English
If the charger is being set for the first time a ‘2’ will appear in the display screen and the
green led located under ‘charge process’ will come on. This charging program is the
default factory setting.
Important
Under no circumstances must the charge program be set arbitrarily. This can lead
to irreparable damage of the battery and any devices which may be connected.
Since each battery type and –brand has its own charge requirements, the
mentioned charging programs are purely suggestions. Always check if the
recommended charging program matches the charging guides of your battery. See
page 38. If not, please contact your battery supplier for another suitable setting.
Used terms
On-board
There are users connected during the charging process. The charger will indirectly supply
the present consumers. When charging a (partially) empty battery, the current draw of
the consumers comes at the expense of the charge current for the battery.
Stand-alone:
The opposite of on-board use. There are no users present during the charging process.
After discharging, the battery is connected to the charger (or charger turned on) and
fullycharged. When the battery is going to be used again, the charger is disconnected or
turned off.
Heavy cyclic use
Heavy cyclic use means that the battery on a regular basis is discharged deeply (>30%)
and then recharged. Because more sulphation occurs, deeply, some batteries require a
different charging program.
Activating set-up mode
Make sure you know the correct charger settings before you begin with the
adjustment procedure (your application: on-board or stand-alone, which battery type
you have and if a temperature sensor is present).
Press and hold the ‘mode’ button and, at the same time, plug the mains cable into
the socket.
Keep the button pressed down until a dot lights up in the lower right corner of the
display screen.
Continue with the steps appropriate for the particular application (on-board page 18,
stand-alone page 19).
