NOTE! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
Dangers from
mains current
and charging current
Dangers from acid, gases and vapours
Anyone working with chargers exposes themselves to numerous dangers e.g.:
- risk of electrocution from mains current and charging current
- hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of those using
cardiac pacemakers
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threatening. To avoid electric shocks while using the charger:
- do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the charger.
- under no circumstances touch the battery poles
- do not short-circuit the charger lead or charging terminals
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging,
gases and vapours are released that can harm health and are highly explosive
in certain circumstances.
- Only use the chargers in well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation
of explosive gases. Battery areas are not deemed to be hazardous areas
provided that a concentration of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced ventilation.
- Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between battery and
charger during the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition, such
as fire and naked lights, must be kept away from the battery
- The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnected for any reason during charging
- On no account inhale any of the gases and vapours released
- Make sure the area is well ventilated.
- To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on
the battery
6
- Battery acid must not get into the eyes, onto the skin or clothes. Wear protective goggles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes
thoroughly with clean water, and seek medical advice if necessary.
EN
General information regarding the
handling of batteries
Protecting yourself and others
- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
- Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a minimum at approx. +2 °C (35.6 °F).
- Every week, perform a visual inspection to ensure that the acid (electrolyte) level in the battery is at the Max. mark.
- If any of the following occurs, do not start the device (or stop immediately
if already in use) and have the battery checked by an authorised workshop:
- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells
caused by a possible fault.
- heating of the battery over 55 °C (131 °F).
While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of
the working area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger
from mains and charging current, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to
any harm in your absence.
Safety measures
in normal operation
- Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply
with a ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the
charger is operated on a mains supply without a ground conductor or in a
socket without a ground conductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising
from such usage.
- Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown
on the rating plate.
- Never operate the charger if there is any evidence of damage.
- Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician
to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
- Any safety devices and parts that are not functioning properly or are in imperfect condition must be repaired by a qualified technician before switching
on the charger.
- Never bypass or disable protection devices.
- After installation, an accessible mains plug is required.

EMC Device Classifications
Devices in emission class A:
- Are only designed for use in industrial settings
- Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
Devices in emission class B:
- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas.
This is also true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage mains.
EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.
EMC measures
Data protection
Maintenance and
repair
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values
for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the
device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operating company is obliged to take appropriate
action to rectify the situation.
The user is responsible for the safekeeping of any changes made to the factory settings. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any deleted personal
settings.
Under normal operating conditions, the device requires only a minimum of
care and maintenance. However, it is vital to observe some important points
to ensure it remains in a usable condition for many years.
- Before switching on, always check the mains plug and cable as well as
charger leads and charging terminals for any signs of damage.
- If the surface of the device housing is dirty, clean with a soft cloth and solvent-free cleaning agent only
Maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by authorised personnel. Use only original replacement and wearing parts (also applies to standard
parts). It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and
manufactured to meet the demands made on them, or that they satisfy safety
requirements.
Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc. to the device without the
manufacturer's consent.
Warranty and liability
8
The warranty period for the charger is 2 years from the date of invoice.
However, the manufacturer will not accept any liability if the damage was
caused by one or more of the following:
- Use of the charger "not in accordance with the intended purpose"
- Improper installation and operation
- Operating the charger with faulty protection devices
- Non-compliance with the operating instructions
- Unauthorised modifications to the charger

The charger detects that the battery is connected and starts charging. If start-up delay is
activated, then charging will start at the end of the set delay time. For more information,
see "Configuration mode" in the "Display" section.
During the charging process the display shows the following values:
- Current charging current (A)
- Current charging voltage (V)
- The charge already input (Ah)
- Battery temperature with the "temperature-controlled charging" option
- The time (hh:mm) since charging started
The battery symbol indicates the current state of charge. The greater the number of bars
that are displayed, the further advanced the charging process is. As soon as the battery is
fully charged, a minute counter will appear (see figure on right). This counts the minutes
since the end of charging; when a number of chargers are being used, this makes it easier
to decide which battery will have already cooled down most.
18
If, however, the standard display is still to be shown rather than the minute counter:
use the "Up/Down" keys to toggle between minute counter and
1
standard display

If the battery remains connected to the battery charging system for the duration of the
"equalize charge delay", then a special type of charging takes place. This prevents
acid stratification.
- OFF:
There is no equalising charge.
Delay:
Charge start delay:
Delay time (minutes) of actual start of charging relative to the moment when charge start
was initiated
Charge end delay:
Delay time (minutes) before charge end is signalled (e.g. green indicator) relative to the
moment when charging actually stopped
EN
At mains failure restart charging:
If this option is chosen, the charging process is restarted automatically as soon as the
mains supply becomes available again after a disruption to the electrical mains supply.
Calendar:
The calendar function allows charging to be started automatically according to the following criteria:
- Time window in which charging may not be started if a battery is connected
- Time window in which charging is to be started using a defined characteristic 1 if a battery is connected
- Time window in which charging is to be started using a defined characteristic 2 if a battery is connected
To activate the calendar function,
1
select the setting "ON" and confirm
Definition of characteristic 1:
- Type of battery
e.g. Pb-Wet
- Characteristic:
e.g. RI
- Additional settings, depending on the
characteristic:

27
Definition of characteristic 2:
- Characteristic:
e.g. RI
- Additional settings, depending on the
characteristic:
e.g. Charging time 7-8 h
Day Setting 1-3:
The day settings allow up to 3 different
charging start time profiles to be defined
with the following settings:
- Symbol for characteristic 1:
Time window in which charging is to be
started using characteristic 1 (e.g.
0:00-7:00)
- Stop:
Time window in which charging must
not take place (e.g. 7:00-16:00)
- Symbol for characteristic 2:
Time window in which charging is to be
started using characteristic 2 (e.g.
16:00-24:00)
NOTE! Ongoing charging operations are unaffected by the set time windows. If in
the example above a battery is connected at 06:45, the charge end time is governed according to need and is not interrupted by the end time specified for the
set time window (7:00 in the example).
If the battery is connected during the "stop" time window, charging is started automatically during the next time window.
If charging is started manually during the "stop" time window, charging will always
take place using characteristic 1.

Safety In order to connect optional components it may be necessary to open the housing. The fol-
lowing warning notices must be obeyed:
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. The housing may only be opened by
a service engineer who has been trained by the manufacturer. The device must
be disconnected from the mains before starting any work with the housing
opened. A suitable measuring instrument must be used to ensure that electricallycharged components (e.g. capacitors) are fully discharged. Use an easily legible
and understandable warning sign to ensure that the charger is not reconnected
to the mains supply before all the work has been completed.
WARNING! Work that is carried out improperly can cause serious injury or damage. All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried
out by qualified specialist technicians. If there are installation instructions or a
leaflet for the optional component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed.
Electrolyte circulation
The electrolyte circulation option features an air pump integrated in the battery charging
system. This introduces air into the battery through capillary tubes that are provided specifically for this purpose. This allows intensive mixing of the electrolyte to take place. The
benefit is reduced heating of the battery, and consequently longer battery-life, plus reduced
water loss during charging.
NOTE! Risk of damage to air pump from the ingress of electrolyte from the battery
or from operation without any back pressure. Always set up the battery charging
system at least 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.) above the battery to be charged. Always use
an undamaged, purpose-supplied connecting hose to connect the compressed
air outlet on the battery charging system to the battery.
If a pump fault or leaks in the connection with the battery result in a fault being detected,
then the status code "Statecode 14" will appear on the display. One way in which this fault
can be indicated is by using an external indicator lamp to show a common error.
The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the battery charging system's control system. A number of selection options are available for this purpose in the configuration menu.
More information can be found under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
The default preconfigured programs 1 to 5 are among these selection options. The relevant
parameters for these programs are listed in the table below together with a subsequent explanation.
38
Program ON 1 OFF 1 Repeat ON 2 OFF 2
1 30 min 25 min 1 x 5 min 25 min
2 3 min 10 min 4 x 3 min 20 min
3 3 min 12 min 1 x 3 min 12 min
4 5 min 10 min 3 x 5 min 20 min
5 2.5 min 7.5 min 1 x 2.5 min 7.5 min
In each of these programs, the solenoid valve opens for a time "ON 1" and closes for a time
"OFF 1". This process is repeated for the number of times specified under "Repeat". After
this number of repetitions has been completed, the process continues with the "ON 2" and
"OFF 2" times until charging is completed.
Cleaning the air filter insert
The air filter insert for the integrated air pump should be cleaned once a year. In dusty environments the cleaning interval should be shortened accordingly. The air filter insert (2)
must be removed for cleaning. Remove the air filter (1) by pulling it out and then refit it as
follows:

External start/
stop
(1)
The external start/stop option prevents sparking if the charging plug is disconnected during
charging. Dedicated auxiliary contacts inside the plug detect the removal of a shorting
jumper in the counterpart before the main contacts have even become separated. This triggers an immediate stop to charging. As a result there is no wear to the main contacts, and
this arrangement safeguards more effectively against an oxyhydrogen explosion.

Suitable signal lamps can be connected to the connections inside the device as illustrated
in order to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. Each signal lamp
must have a working voltage of 12 V, and the total current drawn by all the lamps must not
exceed 0.5 A. Connections (1) to (5) in the Figure are assigned as shown below. It is advisable to use the lamp colours shown below:
Connection Function Colour
(1) 12 V power supply
(2) Battery is fully charged green
(3) On: battery being charged
yellow
Flashing: charging has been interrupted
(4) An error has occurred (common error) red
(5) The battery has already cooled down and is ready for use blue
If the RGB setting (LED strip) is set in the menu, then connection 3 (YELLOW) is not supported. The normal setting (conventional signal lamp) or RGB (LED strip) for the "External
Lamp" function is explained under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
Temperature-controlled charging
The temperature-controlled charging option always adjusts the charging voltage according
to the current temperature of the battery. This results in considerably longer battery-life, especially where batteries are used in cold stores.
Relay board The optional relay board enables the charger's operating status and the connected bat-
tery's state of charge to be evaluated externally. One or more external consumers can also
be supplied with 230 V AC. A neutral conductor in the electrical mains supply is a prerequisite for this. The configuration of the relay board outputs is explained in the operating instructions for the battery charging system: "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
More information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied with the relay
board option.

the main charge phase finishes, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
The "Common error message" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance.
Each time an error is detected, the relevant relay picks up automatically.
Signal lamp As an alternative to the charging lights, one or more suitable lamps can be connected to
the relay board to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. These
lamps can be designed for a voltage of up to 30 V DC or up to 250 V AC on a starpointearthed network.

If the lamp circuit is potential-free, then the switching current must not exceed 4 A. A lamp
that is actuated by the 230 V supply relay must be operated with an output current of max.
1 A.
Immobiliser If the charger is built into the vehicle as an on-board device, then the optional immobiliser
will prevent the vehicle from being started unintentionally whilst charging is taking place.
This protects the vehicle, the battery and the charger leads from damage.
As soon as the vehicle is connected up to the mains supply, the corresponding relay picks
up and blocks the ignition signal for instance. Another example is the actuation of a suitable
signal lamp to convey the message visually that charging is currently in progress.
