The various facilities of the charger are divided up into four program groups which you can select by
holding the MODE button pressed in for two seconds. The sequence is shown in the flow chart
below.
Ni-Cd battery programs: charging, conditioning, discharging to determine capacity or residual
capacity, or to select cells.
Ni-MH battery programs: charging, conditioning, discharging to determine capacity or residual
capacity, or to select cells.
LiPo / LiIo / LiFe battery programs: charging, discharging to determine capacity or residual capacity,
or to select cells.
Lead-acid battery programs: charging, discharging to determine capacity or residual capacity, trickle
charge for stand-by operation.

8. Selecting the charge program group
In the interests of clarity, the charge and set-up facilities of the
ULTRAMAT 17 are divided into four logical program groups.
MODE
A separate program group is provided for each of the different
battery types: Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal-Hydride, Lithium-
Ion / Lithium-Polymer / LiFePO
MODE
A supplementary program group contains the individual adjust-
ment facilities for the charger overall.
Switching programs:
MODE
Changing from one charge program group to another is not
possible if the charger is currently engaged in a charge /
discharge process.
Changing from one program group to another is carried out using
MODE
the MODE button, which must be held pressed in for about two
seconds. A brief press on the MODE button makes changes within
the program group.
