Equalize Timer Hours
The Equalize timer hours setting changes the amount of time that the charger remains in the Equalize charging
cycle once activated. When an Equalize cycle is started the charger will remain in Equalize Mode until the time
selected by this setting has passed. The Equalize timer can be set between 1-144 hours, by default the Equalize
timer is set for 8 hours.

Advanced Alarm Settings
The Advanced Alarm settings allow the user to access and modify additional parameters of the charger, such as
the Alarm Delays and Alarm Operation.
Alarm Delays
The Alarm Delays setting allows the user to determine the time delay between the alarm condition and alarm
indication. If an alarm condition returns to normal before the delay time, the alarm will not indicate. The delay
can be changed for Overload Alarm, End of Discharge Alarm, AC Alarm, Low Current Alarm, Low Voltage Alarm,
High Voltage Alarm, and High Voltage Shutdown Alarm; adjustable between 3-255 seconds.

Alarm Operation
The Alarm Operation setting defines if the alarms relays latch. The relay latch setting can be changed for
Summary Alarm, AC Power Fail Alarm, Low Current Alarm, Low Voltage Alarm, High Voltage Alarm. If any alarm
contacts are set to latch, the alarm will not clear until the ALARM RESET button is pressed, even if the alarm
condition returns to normal.
By default, no alarms are set as latching. Except High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD), these alarms will clear after
the condition returns to normal.
NOTE: The HVSD alarm latches by default and cannot be changed.
Temperature Compensation Settings
Temperature Compensation is a standard feature of the A36D charger. Temperature Compensation adjusts the
output voltage of the charger based on the temperature at the probe. To enable Temperature Compensation,
select “Temp. Comp.” in the Advanced Settings menu. Temperature Compensation is adjustable between 0.001
to 0.005 volts/cell/°C.
Ex: The output of a 60L charger with Temperature Compensation set to 0.002V/Cell/°C
would decrease by 0.12V for every 1°C increase in temperature.
LCD Settings
The LCD settings allow the user to control the LCD backlight. By default, the LCD backlight automatically turns
off after two minutes. The user may also set it to be always on. If the charger was ordered with a VFD control
board, this option will not be available.
