DESULFATION
The operator can every time interrupt the standard charging and enable with a easy procedure a special desulfation
cycle. During the charging the operator can press Enter few seconds and the display shows a desulfation menu, in this menu
the operator can select the time during of desulfation and the type of restart of desulfation, in fact sometimes it is
strategic important to complete a standard charging after a completed desulfation cycle.
REFRESH-MAINTENANCE
This function is useful to keep the battery in perfect condition when it’s not used for an long period (weeks, months, ...).
It is sufficient to leave the battery connected to the charger. After a normal termination of the charge and the equalize cycle,
the control board will activate the charger automatically for 15 minutes of refresh charge every day.
While the charger waits before to activate a Refresh cycle, the display shows the messages:
• Battery Voltage
[Volt]
• Nr of Refresh cycles already given to the battery
• Total Time of Charge
[hours.minutes]
• Total Capacity Returned
[Ah]
During cycle Refresh, the display shows the same set of information that are visualized during the normal charge cycle.
DISCONNECTION OF THE BATTERY DURING THE CHARGE
The charger will suspend the charge and the display will show the message:
At this time it’s possible to disconnect the battery.

PROGRAMMING BATTERY ID MODULE
When a battery ID module is installed on a battery for the first time, it must be initialized and programmed, by following
this procedure. Connect the battery to a AR-TOP charger (the Battery Recognition mode
must be set to BATTERY ID MODULE or OPTIONAL). The AR-TOP charger will establish
a communication with the New Battery ID module, and it will show the message:
At this point, using the UP/DOWN buttons, it’s possible to edit the battery ID information:
• ID Number (8 alphanumeric digits, to be confirmed individually by pressing ENTER for 3 seconds)
• Nominal Voltage
• Capacity
• Type
Once all the parameters are set correctly, push the buttons
UP+DOWN Simultaneously
in order to save the data to the ID module. The programming sequence may take up to
3 minutes, while the charger display will show the message:
>>>WARNING !<<<
DON’T DISCONNECT THE BATTERY DURING THE CHARGE. RISK OF EXPLOSION!!!
If it’s necessary to disconnect the battery while it’s being charged, press the button UP for five seconds, in
