Figure 3-13, Hold CV Charge Volts CC/CV Charge Stages
□
Hold CV Chg Volts
– This setting holds the battery voltage at the
CV Chg Volts
setting.
This is for a system that requires a constant charge voltage to be present at all times.

Set Max CC/CV Charge Time
– This setting is a safety feature that ensures
abnormal conditions do not cause the charger to hold batteries at a high voltage for a
prolonged period of time. This menu sets a maximum time the charger is allowed to
operate in either the Constant Current or Constant Voltage charge modes. If the charger
reaches the maximum charge time setting, it will transition to the Silent charge stage. If
using the
OFF
setting, the charger will stay in the Constant Current and Constant Voltage
charge modes inde
fi
nitely.
Default:
Time = 12.0 Hrs
Range:
OFF, 0.1-25.5 Hrs
ο
Set DC Volts to Recharge
– This setting determines the DC voltage set-point to
which the batteries are allowed to fall—while the charger is in Silent charge cycle—before
the charger restarts and recharges to the
CV Chg Volts
setting. This setting should be at
the lowest DC volts level that you want the batteries to fall before starting a new charge.
Default:
DC Volts to Recharge = 12.0 (12v), 24.0 Volts (24v), 48.0 Volts (48v)
Range:
12.0-16.0 Volts (12v), 24.0-32.0 Volts (24v), 48.0-64.0 Volts (48v)
◊
Set Battery Type ( Custom) –
This selection allows you to individually adjust the
fl
oat,
absorb, and equalization charge voltage settings and to set an equalization time for your
batteries. The following Custom battery settings display only if
Custom
has been selected
from the
03 Battery Type
menu. Use these settings to determine the battery’s absorption,
fl
oat, and equalization voltages, and the maximum amount of time spent equalizing.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage during battery charging or equalization, consult the battery
manufacturer to ensure the best charge settings are used for your type of batteries.
Custom Chg Settings

– Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held constant during a Float
cycle.
Default:
13.2 Volts (12v)
,
26.4 Volts (24v), 52.8 Volts (48v)
Range:
12.0-16.0 Volts (12v)
,
24.0-32.0 Volts (24v), 48.0-64.0 Volts (48v)
