USE OF THE CHARGER
Charger with automatic refreshing function for 1-12 Micro AAA or Mignon AA cells,
for 1-6 Baby C or Mono D cells in addition to 1-4 pcs. 9 V blocks. NiCd and NiMH
rechargeable batteries can be charged at the same time.
FEATURES
Capacity quick test for the inserted cells for approx. 5 sec.; Auto diagnosis of the
inserted cells as soon as contact is made; Automatic start of a refreshing programme
at the beginning of the charging process when tired cells are detected; NiCd and NiMH
rechargeable cells can be inserted and charged at the same time; Microprocessor
controlled charging and supervision of the charging status of cylindrical cells and 9 V
blocks; Individual microcontrolled supervision of the charging status for each cell during
the complete charging time; Individual supervision of every cell position; -delta V control
of each cell; Faulty cell detection – damaged cells are identified and displayed; Automatic
switch-over to trickle charge; Clear colour indicators of the rechargeable battery status for
each charging position; Switch mode power supply for worldwide use (100-240 V AC)
BATTERY QUICK TEST
After inserting the cells the state of the charge is displayed.
LED green: capacity over 80% of the nominal capacity
LED yellow: capacity between 25 and 80% of the nominal capacity
LED red: capacity under 25% of the nominal capacity
After 5 sec. if the cells are not removed, the unit switches over to autom. refreshing-
/charge mode.
LED INDICATORS
LED flashes red/green „Refreshing": refresh mode
LED lights red „Charging": charging process
LED lights green „Ready": battery
LED flashes red „Error": faulty cell
The charging status of the rechargeable batteries are supervised by the microcontroller
in regular intervals. This is indicated by a short flashing of the status indicators for about
8-10 seconds every minute.
OPERATION
Connect the charger to the mains supply (100–240 V AC 50-60 Hz). After inserting the
rechargeable batteries the state of charge is displayed. Then the charge-/ refresh process
starts for every charging circuit separately. The charging/refreshing process starts for
each charging circuit separately as soon as one or several cells are inserted. To insert a
cylindrical cell move the silver contact bridge backwards and put in the rechargeable cell
at the bottom of the charging slot. Please pay attention to the correct polarity (the positive
pole of the cells must point towards the LED indicators). The charger is equipped with 6
dual slots for cylindrical cells. In each charging position you can either insert 2 pcs. of
Micro AAA or Mignon AA cells or 1 pce. of Baby C or Mono D cells. When inserting
Baby C or Mono D cells both contact bridges must fit closely on the battery and the cells
must be located centrally. The left indicator of the dual charging slot signals the charging
process. A certain amount of heating of the rechargeable cells during charging is normal.
