9. FUNCTIONS

a) Charge Programmes

The „Charge Manager 2016" provides a total of five programmes for processing the
rechargeable batteries:
• Charging („CHA" = „CHARGE")
• Discharge („DIS" = „DISCHARGE")
• Test („CHK" = „CHECK")
• Cycle („CYC" = „CYCLE")
• Revive („ALV" = „ALIVE")

b) Maintenance Charge

If the rechargeable battery is left in the charger and it is required, the maintenance
programme „TRICKLE" (display „TRI") is started automatically.

c) Energy Saving Mode

If all programmes are processed (display „RDY") and no button was pressed, the device
switches into energy saving mode after approx. one minute. The display is also switched
off in this.
Pressing a button, inserting another cell, possibly removing cells or starting the
maintenance charge will lead to leaving of the energy savings mode.
Automatic recognition of deep-discharged 9 V blocks is not included here, since this
is contradictory to maximum energy efficiency. If this situation occurs , the device
must be activated by „OK" button. After several seconds of „Auto-Refresh", the battery
is recognised and the programmes are available.

d) Memory-Backup

This charger has a memory backup; this means that programmes and the accumulated
capacity values of batteries are retained for up to one week without power supply.
Never change the battery when powered down! The charger no longer
assumes the valid data and there would be incorrect values and damage to the
new battery!
Continuous and programmes is only possible if the installed buffer memory
was loaded. For this, the charger must be connected to the voltage supply for
at least two hours.
