Safety
Safety information
J Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
cable, power cord or plug.
mCaution! A damaged power cord causes
danger to life by electric shock.
J If damaged, have the power cord repaired by
authorised and trained technicians only!
J Do not allow toddlers or children near
the charging station without super-
vision! Children cannot assess the
potential danger in the handling of electrical
equipment.
J Children or persons who lack the knowledge or
experience to use the device or whose physical,
sensory or intellectual capacities are limited
must never be allowed to use the device without
supervision or instruction by a person responsible
for their safety.
J Explosion hazard! Protect yourself
from a highly explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction! Gaseous hydrogen
can leak from the battery during the charging
and discharging process. Oxyhydrogen gas is
an explosive mixture of gaseous hydrogen and
oxygen. The result is the so-called oxyhydrogen
reaction upon contact with open fire (flames,
embers or sparks)! Carry out the charging or
discharging procedure in a wellventilated room
protected from the weather. Make sure that there
are no sources of open fire (flames, embers or
sparks) in the vicinity when charging or discharg-
ing batteries!
J Danger of explosion and fire! Make
sure that explosive and flammable
substances e.g. petrol or solvents
can be ignited when using the charging station!
mDanger of chemical burns! Protect your eyes
and skin against chemical burns caused by acid
(sulphuric acid) upon contact with the battery!
Do not look directly at the connected battery.
JWear protective goggles!
Wear protective gloves!
If your eyes or skin come into contact with sul-
phuric acid, rinse the affected part of the body
with plenty of clear running water and seek
immediate medical assistance!
J Protect yourself from an electric
shock! When connecting the charging
station, use a screwdriver and a
spanner with an insulated handle!
J Do not use the charging station for charging or
trickle-charging a damaged or frozen battery!
J Before connecting to the mains, make sure that
the mains current is equipped with standard
230V~50Hz, PEN conductor, a 16A fuse and
a residual-current circuit-breaker!
J Only touch the pole connecting cables (“–” and
“+”) in the insulated area!
J Only carry out the assembly, maintenance and
servicing of the charging station when it is dis-
connected from the power supply!
J Do not position the charging station near a fire or
subject it to heat or to long-term temperatures
exceeding 50°C! The output capacity of your
charging station is automatically reduces at high
temperatures.
JDo not cover the charger!
J Protect the electrical contacts of the battery
against short-circuiting!

Safety/Operation
J Do not place the charging station driectly on or
next to the battery!
J After completing the charging and floating charge
operation on a battery permanently installed in
the vehicle, first disconnect the cable of the
negative (minus) pole (black) of the charger
from the negative (minus) pole of the battery.
J In case of malfunction or damage, immediately
disconnect the charging station from the mains!
J Have the charging station repaired by authorised
and trained specialists only! Please contact the
service department for your country!
J Before connecting the charging station, read
the information on battery maintenance in the
operating instructions of the battery!
J Before connecting the charging station to a bat-
tery permanently installed in a vehicle, read the
information on electrical safety and maintenance
in the operating instuctions of the vehicle!
JDisconnect the charger from the mains current
and the battery when not in use!
Properties
This device is designed for the charging of a variety
of SLA batteries (sealed lead-acid batteries), which
are used in motorbikes and some other vehicles,
such as WET (with liquid electrolyte), GEL (with gel
electrolyte) or AGM batteries (with electrolyte-absorb-
ing mats). Their capacity ranges from 12V/1.2Ah
to 12V/20Ah.
A special design feature of the device permits the
battery to be re-charged to nearly 100% of its capacity.
Furthermore, a long-term connection of the battery
to the charging station can take place to keep the
battery in optimal condition when not in use, without
it being damaged in the process.
Operation
Connection
j Clamp the “+”-pole (red) Yof the charger to
the “+”-pole of the battery.
j Clamp the “–”-pole (black) Uof the charger
to the “–”-pole of the battery.
j Connect the power cable Tto the mains current.
Charging function
· The charging process starts up and the device
automatically recognises the voltage.
· If the battery voltage is ≤ 7.5±0.25V, the
device stops charging and the green LED light
“Charging” Wflashes. In this case, the battery
can no longer be charged.
· If the battery voltage is ≥7.5±0.25V, the device
starts the fast charge mode with an amperage of
0.75A±10% and the red LED light “Charging” W
lights up. If the battery has been fully charged
to 14.4±0.25V, the device switches over to
the fully charged mode. The green LED light
“Charging” Wlights up and the battery is now
charged with just a fraction of the amperage.
· If the battery is still in charging mode and the
device ascertains that the charge has gone down
to 13±0.25V, it returns to fast charge mode.
Subsequently the battery is charged with just a
fraction of the amperage until the charge has
been reduced to 13±0.25V. This prevents the
battery from being overcharged.
Protective function
· If the battery output has reversed the polarity
protection in the charging mode, the red LED
“Error” Elights up and the charger switches off.
· If the output terminal short-circuits, the charger
will not emit any power.
Disconnecting
j Disconnect the device from the mains current.
j Remove the “–”-pole (black) Uof the charger
from the “–”-pole of the battery.
j Remove the “+”-pole (red) Yof the charger
from the “+”-pole of the battery.
