The charger is started by connecting the battery pack to the charger and then

connecting the charger to the mains. The LED will be yellow before the fast
charge starts and the LED changes to orange. When the batteries are fully

charged and the voltage drops because of the -dV signal from the batteries, the

charger will go into a top-off charge mode before it goes over to trickle charge
mode. During top-off charge the LED will be green with a short intermittent

yellow light. When the top-off charge is completed, the charger will go into
trickle charge mode and the LED will be green. The charge current is now

reduced to a safe level, which allows the charger to stay connected to the NiCd

batteries without damaging the batteries. NiMH batteries are not as well suited
for trickle charge, and some battery manufacturers recommend that trickle

charge

does not exceed 24 hours. If in doubt; contact the battery manufacturer

for details. If the safety timer runs out before

–

dV is detected, the charger will

go directly to trickle charge mode (no top-off charge) and LED will be
continuously green. lf the battery voltage is far below normal, the charger will

cut the fast charge current and go to trickle charge mode. The LED will then

indicate

”error” by flickering green and orange light.

lf the mains input voltage

is turned off, the charger will reset. When the mains input voltage is turned on

again a new charge cycle will start. lf new batteries are to be connected, the
charger must idle for approx 15 sec. to make sure all parameters in the

microprocessor have been reset. When the charger has been reset the LED

changes to yellow, and a new charge cycle can begin.
