electrical system (DIN 40 839,
interference emission level I)..
This means that it is possible to
charge batteries without dis-
connecting them from the vehi-
cle electrical system. (However,
exhausted batteries must be
disconnected from the vehicle
electrical system for charging.)
f Reverse polarity protection
The charging voltage remains
switched off if the polarity is
incorrect.
f Terminal short-circuit
protection
The charging voltage cannot be
switched on in the event of a ter-
minal short-circuit.
f Safety cut-out
For safety reasons the charging
voltage is switched off as soon
as a charging clip is removed
from the battery terminal.

f Check of rated battery voltage
Batteries can only be charged if
the
corresponding
selection is made. (This voltage
check is not performed when
charging exhausted batteries.)
Faults are indicated by the red indi-
cator lamp
(8).
