③ Charge status bar. Gives a rough indication of the charging progress, see below :
LED 3a : 100% full (ready)
LED 3b : 80% full

LED 3d : empty
④ Power on, off, charger only switch.
Switch position
Description
“0”
Charger off
When the switch is in position “0”, it does not interrupt
any internal AC or DC sources. This means that there are
still lethal voltages present inside the charger! In position
“0”, the charger will still consume a small amount of AC
current.
“I”
Charger on in automatic charging mode
“II”
Charger on in forced float mode
In this mode, the output voltage of the charger is set
constantly to the float voltage (value is depending on
selected battery type) while being able to deliver full
rated output current. Since no automatic charging
programs are activated in this mode, it can be used for
constant voltage charging or operating the charger as a
battery buffered power supply.
4.2 Charging batteries
!
CAUTION
Before you start to charge batteries, read all enclosed safety instructions and warnings
while following all safety precautions about working with batteries.
The list below globally describes the steps to follow for charging batteries :
1. Push the charger switch in the “O” (Off) position and disconnect the AC supply to the
charger
2. If possible disconnect or switch off all loads from the battery
3. Connect the battery to the charger
4. Switch on the AC supply and activate the charger by pushing the charger switch in the
“I” (power on) position. After a two tone beep, the charger will start the charging proces.
5. After charging is completed, push the charger switch in position “O” and switch off the
AC supply again, before disconnecting the battery. Or, keep all connections and the
charger switch position untouched and just re-connect all battery loads.
