5. Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, disconnect in reverse sequence from connecting
procedure. See operating instructions for charge information.
Starting the charging process
1. Set the correct charge mode by pressing the mode button. You can find out how to
select the correct charge mode to be used for charging your battery in the section on
“SETTINGS”.
2. Once you have established that the battery cable has been correctly connected you
can start the charging process. To do so, insert the charger plug into the AC socket.
3. Now either the charge indicator or the maintenance charge indicator lights
up. When the maintenance charge indicator lights up, the battery is fully charged.
If the battery voltage drops, the charger sends a pulse to the battery. The length of
the pulse depends on how much charge the battery has lost. The BatteryCharger
200 may be connected for months at a time. However it is recommended to monitor
batteries on charge.
4. If nothing happens: If the indicator for the set voltage is still illuminated, but no other
indicator is illuminated, the connection to the battery or the chassis could be faulty, or
the battery could be defective. If the charging process has not started, this could be
due to the fact that the power socket is not supplying a current.
5. The charging process can be interrupted at any time. In addition pull the plug of the
charger out of the power socket or put the charger on Stand-by/Power On . Always
remove the plug of the charger from the power socket before disconnecting the
battery cable. If you interrupt the charging process of a battery fitted in a vehicle, the
battery cable must always be first disconnected from the chassis and then from the
other battery cable.
6. If the indicator for charge and maintenance charge are flashing alternately,
this may have the following causes:
• Interruption of the charging process because a cable has become loose or be-
cause the battery is not conducting.
• The battery is sulphated. If the indicator flashes for more than 30 minutes the bat-
tery may be defective and should be replaced.
• If the flashing signal is flashing at intervals of more than 10 seconds, then there is
a high self discharge of the battery, indicating a bad battery.
