Start charging
1. Connect the power cord to the power outlet. 
2. Set the proper charging mode for the battery by pushing the Mode button until the correct 
setting is lit. Choosing settings for your battery is described under ”BATTERY TYPES AND 
SETTINGS”.
3. The lamp for Deep Discharged battery (1) will indicate if the battery voltage is low. If lamp 
1 blinks, this indicates that the battery is lightly sulphated. Read more under ”CHARGING 
PHASES” 
4. Normal charging is indicated by the following lamps: Deep Discharged (1), Bulk Charge (2), 
Absorption Charge (3) or Maintenance Charging (4). When the maintenance lamp is lit, the bat-
tery is fully charged. The charge will restart if the voltage drops. The charger can be connected 
for months. 
SUPPLY or RECOND are indicated when the lamps for these settings are lit (5 or 6). 
5. If the battery cables are connected incorrectly, the reverse polarity protection will make sure 
that neither the charger nor the battery are damaged. In this case, the red warning lamp (0) will 
be lit. 
6. If nothing happens. If the setting lamp is lit but no other light comes on, the connection to 
the battery or to the chassis may be poor, or the battery may be faulty. Start by improving the 
contact between the battery and the charger.
7. Charging can be interrupted at any time by disconnecting the power cord from the wall 
socket or by putting the charger in "Standby" mode (lamp A). Always disconnect the power cord 
from the socket before removing the battery cables. When you interrupt charging of a battery 
mounted in a vehicle, always disconnect the battery cable from the chassis before removing the 
other battery cable.
CHARGING PHASES 
Mode chosen: ”NORMAL” or ”SNOWFLAKE”
MULTI XS 7000 is a multi stage fully automatic charger. Lamp B for chosen setting ”NORMAL” 
and lamp C for chosen setting ”SNOWFLAKE”.
Desulphation (Lamp 1, blinking)
Desulphation with pulsing for sulphated batteries. Indicated by blinking lamp 1.
Start (Lamp 1) 
Starting phase for charging. The starting phase continues until the battery’s terminal voltage 
has risen over a preset level. At this point, charging goes into the bulk phase. If the terminal 
voltage has not reached the preset level within 8 hours, charging is suspended. The error mode 
is indicated. This indicates a battery which is faulty or has too large capacity. If a large battery 
is charged that has been severely discharged, it may be necessary to restart the charger after 8 
hours. Start is indicated by lamp 1.
Bulk (Lamp 2)
Primary charging where approximately 80% of the charging happens. The charger delivers 
maximum voltage until the terminal voltage has risen to the preset level. After a number of 
hours, the charger goes on to the next phase, even if maximum voltage is not reached. Bulk is 
indicated by lamp 2. 
Absorption (Lamp 3) 
Final charging, voltage is kept at the preset level. During this phase, the voltage is gradually 
reduced. If the maximum length of time for Absorption is exceeded, the charger automatically 
continues with Analysis. Absorption is indicated by lamp 3.
