Computer Unit).
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Detach the “–“ quick-release clamp (black) from the “–“ terminal of
the battery.
• Detach the “+“ quick-release clamp (red) from the “+“ terminal of
the battery.
• Reconnect the plus pole connecting cable of the vehicle to the plus
pole of the battery.
• Reconnect the minus pole connecting cable of the vehicle to the
minus pole of the battery.
