METER: 03 Timers
• 03A Charge Time
– This meter displays the total time the charger is holding the batteries
at a high voltage level—de
fi
ned as 0.2 volts greater than the
fl
oat voltage setting. The timer
counts when in the Bulk, Absorption, or Equalization charge stages (or in the Constant Cur-
rent and Constant Voltage charge stages if
CC/CV
is selected under the
SETUP: 03C Battery
Type
menu). The meter does not accumulate time when in Float, Charger Standby, Full, or
Silent mode. The charge timer resets whenever the charge status goes to “Charging” (AC
connected to inverter/charger), or the charger initiates another Bulk, EQ, or Constant Current
charge cycle.
Info:
The displayed
03A Charge Time
value is used by the Max Charge Time feature
to determine when to display “
Max Charge Time,
” and to blink the CHG LED indicator.
Info:
The Max Charge Time safety feature is set and enabled based on the battery type
that is selected under the
SETUP: 03C Battery Type
menu:
a) If battery type is CC/CV – the
Set Max CC/CV Time
setting is available once
Set CV
Chg Done Time
(or
Amps
) is selected under the
SETUP: 03C Battery Type/CC/CV
menu.
b) If battery type is not ‘
CC/CV
’ – the
SETUP: 03F Max Charge Time
menu is available
to set the maximum charge time.
• 03B Since Absorb Done
– This meter displays the number of days since the Absorption
charge mode was completed. This menu resets to zero once an Absorb Done parameter is met
as per the
SETUP: 03D Absorb Done Time, Amps,
or
SOC
settings.
Info:
The
03B Since Absorb Done
timer also resets to zero if the Absorption charge
mode is
fi
nished prematurely due to the starting of another charge mode—such as
enabling a Start Float charge (using
CTRL: 02 CHG Control/Start Float
).
• 03C Since EQ Start
– This meter displays the number of days since the EQ charge mode has
been enabled. This menu resets to zero once equalization has started. The
SETUP: 03H EQ
Reminder Days
menu uses the time shown in this menu to determine when to indicate it is
time to perform an Equalization charge to the batteries.
