Operation Manual

9. COMMISSIONING

The charger must be operated with a stabilised direct voltage (12 - 18 V/DC).

Never use the charger with another voltage as this will destroy the charger and

invalidate the warranty/guarantee!

Depending on the battery connected, a charging current of up to 20 A is

possible. For this reason, the power supply chosen must be strong enough.

We recommend that you either use a fully charged car battery or a mains

adapter with an output current of 30 A. Of the charge output is to be fully

utilised, use a mains adapter with an output voltage of 15 - 18 V/DC.

Connect the connection cable of the charger to the power supply. Ensure correct polarity

(plus/+ and minus/-)! The red cable must be connected to the positive pole (plus/+), the

black one with the negative one (minus/-).

The charger emits a brief signal sound and the LC display is illuminated. The charger is

now in the main menu; the display shows, e.g., the following:

Please observe the following points before connecting/charging the battery:

• If you have not done so already, please read chapter 5 and 6 completely and

ensure that you have understood the information there.

• Do you know all of the information you need to know about your battery?

Unknown or unlabelled batteries, the necessary values of which you do not

know, must not be connected/charged/discharged!

• Have you selected the correct charging program for the type of battery you

are using? Incorrect settings will damage the charger and the battery; there

is a danger of fire and explosion!

• Did you set the right charging current?

• Have you selected the correct voltage (e.g. for multiple-cell LiPo batteries)?

A two-cell LiPo battery may be switched in parallel (3.7 V) or series (7.4 V).

• Are all connector cables and plugs undamaged, do the plugs stay firmly in

the sockets? Worn plugs and damaged cables should be replaced.
