The Black Diamond Charger performs an exclusive charge cycle that is composed by stages
at constant current and stages at pulsed current, with cool down pauses in between.
The management of the charging curve is totally automatic.
Depending on the programming of the Full Charge time window (Parameter 9), when the
battery approaches the gassing voltage the charger may suspend the charge (typical
opportunity charge cycle). In this situation, the display visualizes the message:
DELAYED OVERCH.
(hh.mm)A → (hh.mm)B
Where (hh.mm)A represents the real time at that moment, and (hh.mm)B represents the
beginning of the Full Charge / Overcharge time window.
During the cool down pauses, that are normally inserted during the gassing phase, the
display visualizes the message “Cooling”.

EMERGENCY STOP
If the battery doesn't reach the gassing voltage within a predetermined time, the charger will
suspend the charge, and it will visualize the message
EMERGENCY STOP
VGAS NOT REACHED
In this case, the charge cannot proceed, and it's necessary to disconnect the battery.
It's recommended to control the battery for damaged cells.

EMERGENCY STOP
If the battery doesn’t reach the gassing voltage within a predetermined time, the
charger will suspend the charge, and it will visualize the message:
In this case, the charge cannot proceed, and it’s necessary to disconnect the battery.
It’s recommended to control the battery for damaged cells.
AC INPUT BLACK OUT
If there is a black-out of the AC input, while the charge is in progress, the charger
will shut down, while the charge parameters will remain in memory.
When the AC input will be recovered, the charger will restart the charge cycle
automatically, and the display will show the message:
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
If the AC input voltage is abnormally high and/or the AC input adjustments have not
been done correctly (See Chapter “INSTALLATION”), the charging current may
reach an excessive value.
In this case, the charger will suspend the charge, and the display will visualize
the message:
The charge will not proceed, and it’s necessary to disconnect the battery.
It’s recommended to control the AC input connections of the charger,
as explained in Chapter 3 “INSTALLATION”.
It’s recommended to verify the condition of the battery, as it may have one or more cells in short circuit.
AUTOMATIC STOP
The charger shuts down automatically when the charge is correctly complete, and
it will visualize the message:
At this time it’s possible to disconnect the battery.
EQUALIZE CYCLE – AUTOMATIC (CLOCK MODE)
At the end of the charge, if the battery is left connected to the charger for a sufficient time, the charger activates the
Equalize cycle automatically, based upon the programmed schedule.
If the charge cycle ends outside of the programmed Equalize time window, the charger
remains in stand-by mode, and the display shows the message:
Where DAY and TIME represent the beginning of the programmed Equalize time window.
EQUALIZE CYCLE – MANUAL
During the charging of the battery the operator can scroll the menu of the display, and
he can force a EQ manual cycle at the end of this cycle.
