2.4 Operating principle
Battery-operated clipping machine Econom CL/Econom CL Equipe
The battery-operated clipping machine Econom CL/Econom CL Equipe is
switched on and off using the on/off button 36.
Note
The on/off button only reacts after >0.5 s in order to avoid the machine
being switched on or off unintentionally.
Charger GT803/Li-ion battery GT801
The charger GT803 is designed for a mains voltage/frequency range of
100 V to 240 V and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
To make the charger GT803 ready for operation, connect it to mains power
by plugging in the mains plug.
The charger GT803 is equipped with one charging bay.
Charging starts automatically as soon as the Li-ion battery is inserted in
the charging station.
The charging time depends on the charge state and capacity of the Li-ion
battery.
Charging principle
The Li-ion batteries are charged by constant current pulses.
The charge state of the Li-ion battery is monitored during charging.
Monitoring of the charging curve ensures that the battery is fully charged
without overcharging.
Additionally, the battery temperature and charging time are monitored as
well.
The charge status display d of the lithium ion battery has 5 LEDs. Each LED
stands for 20 % of charge volume. When the battery is charging, the LED
of the respective charging status blinks. When all the LEDs are
permanently illuminated, the battery is completely charged.
Charging time
Charging is stopped as soon as the maximum charging time is reached. The
charging time is approx. 70 min.
