Normal on mode 

The charger keeps providing voltage 

continuously. This mode is suitable 

for loads that require current 24 

hours per day. 

 

 

3.4.2   Activating and deactivating of charging manually 

Manual  operation  only  works  when  the  charge-mode  is  set  to  manual 
mode (15). In the main menu press the Set button to activate or deactivate 
the charging.
