“TIMER ADJ”
This stands for timer adjustment. This is a small 16 position rotary switch which
allows the user to adjust the amount of time that the charger takes in constant
voltage mode, while cutting back current at the end of a charge cycle before it shuts
off completely. If the switch is at ‘0’ then the timer will time out instantly - do not use
this setting. (‘0’ is the 3-o-clock position when viewed from the front). If the switch is
at ‘3:00’ it will go for 15 minutes before completely cutting back power. Each
additional tick after ‘1’ adds 10 more minutes to the charge cutback time. Turning
the switch clockwise all the way around to the 2:30 position will give the maximum
amount of time.
To reset the timer after it has started turn off the
power to the charger and then turn the power on
again.
“DIP SWITCHES”
The red and white dip switch module is on the upper right end of the charger. This is
a bank of 8 switches and they are numbered starting with #1 on the far right.
NOTICE!
Adjusting these switches can cause the charger to perform in an
undesirable manner! Please be sure you understand these switch features before
changing them. Pull switches down to turn them on. The image above shows the
factory preset positions.
NEVER CHANGE DIP SWITCH #4! IT MUST REMAIN
ON
!
Dip Switch Guide:
1.
Engages timer at peak voltage limit set point. This switch should be
ON.
If the pack drops below the peak voltage limit, the timer will turn off again.
2.
Starts timer as soon as the charger is turned on. This can be used for timed
charging. This switch should be
OFF.
3.
Starts timer when the reg bus commands. This switch should be
ON.
If the reg bus stops sending the signal, the timer will turn off again.
4.
Future feature switch.
THIS SWITCH MUST ALWAYS BE ON!
5.
Future low battery detection feature. This switch should be
OFF.
6.
AGM battery equalization. When using Mk2 series battery regulators, this will
allow the batteries to climb to a slightly higher voltage for equalization at the end
of charge. It also commands the yellow LEDs on each reg to turn on. This
switch should be
OFF.
7.
When the high voltage limit is set the charger stops moving power immediately.
The timer is not used at all when in this mode. This should be
OFF.
8.
Auto restart function. This allows the charger to restart charging when the battery
pack reaches the low voltage set point. This switch should be
OFF
unless using
