FIGURE 6: Temperature Sensor and Remote Panel Installation
Without the temperature sensor installed the output of the charger will be at the nominal
voltages specified in the chart below at 72° F (22.2° C). The absorption/float output voltage
settings at that temperature are listed in the chart.
To provide some examples which clarify the effect of the temperature compensation sensor,
the chart lists the absorption/float output voltages of the charger when batteries are at 72° F
(or when the sensor is not installed), and at cold (50° F) or hot (90° F) battery temperatures
with the sensor installed:
F) Equalize Timer Option
Some manufacturers of flooded lead-acid batteries recommend a charging process known as
equalization for extended battery life. This process involves occasionally charging a wet lead-
acid battery at a very high voltage for a short period of time in order to completely de-
sulphate each of the battery plates, essentially equalizing their voltage. The installer of the
Phase Three charger may choose to wire in this option at the time of installation.
