3.2.0. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If the operation voltage is connected and the charging station is switched
on, a self test will automatically start.
After switching on the charger, all of the LEDs will light up and then a signal
will sound. When all of the LEDs go off, the charging station is ready to use.
Now batteries can be inserted for charging.
NOTICE
HS-Technik offers updates for the charging station for
download in the course of further development.
The operator is obligated to keep the charging station
rmware up-to-date. HS-Technik does not assume any
liability for defective batteries if the charging station is not

When replacing batteries, make sure the new battery is not inserted until the
LEDs have gone out (red or green).
If a battery is replaced very quickly, the electronics may retain the status of
the previous battery pack.
3.2.0. CHARGING PROCESS
Via an initialization routine, the voltage, temperature, short circuits and
reverse polarity of the inserted battery are checked.
Prior to starting the charging process, the temperature contacts (NTC
contact, etc.) are checked. If the temperature contacts are OK, the battery
will be charged.
If the battery is too hot, it can stay in the charging station, and when it
has cooled down, it will automatically charge.
If the red LED lights up, the charging process will start using the
special HST frequency modulation impulse process®and charge the
battery based on how depleted the battery is.
During the charging process, the voltage and temperature of the cells and
the remaining charging time are continuously monitored.
Taking all of the parameters into account, the charging current and
remaining charging time varies on a case-by-case basis. The installed fans
switch on automatically, as needed during each charging process.
Every charging process is recorded on a memory chip for subsequent
evaluation.

3.2.0. EXPLANATION OF THE LED SIGNALS / FUNCTIONS
When the charging station is not in use, it switches to
sleep mode. In order to be able to charge a battery,
the station must be activated by pressing the "wake up"
button. This is located on the lower left of the front side.
If the button is lit green, the charging station is switched on
and batteries can be charged. If the button is pressed for longer than 10
seconds, the charging station switches to sleep mode.
Continuously lit red:
Battery is charging
Continuously lit green:
Battery is fully charged
Blinking blue:
Temperature is too high or too low to charge.
If the temperature of the battery is below
10° C, the LED will blink blue and the
charging station will only charge the
battery with 500 mA up to a temperature of 10° C has been reached. From
then on, the station will charge the battery normally. The same applies
when the temperature of the battery exceeds 55° C; the battery will also
be charged with 500 mA until the temperature of the battery drops below
55° C.
Blinking red/blue:
The charging station cannot
nd a temperature contact.
In most cases, the battery contact
is defective or damaged.
Blinking red:
The battery is defective. The charging
station cannot nd a measurable
voltage.
Blinking yellow:
The battery voltage is too high or too
low for the battery type. This battery
cannot be charged.

3.2.1. SLEEP FUNCTION
The sleep function denes the time after which the charging station or the
boards switches to sleep mode when it is not charging batteries. The time
can be set freely up to 18:12:15 hours via the software. The charging station
can be woken up from sleep mode by pressing the wake up button on the
front or by pulling on a battery.
Each board goes into sleep mode seperately after the set time if it is not in
use. If the last board goes in sleep mode the power supply will shut off.
3.3.0. SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND SPECIAL FEATURES
The battery is charged using the HST frequency modulation impulse
charging process®until a charging parameter is reached, then the charger
switches to charge retention mode.
A microprocessor monitors and controls every charging box and
only supplies the battery with as much energy as it can effectively
absorb (dialog between the battery and charging station).
This results in low heat development and faster and better
storage of the capacity. This special charging technology ensures
the charging process is always extremely gentle on the battery and
guarantees a very long service life of the battery. Furthermore, this dynamic
charging technology automatically regenerates older batteries (that were
charged with other chargers) with reduced capacity, so these
batteries can continue to be used.
No "memory effect" for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries, due to the
special charging technology, the residual energy in the cells is
shifted which prevents accumulation or crystallization of the electrolytes.
Every time the battery is charged, the cells are reformatted and the
electromechanical balance is rearranged. Thus, the voltage curve when
discharging is signicantly higher than with other comparable charging
processes. (More energy in the form of joules can be discharged).
NOTICE
Prior to use, always check that the mounted
battery adapter is compatible with the battery you
wish to charge.
Im Martelacker 12 – D-79588 Efringen-Kirchen – Phone 0 76 28 - 91 11- 0 – Fax 0 76 28 - 91 11-90
- 20 -
Higher capacity at lower currents.
The charging boxes are completely short-circuit-proof and protected
against reverse polarity so the batteries will not be destroyed. If the polarity
is reversed or there is a shirt-circuit, the charging box is disconnected from
the power supply and a signal will sound, accompanied by a red blinking
LED.
(The highest level of safety is thus ensured.)
The fans are controlled based on need and cool the batteries quickly, even
under extreme stress.
Absolute protection against overloading via voltage monitoring and
voltage gradient evaluation a well as Delta U, charging time limitation and
dynamic temperature evaluation.
Automatic dynamic evaluation of the temperature contacts depending on
the adapter type.
NOTICE
Only for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries.
