Accessing The Advanced Programming Mode
The ARS-5 provides a broad range of advanced user adjustments in its password-protected Advanced Program mode.
The Advanced Program mode is accessed via the Basic Program mode. To access the Advanced Program mode:
With the regulator activated, TOUCH / HOLD the magnet to the RED dot on the regulator’s epoxy potting.
1.
The regulator will cycle to PRO. RELEASE the magnet from the switch.
2.
The regulator will cycle through all of the Basic Program modes; bA, bEL, Ab2, dSP and bdL -- followed by three dashes.
3.
TOUCH / HOLD when the three dashes are displayed. The dashes will be replaced by AP0 followed by AP1, and so on.
4.
When the display indicates AP5, RELEASE.
5.
The display will cycle to PrA, indicating entry into the Advanced Programming mode.

Making Advanced Programming Adjustments
Once accessed, the Advanced Program mode allows the user to adjust time, voltage and temperature settings for most
operational modes. When the desired mode is indicated, TOUCH / HOLD the magnet to the RED dot on the epoxy pot-
ting. When the reed switch is engaged, the values for the various modes will scroll upward or downward. To reverse the
direction of scroll:
REMOVE the magnet from the reed switch.
1.
Wait for the mode indicator to be displayed.
2.
TOUCH / HOLD when the mode indicator is displayed. The values for that mode will begin to scroll in the opposite
3.
direction. Continue to HOLD until the desired value is displayed.
REMOVE the magnet from the RED dot. The mode indicator will be displayed again, followed by the indicator for the
4.
next Advanced Programming mode. The Advanced Programming Modes are as follows:
Start Delay.
Controls time from regulator activation to start of charging. Factory preset at one second.
Adjustable to a maximum of 999 seconds. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED
to display dLc code. Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.
Advanced Program Mode.
Once the correct password is used to unlock the Advanced Program
mode, the PrA display will be immediately followed by Advanced Programming modes. The Advanced
Programming modes include:
Compensation Limit.
Controls maximum allowable temperature compensated system voltage. Ad-
justment spans from 14.1 to 15.9 volts. Default is 14.8V. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and
wait for LED to display CL code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.
High Voltage Alarm.
Allows user to set the voltage required to activate an alarm. Default value is one
volt above bulk charging voltage.
Bulk Voltage.
Controls the target voltage for bulk charge mode. Starts at value set by battery program
in use. Adjustment spans from 14.1 to 14.8 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait
for LED to display bv code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.
Bulk Time.
Controls time setting for bulk mode. Standard value set is 18 minutes. Settings are from 6
minutes to 6 hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display b1c code.
Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.

magnet and wait for LED to display Av code. Re-activate and release when desired value is indicated.
Absorption Time.
Controls time setting for absorption mode. Standard value set is 18 minutes. Set-
tings are from 6 minutes to 6 hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to
