USING THE CHARGER FOR THE FIRST TIME
•
Connect the crocodile clips to a 12 V lead-acid battery or a suitable mains PSU. Take
great care over correct polarity (red = positive / black = negative).
•
The screen initially displays “ROBBE PP FUN ID”, followed by “NO BATTERY”, if no
battery is connected.
•
Connect the charge lead to the OUTPUT sockets with correct polarity (red = positive
/ black = negative).
•
Connect the battery to be charged to the charge lead with correct polarity. The scre-
en displays the message “READY”: the charger is ready for use, and enters trickle
charge mode, i.e. the battery is charged at around 40 mA. The screen displays the bat-
tery voltage. The flashing letter ‘R’ at the right-hand edge of the screen is the status
indicator, which is now ‘Ready’.

WORKING DISPLAY
During a charge or discharge process this display keeps the user informed of all the
essential data. The data is spread over several screen displays; pressing the ‘SELECT’
button calls up the individual items of information. Our example shows the currently char-
ged-in capacity. The flashing status indicator at the right-hand end of the screen is now
showing ‘C’ (Charge).
