3. Placement into service ____________________________________________
3.1. Operation
Left red LED (light-emitting diode)
If the device has been connected to the mains power supply, the left LED lights up red.
The battery charger is operating properly.
If there is a fault, the left LED blinks red. This indicates a malfunction of the battery charger
– continuing the charging operation is not possible! A new battery or one that has not
beenusedforalengthyperiodonlyprovidesitsmaximumoutputafterapprox.ve
charge and discharge cycles.
Only use the charger station in dry rooms.
All ventilation slits must be unobstructed. Place the device as far away as possible from
exposure to heat and solar energy, as an ambient temperature of more than 35° C
can lead to substantially longer charging times.
!
Priortoconnectingthedevice,thespecicationsonthetypeplateconcerning
line voltage, frequency and current consumption must be observed. Once the
mains power cable has been inserted in the power socket, the charger station is
operationally ready. Nothing else needs to be switched on.
!
CAUTION!
Care must always be taken to ensure the correct polarity +/-.
CAUTION!
When charging two batteries consecutively, it is recommended to allow the
charger to cool down between charges.
There is no OEM concern with the charger remaining plugged and a fully
charged battery residing in the charger following full charge levels.
Ifthebatteryisfullychargedonthecharger,nochargingcurrentows;result,
the charging process has stopped.

3.2. Charging process
The inserted battery is checked for voltage, temperature, short circuits and reverse
polarity. Before beginning charging, the safety elements (bi-metallic or NTC) are checked
via the temperature contact. If the safety elements in good condition, the right LED
lights up green and the charging process starts with the special battery surge protection
(ADAS)® . What is special about this charging process is the detection of the state of
charge. By modifying the charging current, both the rise in the battery's internal pressure
and the rise in charging voltage are prevented.
Greenblinkinglamp(rightLED)
The battery is fully charged and the battery charger switches automatically to maintaining
charge.
Thanks to this charging process, the battery is treated sparingly and always kept
completely charged.
Thebatterycanremainforanindenitetimeperiodinthebatterychargerwithoutbeing
damaged.
Overcharging is impossible.
Red blinking lamp (right LED)
The safety elements are not OK or the battery is too hot or too cold.
In this case, the battery should be removed from the battery charger until it has reached
an appropriate temperature.
Red continuous light (right LED)
The battery is defective.

3.3. Charging times
The durations of the charging times are shown in the following table.
The charging time depends on the stage of discharge of the battery.
Battery type Nominal capacity (Ah) Max. charging time
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 1.4 35 min
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 1.7 40 min
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 2.0 50 min
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 2.4 70 min
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 2.6 65 min
Ni-MH/Li-Ion 3.0 75 min
WARNING!
If there is a fault in the battery charger, the left LED blinks red.
This signals a battery charger malfunction.
With new batteries or those that haven't been used for a longer time period, it
is possible that they do not attain their nominal capacity.
In this case the occurrence is not faulty but instead normal.
The full capacity is attained after approx. 5 charge/discharge cycles.
The battery charger monitors the temperature of the battery pack.
Therefore, batteries that have a temperature above 40°C or less than 5°C will
not be charged.
The battery charger was built to handle Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries.
Ni-MH batteries can generate more heat in their cells, which is in this case not
faulty but instead normal.
