Fan Operation; Display Messages - Schumacher DSR118 Manual Del Usuario

TESTER AND CHARGER
When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as a charger. Selecting a mode activates the
battery charger and deactivates the tester. Pressing the Mode Selection button when the Engine Start
mode is active (except during the 180 second cool down) will shut off the charger and activate the tester.
POWER-UP IDLE TIME LIMIT
If no button is pressed within 10 minutes after the battery charger is first powered up, the charger will
automatically switch from tester to charger if a battery is connected. In that case, the charger will be set to
the 6<>2A Charge/Maintain mode and AGM battery type.
TESTING AFTER CHARGING
After the unit has been changed from tester to charger (by selecting a mode), it remains a charger. To change the
battery charger back to a tester, press the Mode Selection button until the display shows voltage.
NOTE: The battery tester is only designed to test batteries. Testing a device with a rapidly changing
voltage could yield unexpected or inaccurate results.

FAN OPERATION

It is normal for the fan to start and stop when maintaining a fully charged battery. The fan does not run in
Tester Mode. Keep the area near the charger clear of obstructions, to allow the fan to operate efficiently.
RESTART
If the Mode is changed after charging has started (by pressing the Mode Selection button), the charging
process will restart.
