2.  Charging stopped – operating indicator flashes.

Restarting 

charging

3.  Press the Stop/Start button to continue charging.

The charger analyses the battery again after the charging phase. Post analysis can detect  

batteries with a short circuit in individual cells. This cannot be detected in the pre analysis. If 

the battery voltage drops below 12 V within 2 min, the charger will go into error mode and 

the red warning triangle will start to flash. The charging sequence will be stopped.

Interrupting charging

Troubleshooting

NOTE!

 Risk of damage to connection sockets and plugs. Do

the device

–  Unplug the device from the mains,

–  Disconnect battery connection,

–  Put  up  an  easy-to-understand  warning  sign  to  stop  

  anybody inadvertently switching it back on again,

–  Using  a  suitable  measuring  instrument,  check  to  make 

  sure  that  electrically  charged  components  (e.g.  capaci- 

  tors) have discharged.
