9. Operation

a) Operation

• Insert the low-voltage round connector of the power adapter into the round socket (1) on the
rear of the charger.
• Plug the power adapter into a standard mains socket.
• The backlight of the display is activated and all display segments appear briefly on the dis-
play. "null" is then displayed in the upper display area (8) for each of the four channels. The
charger is now ready for operation.
b) Available operating modes
The charger offers two different operating modes:
• "CHARGE" operating mode
The charger starts the charging process; after completing battery charging, the charger
switches to trickle charging automatically.
• "CHARGE TEST" operating mode
The charger tests the capacity of the battery by fully charging and then discharging the bat-
tery. A charging process takes place after a break of approx. 5 minutes.
Note that setting the charging current too high can lead to the battery not being fully
charged and to large deviations between the measured battery capacity and the ca-
pacity indicated on the battery. We recommend setting a charging current approx.
1/10 of the battery capacity (for a 2700 mAh battery, a charging current of 300 mA).
The discharging current in the "CHARGE TEST" operating mode is set automatically according
to the charging current:
Charging current 300 mA or 500 mA:
Charging current 700 mA or 1000 mA:
30
Discharging current 250 mA
Discharging current 500 mA
