Charging programs
The charger has four charging programs:
• Motorcycle charging program 7:
Suitable for 12V batteries with a rated capacity of 1.2Ah to 14Ah. The battery
is charged with a limited charging current of 0.8A.
• Car charging program 8:
Designed for normal 12V car batteries with a rated capacity of 14Ah to
120Ah. The battery is charged with an elevated charging current of 3.8A.
• Cold charging program 9:
This charging program is suitable for charging normal 12V car batteries
with a rated capacity of 14Ah to 120Ah at low temperatures below 32°F
(0°C). The battery is charged with an elevated charging voltage and a high
charging current of 3.8A.
• 6V charging program 10 :
Special program for charging 6V batteries with a rated capacity of 1.2Ah to
14Ah. The adapted charging current amounts to 0.8A.
Depending on the battery's charge level, the charger will ad-
just the charging currents. The specified maximum charging
current will only be used to charge the battery during the
main charging phase. Just before the maximum charge is
reached, the charger operates with lower charging current.
This ensures that the battery is charged gently and effectively
up to the full capacity.
Special functions
Reactivating deep discharged 2 V batteries
Impulse charging pre-charges deep discharged 12V batteries to 10.5V. If a bat-
tery voltage of 10.5V has been reached, the battery will be charged up to full
capacity via the respectively selected charging program.
During reactivation, the charger will operate with reduced charging current
alternating between 0.07A and 0.8A.

Fault protection function
If the charger detects a short circuit, contact interruption or incorrect polarity
while charging, the charger will automatically end the charging program and
switch to standby mode 14 (see fig. C).
Protection against overheating
If the temperature of the heat sink inside the charger increases to 212°F
(100°C), the charger will reduce the charging current until the heat sink has
cooled down to normal operating temperature.
Trickle charge
Once the battery is fully charged, the charger will automatically switch to trickle
charge. At the same time, the charging process will be interrupted depending
on the voltage measured or the full charge of the battery will be maintained
with low charging currents of 0.07A and 0.8A.
• The battery can be continuously connected to the charger
without this resulting in damage or loss of battery power.
• The trickle charge can be used to maintain a battery.

WARNING!
Danger of explosion!
In general, the negative pole (-) of the car battery is connected
with the chassis. But there are also exceptions. When connect-
ing the battery terminal clamps, reversing the poles may result
in a short-circuit, sparks and an explosion.
− Check which of the battery poles (+ or -) in the vehicle is
directly connected to the chassis. This determines the or-
der for safely attaching the battery terminal clamps.
1. Check which battery pole (+ or -) is not directly connected to the chassis. If
this concerns
• the positive pole (+) of the battery, connect the red battery terminal
clamp (+) 4to the positive pole (+) of the battery.
• the negative pole (-) of the battery, connect the black battery terminal
clamp (-) 5to the negative pole (-) of the battery.
2. To connect to the vehicle chassis, connect the free battery terminal clamp
to a screw or bare metal as far away from the battery and the petrol line as
possible.
3. Connect the charger to the grid via the mains cord 2.
As soon as the charger is connected to the grid, the following will appear on
the display 1
• the standby mode 14 indication
• the empty battery symbol for the charge level indicator 11 and
• the current voltage measured for the battery 15 (see fig. D).
The green power supply indicator 12 will illuminate.
You have successfully connected the charger.
Starting the charging process
Automatic battery detection
The charger will automatically detect the type of battery connected.
• If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.8V or greater than 15V, the battery
is not suitable or defective. The display will show the measured voltage
of the battery for 3 seconds. Then the error message Err will appear. The
charger is in standby mode 14 (see fig.G).

− Disconnect the charger (see section “Disconnecting the charger”).
• If the charger measures a battery voltage between 3.8V and 7.3V, the char-
ger will detect a 6V battery.
− Start the 6V charging program by pushing the mode button 6.
• If the measured battery voltage is between 10.5V and 15V, the charger will
detect a 12V battery.
− Push the mode button and select from the motorcycle 7, car 8and
cold 9charging programs.
Reactivation of deep-discharged V batteries with pulse
charging
If the charger measures a battery voltage between 7.3V and 10.5V, this may
concern a full 6V battery or a deep discharged 12V battery.
− Push the mode button to start a charging program.
The charger will initiate an additional check measurement. The display will
alternate between two readouts during the measurement (see fig. H). The
measurement will take 1.5 minutes.
If after 1.5 minutes, the battery voltage measured is between 7.5V and
10.5V, the charger will recognize the battery as a 12 V battery and start the
motorcycle charging program 7with pulse charging to reactivate the
battery. The voltage indicator will blink.
Once the battery has reached a voltage of 10.5V, the charger will switch to
normal continuous trickle charge. The charging current now corresponds
to the selected 12V charging program. The voltage indicator will be shown
continuously.
Reactivation via pulse charging is the same for all 12V charging pro-
grams.
For this reason, they can, even if the battery voltage is still below
10.5 V, still switch to the car 8or cold 9charging programs de-
pending on the connected battery or the ambient temperatures.
Tap the mode button 6to do so.
If the battery voltage is still at 7.4V or 7.5V after 1.5 minutes, the battery is de-
fective. The charger will switch to standby mode 14 for reasons of safety.
− Disconnect the charger (see section “Disconnecting the charger”).
Charging process
If the correct charging program is selected and initiated, the display will show 1
• the symbol for the respective charging program ( 7, 8, 9or 10 ).
• the voltage indicator 15 (displays the current voltage for the battery).
