Automatic charger AL 600 compact
Before using the device, please consider the instructions in this manual.
It is required by law that we give you important instructions for your own safety and make you
aware of how you can avoid damage to people, the device and other facilities.
If this manual is not taken into consideration, the manufacturer is not liable for any damage that
results from negligence or deliberate disregard of the manual.
Danger during charger operation
The charger is produced according to the state of the art and approved safety-related regulations.
However, in case of maloperation or misuse, there is the threat to
-physical condition and life of the user or third parties,
-the charger and equipment of the operator.
Every person who deals with the set-up, operation, maintenance and Servicing of the charger, must
be either accordingly qualified, acquire or have knowledge in handling chargers and consider this
manual in detail.
Errors affecting safety must be avoided and if necessary fixed immediately.
To ensure safe operation, the operator must consider the safety instructions and warnings included
in the manual.
Intended use
The device is designed for automatic charge and buffering of lead batteries with 2, 6 or 12V
terminal tension. A sliding switch carries out the set-up of the battery voltage.
Possible battery types are lead-gel, lead-fleece or lead-acid-batteries.
Primary batteries (zinc-carbon, alkaline, etc.) or other battery types must not be plugged in or
charged.
Another mode of operation other than the one specified is not allowed and results in the damage of
the product.
In addition, this is linked with dangers, such as short-circuit, firing, electric shock etc.
Specifications
The I-U-charging concept charges the lead-battery with constant current of 600 mA (0,6A) until the
end of charge voltage is reached for the respective battery.
The charger recognises this and switches to constant current in order to adjust the charging current
down (Maintenance charger). The battery charger is therefore maintained at an ideal level.
As a result, the battery can be plugged into the charger for a longer period of time. This is the
reason why this device is suitable for “over wintering”. The luminous display on the charger always
gives information on the current operating status.
The plug charger is protected against overcharge and short-term short-circuit (<1min.). The polarity
on the charging output must be taken into consideration. A protective circuit avoids charging in case
of incorrect poling that could destroy the battery as well as the charger. Incorrect poling will be
indicated by a red light. The connection is carried out by marked battery terminal clamps. By means
of safety switching the charging clamps conduct no electric charge as long as they are not connected
to a battery. It is therefore not possible to measure the current on the open charging clamps.
