Notes on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor controlled au-
tomatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for
charging maintenance-free batteries and for the
long-term charging and maintenance-charging of
batteries which are not in constant use, e.g. for
classic cars, recreational vehicles, lawn tractors
and the like. The integrated microprocessor ena-
bles charging in several steps. The fi nal charging
step, maintenance charging, maintains the batte-
ry capacity at 95–100% and therefore keeps the
battery fully charged at all times. The charging
operation does not need to be monitored. How-
ever, do not leave the battery unattended if you
charge it over an extended period of time, so that
you can disconnect it from the mains power sup-
ply in the event of a fault in the charger.

not charge any frozen batteries.
D Charging of a 6V battery (lead acid battery,
AGM battery and GEL battery) with 2A char-
ging current.

F Clamps are wrongly connected (reverse pola-
rity) or there is a short-circuit
G Battery voltage display in volts
H Charge status of the battery in percent (1
increment = 25%) and charging procedure
(increment in the battery symbol fl ashes =
battery charging in progress; all increments
are lit = battery is fully charged).
6.2 Charging settings
Press the Mode button (Fig. 1/Item 1) to set
the charging functions 12V/2A (Fig. 2/Item A),
12V/10A (Fig. 2/Item B) and 12V/10A Winter
Mode (Fig. 2/Item C) (see section 6.1).
6.3 Charging the battery:
•
Release or remove the battery stoppers (if
fitted) from the battery.
•
Check the acid level in the battery. If neces-
sary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important. Battery acid is aggres-
sive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly
with lots of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
•
First connect the red charging cable to the
positive pole of the battery.
•
Then connect the black charging cable to the
bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery
and the petrol pipe.
•
Warning! Under normal circumstances the
negative battery pole is connected to the
bodywork and you proceed. In exceptional
cases it is possible that the positive battery
pole is connected to the bodywork (positive
earthing). In this case connect the black
charging cable to the negative pole on the
battery. Then connect the red charging cable
at a point away from the battery and the petrol
pipe.
•
After the battery has been connected to the
charger, you can connect the charger to a so-
cket supplying 230 V ~ 50 Hz. The equipment
automatically recognizes the rated voltage
(6V or 12V) of the connected battery. The
LED display lights up green. Do not connect
it to a socket that supplies any other mains
voltage. Important! Charging may create
dangerous explosive gas and therefore you
should avoid spark formation and naked fla-
mes whilst the battery is charging. There is a
