The battery charger only works if the batteries have been
inserted with their poles in the right direction.
Total discharge protection
If the battery voltage of the ancillary battery sinks below
10.5 V a relay shuts down all equipment using power.
If the total discharge protection is activated turn off the
12V main switch to avoid an additional discharge of the
ancillary battery.
The minimum charging period of 12 hours must be exten-
ded accordingly if equipment using 12V is switched on
during charging.
Function of the battery charger
Protecting the device
If the battery charger should become hot because of high en-
vironmental temperatures or high charging currents, a built-in
thermal switch turns off the battery charger until the temperature
in the battery charger has dropped again.
Check list
• Turn off the motor.
• Connect the battery charger to the mains supply.
• Switch on the 12V main switch.
• Turn off all equipment (also refrigerator) using 12V power.
The voltage of the caravan battery must rise to a maximum
voltage of 14.4 V.
If this does not happen after using the built-in battery charger
to charge the battery, check the following:
• Is the charger attached correctly to the power supply?
• Is the charger’s mains fuse working properly?
• Is the charger’s battery voltage over 3 volts?
• Are the ancillary battery’s poles attached correctly?
