Stage 4.
ABSORPTION CHARGE - The constant voltage charging
Battery Type Selection: Wet: 14.4V, AGM: 14.3V, Gel: 14.1V, Calcium: 15.1V
When the battery voltage rises to the selected Absorption voltage level, the charging will switch to Constant voltage
charging. Absorption LED
is ON. Absorption charging current will decrease gradually to a set value at which the
charger automatically switches to Float Stage.
The max. absorption time is also controlled by the time in Bulk charge and battery type selected.
Remark: There is no charging at the end of Absorption charge.
This is normal as the battery you connected is under analysis.
Stage 5.
RECONDITION CHARGE - The constant voltage charging
Only for WET battery and manual select, please refer to section E.
Stage 6.
FLOAT CHARGE - The constant voltage charging
In this stage, the battery is full and only takes in the amount of current necessary for maintaining the capacity. The float
voltage is preset by factory according to the type of battery. Float LED
is ON.
In case of the charger keeps at this mode with charging current less than 20% of bulk current for over 60 hours. The
charger will go into the Standby mode.
Stage 7.
STANDBY MODE - The constant voltage charging
In this stage, the charging voltage at this mode will be 4% less than the Float voltage only for maintaining the capacity.
Float LED
is slow flashing.
New Cycle Charge every 18 days
Charger will start a new cycle charging of bulk to absorption to float every 18 days in either standby or float mode This
new cycle of charging will refresh the battery to prevent separation of the electrolyte & keep the electrode plates in good
condition.
The standby auto new cycle charge per 18 days are designed to keep the battery in good working condition during long
period of resting of the caravan or back up battery application.
E. Recondition Charging for wet type battery only
This mode is used to recover deeply discharged flooded battery only by high voltage charging (about 10% overcharge
absorption voltage). You can manual select this mode by simply press and hold 3 seconds the Recondition mode switch
(3) to set the charger at the beginning of charging operation. The Recondition LED will lit up to represent you have
selected Recondition mode in this charging cycle and the charging will be conducted after Absorption mode.
After entered into this mode, only the Recondition LED will ON. This will put the charger keep at Recondition mode for
preset time and then charger will go to Float once completed.
In case you want to cancel the Recondition charge that you selected, you can disable this by press and hold the
Recondition mode switch (3) for 3 seconds.
Remark: 1. This mode only can be operated at Flooded battery selected (Battery Selection Switch (4) set to
position 1 the WET battery)
2. Take special precautions as battery will emit explosive gas during Recondition charge.
F. Power Level adjustment
End user can set the maximum output current so to make the charger can suitable for different capacity battery
Make sure the charger is power OFF before adjust the power level.
Use a small slot type screw driver to select the maximum output current through the Charging Current Selection Switch
(5). Please refer to the label under the removable door for power level selection.
Position 1: 100% of the rated current
Position 2: 80% of the rated current
Position 3: 60% of the rated current
Position 4: 40% of the rated current
Position 5: 20% of the rated current
