During the charging process the STATUS light will show the
state of the charge.
Red => Battery not connected
Orange => I,U phase (constant current, voltage)
Fast flashing orange => Ia (completion)
Green => Pause / Trickle charge
Flashing red => Error
The battery is fully charged when the STATUS light is green.
After the main charging the MultiPac will switch to maintenance
charging.
To avoid sparking always push the reset button before
disconnecting the battery.
If the charging cables are too long, you can wind to reel the extra
cables.
If there is a need for longer
cables, make sure you do not use cables with a smaller
diameter and always connect the sense cable when using
longer cables.
If the STATUS light shows a constant red light instead of
orange, the battery voltage is either too low or too high, or the
battery is not connected to the charger. Make sure the battery is
suitable for the charger and the voltage selection switches are
in the correct position and push the reset button on the side of
the charger.
Should the battery not be fully charged when MultiPac switches
to maintenance charging, the process will terminate and the
STATUS light will blink red. This may occur if the battery is
faulty or if the battery and the charger are incompatible (see
Section 2).
Do not cut the cables.
In addition to the safety measures in Section 3, the following
personal precautions should be taken whenever charging
batteries:
For emergency situations ensure in advance that help will be
available in time of need.
Batteries contain acid that is harmful to eyes, skin and clothes.
Always wear overalls and safety goggles. Never touch your
eyes with unwashed hands after handling batteries.
Ensure that a working, fresh water outlet is available. If acid gets
into your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush the area with
plenty of water for several minutes. If visible injury occurs,
contact a physician immediately. In the case of eye injuries,
always consult a physician.
The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas. Do
not smoke or otherwise bring burning or sparking matter to the
vicinity of the charger when it is operating.
If a short-circuit occurs, the battery may explode or the item
causing the short may melt. Keep the work area clear of tools
and debris. Remove jewelry, watches, etc. before working with
the battery.
