ROBBE POWER PEAK PLUG &CHARGE Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

Introduction
Dear customer, congratulations on your choice of the
POWER PEAK PLUG & CHARGE automatic battery charg-
ing station from the robbe range. You now possess a high-
performance charger for your NiCd batteries with includes
battery management facilities.
This charging station is very easy to use, but nevertheless
operating a high-quality automatic charger such as the
POWER PEAK PLUG & CHARGE does call for some knowl-
edge on the part of the user.
These instructions are intended to help you become familiar
with the unit quickly.
To ensure that you are able to exploit the charger to the full,
please read right through these operating instructions very
carefully before you use your new automatic charging station
for the first time. We hope you enjoy using your POWER
PEAK PLUG & CHARGE, and we are confident that you will
have good results with it over a long period.
The POWER PEAK PLUG & CHARGE is a charger / dis-
charger designed for use with NC batteries consisting of 4 to
14 cells. The cell capacity should be within the range 0.5 to
2.0 Ah, which covers most types used in modelling.
The charge / discharge currents can either be set manually
within the range 0.5 to 5 A, or you can select the automatic
mode. In this mode the optimum charge / discharge current
is selected automatically to suit the battery connected to the
unit.
The essential charge parameters are displayed on a large,
clearly legible 2 x 16 character LCD screen.

The unit features a Delta Peak circuit which terminates the
charge process automatically when the battery is full. The
digital full detection circuit provides a reliable method of ter-
minating the process.
The unit is designed to be powered by a 12 V lead-acid
battery, but can also be used with a well stabilised 12 V
or 13.8 V mains power supply provided that it is power-
ful enough.
Caution: do not use a car battery charger to power the
unit.
