■ This appliance may be used by chil-
dren aged 8 over and by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided
that they are under supervision
or have been told how to use the
appliance safely and are aware of
the potential risks. Children must not
use the appliance as a plaything.
Cleaning and user maintenance
tasks may not be carried out by
children unless they are supervised.
■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Additional safety instructions
■ Do not use the charger for charging
non-rechargeable batteries.
■ Do not use the charger for charging
lithium-ion batteries.
■ Place the removed battery in a well-
ventilated location during charging.
■ The automatic mode of operation
and usage restrictions are explained
below in these operating instructions.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
■ Do not operate the appliance with
a damaged cable, supply cord or
mains plug. A damaged power cord
causes danger to life by electric shock.
■ Before connecting to the power,
ensure that the power connection is
earthed, is 230 V ∼, 50 Hz, and is
16 A fused and equipped with an
RCCB switch (residual current circuit
breaker) in accordance with the current regulations!
■ Disconnect the charger from the grid,
before you make or break connections to the battery.
■ Always connect the positive terminal
clamp (red) first.
■ The negative terminal clamp (black)
must be connected to the chassis at
least 10 cm away from the battery
and the fuel line.
■ Now connect the charger to the
power supply.
■ After charging, disconnect the
charger from the grid. Only after this
remove the clamp from the bodywork.
Following this, remove the clamp
from the battery.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION
AND FIRE HAZARD!
Protect yourself from a highly explosive hydrogen-oxygen reaction!
■ Ensure that during charge and
charge retention procedures, there
are no naked lights (flames, cinders
or sparks)!
■ Ensure that the plus cable does not
come into contact with fuel lines
(e.g. petrol pipe)!

■
Ensure that there is no possibility of
ignition of explosive or flammable
substances, such as petrol or solvents,
while using charger!
■ Only use the charger for charging
and for charge retention of 6 V /
12 V lead batteries.
Do not charge frozen batteries.
■ Ensure that there is adequate venti-
lation during charging.
DANGER OF CHEMICAL
BURNS!
■ Wear protective glasses! Wear
protective gloves! If eyes or skin has
come into contact with battery acid,
rinse the affected body region off
with a large amount of clean water
and consult a doctor straight away!
■ Avoid causing a short circuit when
connecting the charger to the battery. Connect the negative pole
connector cable only to the negative battery or to the body work.
Connect the positive pole connector
cable only to the plus pole of the
battery!
■ Do not place the charger close to fire,
heat or to places with long-term exposure to temperatures over 50 °C!
■ Ensure that no fuel lines,electric
cables, hydraulic or water pipes
are damaged by the screws during
assembly of the charger!
■ Do not cover the charger with any
objects!
■ Protect the electrical contact sur-
faces of the battery from short
circuiting!
Operation
Before use
♦ Before connecting the charger, the operating
instructions must be observed.
♦ Furthermore, the instructions of the vehicle man-
ufacturer regarding a permanently connected
vehicle battery must be observed. Secure the
vehicle, switch off the ignition.
♦ Clean the battery poles. Take care that while doing
so, your eyes do not come into contact with the dirt.
♦ Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Connecting
NOTES
► There are two options for connecting the charger.
Connect the negative terminal connecting cable
(black) either directly to the negative terminal of
the battery or to the bodywork. Please also bear
in mind the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
♦ Before starting the charging or trickle charging
procedure on a permanently installed battery in
a vehicle, first disconnect the negative terminal
connecting cable (black) of the vehicle from the
negative terminal of the battery. The negative
terminal of the battery is usually connected to
the vehicle’s coachwork.
♦ Connect the positive pole clamp (red)
charger to the positive pole of the battery.
♦ Connect the negative pole clamp (black) to the
negative pole of the battery or to the bodywork.
♦ Connect the mains cable of the charger to
the mains socket.
♦ The battery voltage display
rent battery voltage.
♦ Should the connection of the clamps be swapped,
the LED „reverse connection“
shows the cur-
of the
lights up.

Disconnect
♦ Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
♦ Remove the negative pole clamp (black)
from the negative pole of the battery or from the
bodywork.
♦ Remove the positive pole clamp (red) from
the positive pole of the battery.
Measuring STANDBY /
Battery voltage
After connection to the grid, the appliance is on
STANDBY. The standby display lights up. When
the clamps are connected, the battery voltage is
shown in the LCD (voltage display ). The segments
of the condition display are empty.
If the voltage is below 3.8 V or above 15 V, the
battery will not be charged. The display briefly
shows the error message „Err“.
The appliance goes on standby.
Revitalising
If after about 90 sec. between 7.5–10.5 V are
detected, a 12 V battery is present.
Charging starts with a pulse charge for revitalising. The voltage display

Program selection
NOTES
► If a battery is detected in the voltage range of
between 3.7–7.3 V, the programmes 2–3–4
can not be selected. The charging process takes
place automatically. Depending on the selected
program, the characteristic charge curve is
monitored for voltage, time and temperature.
Included are the diagnostics program, revitalising mode and retention charge.
(See principle representation program 3 Fig. C)
6 V battery:
If the voltage range of the battery is measured
as between 3.7–7.3 V, only program 1 can be
selected.
12 V batteries:
If a battery is recognised in the critical voltage
range of between 7.3–10.5 V, the appliance
checks whether a fully charged 6 V battery, or a
discharged 12 V battery is present. After pressing
the program selection button
the appliance carries out a control measurement
for about 90 sec.
The display shows:
If after about 90 sec. between 7.3–7.5 V are
detected, the 12 V battery is defective.
The appliance goes on standby.

Retention charge
As described under programmes, this appliance
features the automatic retention charge. Depending
on the voltage drop of the battery, caused by
selfdischarge, the appliance reacts with different
charge currents.
The battery can remain connected to the charger
for longer periods of time.
Appliance protection function
The charger switches the electronics off and switches
the system instantly to the basic setting, as soon as
there is an abnormal situation, such as short circuit,
critical voltage drop during charging, broken circuit
or swapped connection of the connector clamps is
detected.
Should the appliance become too hot during charging, the output current is automatically reduced. This
protects the appliance from damage.
Maintenance and care
WARNING! Before you carry out any
work on the battery charger always pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
The appliance is maintenance-free.
♦ Do not under any circumstances use solvents or
other aggressive cleaning agents.
♦ Clean the plastic surfaces of the device with a
dry cloth.
