Operation
4.1
�urning on and off
The power supply for the battery charger comes from
the lighting mains. The unit is factory set to 230 V,
50/60 Hz. The BAT 430 is turned on using the mains
switch (Fig. 1, Pos. 8).
i
BAT 430 automatically recognizes whether a 12 Volt
battery or a 24 Volt battery (series connection of
two 12 Volt batteries) is connected.
i
The back-up mode occurs if the terminal clips are
connected after switching on, and the buffer mode
occurs if the terminal clips are connected before
switching on (see Chapter 4.5).
