The LAS 1218-2 battery charger is for charging suitable batteries during
230V operation or supplying 12V consumers without connected battery with
power.
The device is a primary controlled switch-mode power supply unit. This mo-
dern switching technology achieves high charging performance at a compact
size and low weight.
The battery charger can be used:
F as a battery charger for charging the living area battery and for re-
charging a connected starter battery
F as an additional charger for charging the living area batteries having a
higher capacity which match every Schaudt electroblock with a type
LAS charger module
F as a power supply unit (up to 18 A) for the 12V consumers connected.
No battery is required here.
1.3 Operation
1.3.1 Controls and indicator lamps
The device has no controls which need to be used on a day-to-day basis.
The battery selector switch need only be set correctly on initial use and for a
change of battery.
Y DANGER!
Risk of explosion!
F An incorrect battery selector switch setting poses a risk of explosion
due to the formation of electrolytic gases.
Y ATTENTION!
F An incorrectly set battery selector switch damages the living area bat-
tery.
F Disconnect the battery charger from the mains before adjusting the
battery selector switch.
³Batteries may only be replaced by qualified personnel.
³Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
³Charging unsuitable types of battery may damage them beyond repair.
It is possible to swap lead acid batteries for lead gel batteries.
Given the lack of ventilation options within the vehicle, changing from lead
gel to lead acid batteries is not possible without additional overhead.
Ask your dealer for advice.
The switching option provided by the battery selector switch ensures opti-
mum charging of the two battery types, lead gel and lead acid. The switch
must be set to the correct battery type -- lead acid or lead gel.

Date: 06.11.2014
810.523 BA / EN
Use a thin object (e.-g.- a ballpoint pen cartridge) to move the battery selec-
tor switch.
Y Suitability must be checked on a case-by-case using specifications from
the battery supplier and the charging parameters of Schaudt equipment.
The charging parameters are specified in the operating and installation
instructions.
³Setting lead gel battery: Set the battery selector switch to ”Lead-gel”.
³Setting lead acid battery: Set the battery selector switch to ”Lead-acid”.
³If the battery charger is used to supply 12V consumers without connec-
ted battery with power, the battery selector switch must be set to ”Lead-
acid”.
The indicator lamps on the front of the battery charger show the current
charging phase.
This indicator lamp lights up yellow in the ”Hauptladen” (Main charge) phase.
This indicator lamp lights up yellow in the ”Vollladen” (Full charge) phase.
This indicator lamp lights up green in the ”Erhaltungsladen” (Trickle charge)
phase.
Y If the batteries are totally discharged, indicator lamp ”Erhaltungsladen”
(Trickle charge) or ”Volladen” (Full charge) may light up for a while before
the main charging phase begins.
1.3.2 System faults
A fault in the power supply system is usually caused by a blown fuse.
Please contact our customer service department if you are unable to rectify
the fault using the following table.
If this is not possible, e.g. if you are abroad, you can have the battery char-
ger repaired at a specialist workshop. Please note that the warranty beco-
mes void if incorrect repair work is carried out. Schaudt GmbH cannot ac-
cept liability for any damages resulting from such repairs.

The connector cable (Pos. 2 or 3) is required to connect the LAS 1218-2
battery charger to the electroblock.
An additional fuse is not required as there is already one integrated in the
electroblock. You only have to check if the fuse is fitted and if it complies
with the fuse rating on the label.
The battery charger is connected to the electroblock with a 2-pin charger ca-
ble. Other lengths are available on request.
A connection to the starter battery is not required, because the electroblock
already has the start battery recharge module.

2.3.2 Mains connection
Y DANGER!
230V mains voltage carrying parts.
Danger of death due to electric shock or fire:
F Only carry out electrical work once the 230V supply has been discon-
nected.
³The mains must be connected as follows:
F to a insulated distribution unit with protective contact
F to a socket with protective contact (isolated ground or suitable plug
connector from WAGO
®
, depending on LAS 1218-2 variant).
The power cord must be of type H05VV-F 3x1.5.
³The mains cable must have a strain relief where required.
2.4 Initial use
2.4.1 Checks prior to initial use
³Ensure that the batteries are connected properly (only for initial use, ope-
ration without battery is possible in general).
2.4.2 Setting battery type
³Establish battery type.
Y DANGER!
Incorrect setting of the battery selector switch.
Risk of explosion from build-up of electrolytic gas, defective battery, defec-
tive battery charger or as a result of too high a battery operating tempera-
ture (above 30 °C):
F Move the battery selector switch to the correct position.
F The battery charger is to be used solely for connecting to the 12V
power supply with rechargeable 6-cell lead-gel or lead-acid batteries.
Do not use any unsuitable battery types.
³Store batteries in a place with adequate ventilation (or provide integrated
ventilation). Follow the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

³Move the battery selector switch (see Fig. 8) into the correct position
using a thin object, such as a ballpoint pen:
F Lead gel battery: Move the battery selector switch to ”Lead-gel”.
F Lead acid battery: Set the battery selector switch to ”Lead-acid”.
³Re-check that the battery selector switch is set correctly for the type of
battery used.
Y Suitability must be checked on a case-by-case using specifications from
the battery supplier and the charging parameters of Schaudt equipment.
The charging parameters are specified in the operating and installation
instructions.
2.4.3 Starting up the system
³Ensure that the battery is connected correctly (or all if more than one is
available).
³230V mains supply must be connected to vehicle.
³Power on the electrical system of the vehicle (e.g. power on 12V main
switch on the switch panel, see instruction manual for switch panel con-
nected).
³230-V- mains cable of the LAS 1218-2 charger must be connected (the
charger does not have its own mains switch).
³Check whether the batteries are being charged (display on the battery
charger).

Fig. 9 Example of the charge voltage behaviour with the LAS 1218-2 battery charger
I Main charge with maximum 18 A charging current, electronically limi-
ted, up to final charging voltage. Start of charge also for totally dischar-
ged batteries.
Uo Automatic changeover to full charge with constant 14.3 V. The duration
of the full charge phase depends on the type of battery and is configu-
red on the device: Lead-acid batteries, 4 hour, lead-gel batteries, 16
hours.
U Automatic changeover to trickle charge with constant 13.8V. In the
trickle charge phase, the voltage at the output of the charging module
is constant. The battery is now fully, or virtually fully, charged.
Start of a new charging cycle by switching over to main charge, if the battery
voltage falls below 13.8 V for more than 5 seconds when loaded. Start of
charge also for totally discharged batteries.
For mains operation, the starter battery is also charged (with maximum
charge current of 3A). The final charge voltage is 14.1 V.
Output current 18 A, connection of a battery not required
Output voltage 14.3V/13.8V,
suitable for 12V consumers, smoothed DC voltage
