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 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 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
When the battery is fully charged all 4 bars of the battery symbol appear black. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the charger begins conservation charging.
- All bars are displayed
- The battery is 100% charged

- Automatic adjustment of the electrolyte circulation as dictated by the situation
- "User" - "On"/"Off":
- Individual setting of the electrolyte circulation
- The settings for "On" and "Off" determine the pulse/pause ratio of the air flow in­tervals
Temperature-controlled charging:
26
The following settings are available for temperature-controlled charging:
- automatic/OFF/required:
- automatic ... Temperature-dependent adjustment of the charging characteristic
- OFF ... The measured battery temperature is not taken into account
- required ... Charging only starts when a temperature sensor is connected
- Error overtemperature ON/OFF:
- ON ... Error message in the event of battery overtemperature Charging process stops and can only be continued once the battery has cooled down and been reconnected
- OFF ... No error message in the event of battery overtemperature
- Warning overtemperature ON/OFF:
- ON ... Warning in the event of battery overtemperature
- OFF ... No battery overtemperature warning
Equalize charge:
- ON: 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: e.g. Charging time 7-8 h
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.
Additional settings:
- Change the allocated characteristic: characteristics symbol
- Remove the selected characteristic: remove

Options
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

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.

There follows an overview of the options that are directly connected with the relay board. These relay-connected options are activated through the relay board outputs:
- Aquamatic
- Charging
- Charge 80%
- Charge end
- Main charge finished
- Charge OK
- Common error
- Signal lamp
- Immobiliser device
-ON
- Refill indicator
- Battery cooled
- External air pump (electrolyte circulation)
Aquamatic The Aquamatic contains the controller for a solenoid valve that automatically tops up the
water in the battery to be charged.
- Standard setting:
- At the start of the recharging phase, the solenoid valve opens for 12 seconds and then closes for 6 seconds
- This cycle is repeated 26 times
- USER setting:
- Configurable "ON" time (solenoid valve opens) after the end of the main charge phase
EN
Charging The "Charging" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. While charging
is in progress, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Charge 80% Like the "Main charge finished" function, the relevant relay switches as soon as the battery
is 80% charged.
Charge finish The "Charge finish" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. Once the
configured charging characteristic is fully completed, the corresponding relay picks up au­tomatically.
Main charge fin­ished
Common error message
The "Main charge finished" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. When 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.
41
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.
