a) Connection to a Voltage/Current Supply
Attention!
Always connect the charger to the voltage/current supply rst; only then must a rechargeable battery be
connected to the charger.
The charger offers two different options for operation:
• Operation via the mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz)
• Operation via stabilised direct voltage (11 - 18 V/DC, e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery or a mains adapter)
Never use both operating modes at the same time. This may damage the charger. Loss of guarantee/war-
ranty!
The charger has a maximum charging output of 80 W. If the charger is to be operated via the direct voltage input, the
power supply strength must be chosen depending on how high the actually used charging output is (depending on the
rechargeable battery type, cell number and the charging current set).
When fully using the maximum charging output of 80 W, the conversion loss increases power intake by
about 20 - 30%.
If the charger is not to be operated at a 12 V vehicle lead battery, but via a xed voltage mains unit, it must
be able to supply a correspondingly high current (we recommend 10 A).
When using the direct current input, observe the correct polarity when connecting (plus/+ and minus/-). A suitable
connection cable with alligator clamps is enclosed (red = plus/+, black = minus/-).
The charger will switch on automatically after connecting to the voltage/current
supply. The display will light up; the start message will appear (see picture on
the right) and the charger will emit a brief signal sound.
The charger is then in the main menu and ready for operation.
