Functions

The charger is equipped with a micro-
processor (MCU - Micro Computer Unit)
and features fully automatic charging-,
diagnostic-, emergency- and mainte-
nance functions. After selecting the
connected battery (6 V, 12 V or 24 V)
the charger will recognise the battery
capacity and the battery condition and
calculate the required charging parame-
ters (charging voltage, charging current).
This allows for efficient and safe char-
ging. When selecting a charging mode
not suitable for the battery or if the
battery is defective, the charging cycle
still not start. The charger switches to
error indicator.
After a mains failure the charger au-
tomatically restarts and returns to the
previous charging mode.
The charger also has a cold weather
mode which allows charging in low
temperatures (e.g. in winter).
The "trickle charge" function allows the
charger to be permanently connected. A
full charge will be maintained.
The „Power Supply" function allows you
to keep powering electronic systems
in your vehicle, even if the battery is
disconnected from the vehicle.
