Technical Data

Operation

Starting Operation

Observe the mains voltage
The voltage of the power supply must correspond with the data given on the name-plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the battery 1 is inserted into the charging compartment 3.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage.

Note
The charging procedure is only possible when the bat-tery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range.

Meaning of the Indication Elements

Flashing Battery Charge Indicator 2

The charging procedure is signalled by a flashing battery charge indicator 2.

Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge Indicator 2

Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 2 indicates that the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not with in the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as the allowable charging temperature range is reached.When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 2 indicates that the mains plug is in-serted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.

Troubleshooting  Causes and Corrective  Measures

Working Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charg-er.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
