2.3 Intended use of battery-powered
clipping machine FAV5 CL/FORTIS
Note
The device is intended exclusively for cutting animal
hair.
The battery-powered clipping machine FAV5 CL/FOR-
TIS is used for shearing small animals.
The battery powered clipping machine FAV5 CL/FORTIS
is used with a blade to be selected according to the
respective application.
2.4 Intended use of charger XT433/Li-
ion battery XT431
The charger XT433 is used for charging the battery-
powered clipping machine FAV5 CL/FORTIS and the Li-
ion battery. There is one charging bay each for the two
components.

2.6 Operating principle of charger
XT433/Li-ion battery XT431
The charger XT433 is designed for the mains voltage/
frequency range 100 V to 240 V / 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
To make the charger XT433 ready for operation, con-
nect it to mains power by plugging in the mains plug.
The charger XT433 is equipped with to charging bays.
The first charging bay is for charging the battery-pow-
ered clipping machine FAV5 CL/FORTIS, while in the
second charging bay the Li-ion battery is charged.
Each charging bay has an indicator field on the charger
front panel assigned to it.
Charging starts automatically, as soon as a Li-ion bat-
tery is inserted in the charging station.
The charging time in the charging bays depends on the
charge state and capacity of the Li-ion batteries.
2.6.1 Charging principle
The Li-ion batteries are charged by constant current
pulses.
The charge state of the Li-ion battery is monitored
during charging. Monitoring of the charging curve
ensures that the battery is fully charged without over-
charging.
Additionally, the battery temperature and charging
time are monitored as well.
Only charging bay is active at a time. The machine
(front charging bay) is always charged first. It is then
first examined whether a battery is inserted in the rear
charging bay. If this is the case, the battery is charged.
If a battery is inserted into the rear charging bay while
a machine is being charged in the front charging bay,
the LED for the rear charging bay blinks green once
(battery detected) and then goes out until the battery
of the machine in the front charging bay is charged.
