autoXS EA-2138 - Initiating the Charging Process

Operation
18
As soon as the charger is connected to the power grid, the following will ap-
pear on the display
1
• the standby mode indicator
14
• the empty battery symbol for the battery charge level indicator
11
and
• the current voltage measured for the battery
15
(see Fig.D).
The green power indicator
12
will illuminate.
You have successfully connected the charger.
Starting the charging process
Automatic battery detection
The charger will automatically detect the type of battery connected.
• If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.8V or greater than 15V, the bat-
tery is not suitable or defective. The display
1
will show the measured
voltage of the battery
15
for 3seconds. Then the error message
ѡrr
will
appear. The charger is in standby mode
14
(see Fig.G).
− Disconnect the charger (see chapter “Disconnecting the charger”).
• If the charger measures a battery voltage between 3.8V and 7.3V, the
charger will detect a 6V battery.
− Start the 6V charging program
10
by pushing the mode button
6
.
• If the measured battery voltage is between 10.5V and 15V, the charger
will detect a 12V battery.
− Push the mode button and select from the motorcycle
7
, car
8
and cold
9
charging programs.
Reactivation of deep-discharged 12V batteries with pulse
charging
If the charger measures a battery voltage between 7.3V and 10.5V, this may
concern a full 6V battery or a deep discharged 12V battery.
− Push the mode button
6
to start a charging program. The charger will
initiate an additional check measurement. The display
1
will alternate
between two readouts during the control measurement (see Fig.H). The
measurement will take 1.5 minutes.
If after 1.5 minutes, the battery voltage measured is between 7.5V and 10.5V,
the charger will recognize the battery as a 12V battery and start the mo-
torcycle charging program
7
with pulse charging to reactivate the battery.
The voltage indicator
15
will blink.
Once the battery has reached a voltage of 10.5V, the charger will switch to nor-
mal continuous trickle charge. The charging current now corresponds to the
selected 12V charging program. The voltage will be shown continuously.
