AFETY NOTES
! Read the instructions before using the charger for the
first time
! Do not open the case, and do not modify the unit in any way
! Use the charger exclusively to recharge rapid-charge capable
Li-Ion / Li-Polymer, NiCd or NiMH batteries
! Observe the battery manufacturer's charging instructions
(especially with Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries !)
! Use the charger only to recharge packs consisting of cells of
the same type and capacity
! Do not attempt to charge two battery packs simultaneously
! Do not recharge packs which are hot to the touch; allow them
to cool down to ambient temperature first
! Do not connect charger and battery with reverse polarity
! Do not leave the charger operating unsupervised
! The charger may become hot when operating - take care when
touching the unit
⇒ Do not cover the charger; provide adequate cooling
⇒ Do not subject the charger to direct sunshine
! Keep the charger, battery and cables well away from
flammable or temperature-sensitive objects
! Protect the charger from damp

SING THE CHARGER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Connect the charger to the car battery using the crocodile clips:

The red LED marked "Laden/CHG" lights up to indicate that the
charger is ready for use.

HARGING
Connecting the battery
Connect the battery to the appropriate "OUTPUT" sockets for NiCd /
NiMH batteries or Li-Ion / Li-Polymer batteries (see main MULTIPLEX
catalogue for suitable charge leads terminating in banana plugs).
Select the appropriate battery type using the "Batt. Type" button. The
2A
red LED marked "Li-Ion" or the orange LED marked "NiCd / NiMH"
2A
glows to indicate the selected charge process.
! Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Take care to make all
connections correctly; avoid reversed polarity:
"+" battery terminal
"—" battery terminal
Set charge current
The charge current is infinitely variable within the range 0.2A - 2A.
! Observe the battery manufacturer's charging instructions.
If the battery manufacturer's information is not available:
NiCd battery:
0.5 ... 2 C
Example: charge current for NiMH battery of 600 mAh capacity:
600 mAh x 0.5 C ... 1 C = 300 mA ... 600 mA
! Note: do not connect Li-Ion / Li-Polymer batteries to the
charger if they are deeply discharged (<3V / cell).
Fast-charging
Press the START/STOP button to initiate the fast-charge process at the
set current.
During charging the appropriate LED glows to confirm the battery
type.
For safety reasons the charge period is limited to 6 hours (safety
timer). After this period the fast-charge process is interrupted and the
unit switches to a trickle charge current.
The charge process can be interrupted at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button.
It is normal for batteries to become quite warm (up to about 50°C)
during charging. If the pack gets hotter than this, disconnect it from
the charger immediately. It may be that the battery is not fast-charge
capable, or that an excessive charge current is set. Allow the pack to
cool down to ambient temperature and re-start the process at a lower
charge current.
Charge termination
The charger beeps briefly to indicate the end of the charge process.
The "Full" LED also lights up at this time.
Trickle charge
At the end of the charge process the unit automatically switches to a
trickle charge current.

ODE
If any of the following errors occurs, the charger switches to Error
Mode (error indicator: all three LEDs flash simultaneously, beeper
sounds):
1. Operating voltage above or below the permissible range
(11...15V)
2. START/STOP button pressed with no battery connected to output
3. Battery disconnected during charge process
4. Battery connected with reverse polarity
5. Battery short-circuit
6. Battery voltage above 18 V (e.g. if a pack with very high internal
resistance is connected, or if the pack is faulty or contains a bad
cell)
Establish the cause of the error before continuing. Press the START/
STOP button to restore the charger to Ready mode.
