Charging The Battery; Selecting The Charging Voltage; Charging Procedure; Removing The Charger - APA 16496 Bedienungsanleitung

6.5 CHARGING THE BATTERY

Connect the quick-plug charging cable to the battery charger. Now connect the mains connection cable (Position 5
in the overview) of the battery charger to the power socket.
Caution: If the „ERROR" control lamp (Position 4 in the overview) lights up, the charging cables are incorrectly
connected, either no battery is recognised or the incorrect charge voltage has been set for your battery.
Remedy: Pull out the plug of the charger. Remove the pole callipers/eyes from the battery poles and connect
them correctly. Check the pole callipers/eyes for correct and firm seating. Set the appropriate charge voltage for
your battery.
As long as the „ERROR" control lamp is lit, the charging process will not be started.

6.5.1 SELECTING THE CHARGING VOLTAGE

In order to start the charging process, press the selection switch for charge voltage (Position 1 in the overview)
until the desired charge voltage has been selected and the „Error" control lamp is no longer lit. For 6 V – mode, the
control lamp 6 V will be lit (Position 2 in the overview) and for the 12 V – mode, the 12 V control lamp will be lit
(Position 3 in the overview).

6.5.2 CHARGING PROCEDURE

The charging procedure is now shown by the flashing of the control lamps for charge voltage. When the battery
has been fully charged, the control lamp will light permanently. The charger then switches to maintenance mode.
In maintenance mode, the charger monitors the battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below a particular
value (depending on the type and state of the battery) the charger will start a charging procedure with a low
current until the voltage has again reached the intended value for a fully charged battery.

6.6 REMOVING THE CHARGER

Caution: First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This pre-
vents sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for
the sake of your safety. Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply. Separate the quick-plug
connection of the charging cable. Remove the pole callipers from the battery poles. Allow the battery
to cool down.
Only for open batteries: Fill the cells with distilled water up to the level specified by the battery manufacturer.
Close the battery cells with the stoppers.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

7.1 MAINTENANCE

The battery charger is maintenance-free when used in accordance with the intended purpose.

7.2 CARE

Clean the pole callipers every time the charging procedure is completed. Remove all splashed battery acid from
the pole callipers to prevent corrosion. Clean the device carefully with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or chemical
cleaning agents. Never submerge the device in liquid. Never allow liquid to flow over the device. Properly roll up
the cable before storing the device to prevent damage to the cables and the device. Store the device in a dry and
clean location.
