Safety
Safety instructions
WARNING!
► Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
This charger is suitable for indoor
use only.
This appliance may be used by chil-
dren aged 8 over and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, provided that they are
under supervision or have been told
how to use the appliance safely and
are aware of the potential risks. Chil-
dren must not use the appliance as a
plaything. Cleaning and user mainte-
nance tasks may not be carried out by
children unless they are supervised.
■ If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufac-
turer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
Additional safety instructions
■ Do not use the charger for charging
non-rechargeable batteries.
■ Do not use the charger for charging
lithium-ion batteries.
■ Place the removed battery in a well-
ventilated location during charging.
■ The automatic mode of opera-
tion and usage restrictions are
explained below in these operating
instructions.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
■ Do not operate the appliance with
a damaged cable, supply cord or
mains plug. A damaged power
cord causes danger to life by elec-
tric shock.
■ Before connecting to the power,
ensure that the power connection is
earthed, is 230 V ∼, 50 Hz, and is
16 A fused and equipped with an
RCCB switch (residual current circuit
breaker) in accordance with the
current regulations!
■ Disconnect the charger from the
grid, before you make or break
connections to the battery.
■ Always connect the positive
terminal clamp (red) first.
■ The negative terminal clamp
(black) must be connected to the
chassis at least 10 cm away from
the battery and the fuel line.
■ Now connect the charger to the
power supply.
■ After charging, disconnect the
charger from the grid. Only after
this remove the clamp from the
bodywork. Following this, remove
the clamp from the battery.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION
AND FIRE HAZARD!
■ Protect yourself from a highly explo-
sive hydrogen-oxygen reaction!
■ Ensure that during charge and
charge retention procedures, there
are no naked lights (flames, cinders
or sparks)!
■ Ensure that the plus cable does not
come into contact with fuel lines
(e.g. petrol pipe)!
■ Ensure that there is no possibility
of ignition of explosive or flam-
mable substances, such as petrol
orsolvents, while using charger!
■ Ensure that there is adequate
ventilation during charging.
DANGER OF CHEMICAL
BURNS!
■ Wear protective glasses! Wear
protective gloves! If eyes or skin has
come into contact with battery acid,
rinse the affected body region off
with a large amount of clean water
and consult a doctor straight away!
■ Avoid causing a short circuit when
connecting the charger to the
battery. Connect the negative pole
connector cable only to the nega-
tive battery or to the body work.
Connect the positive pole connector
cable only to the plus pole of the
battery!
■ Do not place the charger close to
fire, heat or to places with long-
term exposure to temperatures over
50°C!
■ Ensure that no fuel lines,electric
cables, hydraulic or water pipes
are damaged by the screws during
assembly of the charger!
■ Do not cover the charger with any
objects!
■ Protect the electrical contact
surfaces of the battery from short
circuiting!
■ Only use the charger for charging
and for charge retention of
6V/12V lead batteries.
Do not charge frozen batteries.

Operation
Before use
♦ Before connecting the charger, the operating
instructions must be observed.
♦ Furthermore, the instructions of the vehicle
manufacturer regarding a permanently
connected vehicle battery must be observed.
Secure the vehicle, switch off the ignition.
♦ Clean the battery poles. Take care that while
doing so, your eyes do not come into contact
with the dirt.
♦ Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Connecting
NOTE
► There are two options for connecting the
charger. Connect the negative terminal
connecting cable (black) either directly to
the negative terminal of the battery or to
the bodywork. Please also bear in mind the
vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
♦ Before starting the charging or trickle charging
procedure on a permanently installed battery in
a vehicle, first disconnect the negative terminal
connecting cable (black) of the vehicle from the
negative terminal of the battery. The negative
terminal of the battery is usually connected to
the vehicle’s coachwork.
♦ Connect the positive pole clamp (red) of the
charger to the positive pole of the battery.
♦ Connect the negative pole clamp (black)
to the negative pole of the battery or to the
bodywork.
♦ Connect the mains cable of the charger to
the mains socket.
♦ The battery voltage display shows the
current battery voltage.
♦ Should the connection of the clamps be
swapped, the LED „reverse connection“
lights up.
Disconnect
♦ Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply.
♦ Remove the negative pole clamp (black)
from the negative pole of the battery or from the
bodywork.
♦ Remove the positive pole clamp (red) from
the positive pole of the battery.
Measuring STANDBY/Battery
voltage
After connection to the grid, the appliance is on
STANDBY. The standby display lights up. When
the clamps are connected, the battery voltage
is shown in the LCD (voltage display ). The
segments of the condition display are empty.
If the voltage is below 3.8 V or above 15 V, the
battery will not be charged. The display briefly
shows the error message „Err“.
The appliance goes on standby.
6 V battery
If the voltage range of the battery is measured
as between 3.7–7.3 V, only program 1 can be
selected.
12 V batteries
If a battery is recognised in the critical voltage
range of between 7.3–10.5 V, the appliance
checks whether a fully charged 6 V battery, or a
discharged 12 V battery is present. After pressing
the program selection button to select a program,
the appliance carries out a control measurement
for about 90 sec.
The display shows:
If after about 90 sec. between 7.3–7.5 V are
detected, the 12 V battery is defective.
The appliance goes on standby.

ULGD 5.0 A1

Revitalising
If after about 90 sec. between 7.5–10.5 V are
detected, a 12 V battery is present.
Charging starts with a pulse charge for revitalising.
The voltage display flashes. Once 10.5 V
are reached, the appliance switches to the other
charge steps.
Revitalising is the same for all the 12 V charge
programmes.
Program selection
NOTE
► If a battery is detected in the voltage range of
between 3.7–7.3 V, the programmes 2–3–4
can not be selected. The charging process takes
place automatically. Depending on the selected
program, the characteristic charge curve is
monitored for voltage, time and temperature.
Included are the diagnostics program, revital-
ising mode and retention charge.

NOTE
► This program may start with a minute delay.
The symbol is displayed on the LCD.
During charging, the charge display
flashes and shows the progress of the charge
procedure (1–4 bars). When the battery is
fully charged, the condition display shows
4 bars. The flashing stops and the appliance
automatically switches to retention charge.
Retention charge
As described under programmes, this appliance
features the automatic retention charge. Depending
on the voltage drop of the battery, caused by
selfdischarge, the appliance reacts with different
charge currents.
The battery can remain connected to the charger
for longer periods of time.
Appliance protection function
The charger switches the electronics off and
switches the system instantly to the basic setting,
as soon as there is an abnormal situation, such as
short circuit, critical voltage drop during charging,
broken circuit or swapped connection of the
connector clamps is detected.
Should the appliance become too hot during
charging, the output current is automatically
reduced. This protects the appliance from damage.
Maintenance and care
WARNING! Before you carry out any
work on the battery charger always pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
The appliance is maintenance-free.
♦ Do not under any circumstances use solvents or
other aggressive cleaning agents.
♦ Clean the plastic surfaces of the device with a
dry cloth.
