charging operations will be initiated automatically,
depending on the type of battery.
If the green light is flashing, the battery is in its resting
phase.
Wait until the light stops flashing.
2. Set the Start/Stop switch to “0”.
3. Disconnect the battery, which is now ready for use.
Completion of charging with equalisation
Equalisation only concerns vented lead/acid batteries.
It can be initiated either manually or automatically.
Manual initiation
1. As soon as charging is complete (the green light is
permanently lit or is flashing), press the
button.
The messages
EQUAL I
= (equalisation current) and
EQUAL H
= (remaining equalisation time) indicate
that equalisation has been initiated.
2. The battery is ready for use as soon as the green light
illuminates
.
Automatic initiation
If equalisation has been programmed, equalisation charging
is initiated automatically.
Furthermore, if the battery remains connected, in order
to keep it charged, maintenance charges (compensation
and subsequent equalisation charging operations) will be
initiated automatically, depending on the type of battery.
The same information as for manual initiation is displayed
(see above).
