Automatic recharging of the accumulators when the ARGUS is switched on
The ARGUS automatically recharges the accumulators (also shortened to “accus”), if the
ARGUS is connected to the plug-in power supply and the accumulator voltage is less than
6.4 volts (use only the supplied accumulators). While charging, the ARGUS displays the
message “Charge accu”.
If you press and hold the power switch, the ARGUS will switch off before the accumulators
are recharged. Otherwise, the ARGUS will switch itself off automatically as soon as the
accumulators are recharged.
Automatic recharging of the accumulators in the background (trickle charge)
If the trickle charge setting is set to “ON”, the ARGUS will
begin charging the accus automatically while it is in
operation (if the power supply is plugged in) as soon as
the voltage drops below 6.4 V.
(the battery symbol will be shown in the display).
If the ARGUS is disconnected from its power supply after a short while, it is
possible that the accumulators may not be fully charged. In such case, when the
ARGUS is reconnected to the power supply, it will not begin to charge the
accumulators again until their voltage drops below 6.4V once more.
Accu servicing
The ARGUS will display the current charge of the accumulators, if no power supply is
connected.
When the power supply is connected, the accumulators in the ARGUS can be completely
discharged or immediately (without being first discharged) recharged. The discharge
procedure takes up to 7 hours. After a pause of about 30 minutes, the ARGUS will
automatically begin to recharge the accumulators.
