SET TYPE (Battery Type) - This setting is important. Using POWER
SHARE, set the Battery Type. The charger uses this information to set charging
values for the 3 stage automatic charger. Be sure to set the correct type.
Default: Wet Cell.
When no external AC power is available, the remote panel LED’s can be
turned OFF to conserve battery power. Turning off the INVERT function (with
external AC absent) activates the low power mode.
In this mode, if one of the front panel keys is pressed, the display will
become active. Press
SETUP, CHARGE,
or
POWER SHARE
and the unit
will display data for a short period of time, then return to the Low Power
Mode. If
INVERT
is pressed, the selected function is activated and Low Power
Mode is cancelled.
The Remote has a special charging mode that improves the condition of bat-
teries. Equalizing helps maintain battery capacity and extends life by deliber-
ately overcharging batteries for a short period of time. Do not equalize gel cell
batteries.
OPERATING TIP:
How often should batteries be equalized? It is recom-
mended that after 30 deep cycles or once a year the batteries should be
equalized. Check with the battery manufacturer for specific battery re-
quirements.
EQUALIZE
mode must be started manually. To begin equalizing, enter
SETUP
mode, then hold both
SETUP
and
CHARGE
until the
BATTERY
STATE LEDs
start blinking.
Equalizing should only be engaged after the batteries have been fully
charged by the normal battery charging cycle. The equalizing charge cycle lasts
approximately 8 hours. The equalize charge cycle can be terminated at any time
by interrupting the external AC power to the charger or by pressing the
CHARGE. The unit will return to normal display and operation after the com-
pletion of the equalize cycle.
