BATTERY CHARGING SETTINGS
NOTE: The charger features four independent output
channels, such that the charging progress of any one
channel is completely independent of the other three
channels. Each channel has a nominal output of 2 amps
and is current limited not to exceed 2 amps. An ERROR
or reverse connection on any one channel has no impact
on charging activity on any other channel.
All unit LEDs will light momentarily, then only the LEDs
corresponding to charging settings should stay lit. The
charger is now in Standby Mode. One any given channel,
Standby Mode is indicated by a slowly flashing Red AGM
LED.
If an ERROR Indicator LED lights, disconnect from AC
power supply immediately and determine the cause of
the alarm. The POLARITY light indicates reverse polarity
connection error, while the ERROR light indicates the
detection of a battery fault, such as a shorted connection.
Charging a Battery:
1. Choose a battery type setting. To charge Standard
and Maintenance Free Flooded Acid batteries, push
the Battery Type button until the “STD” LED is lit. To
charge AGM batteries, push the Battery Type button
until the “AGM” LED is lit.
2. Press the “START/STOP” button and the charging
indicator LED will light. The charger will automatically
commence and complete the charging process. If you
press the “START/STOP” button at any point during
the charging sequence, the charger will stop charging
and return to Standby Mode.
NOTE: If the ERROR LED lights, disconnect from AC
power immediately and determine the cause of the alarm.
See Additional Features for a list of conditions that might
cause this warning.
NOTE: The charger is designed to protect against faults
and shorts (see Battery Charger Features). If the battery
to be charged has a open circuit voltage of less than
1V, the charger will indicate a fault. If, after unplugging
unit, checking connections and verifying all settings, you
determine the problem causing the “fault” condition is
battery voltage below 1V, you can override the charger’s
protection by holding down the “START/STOP” button
for 3 seconds. The charger will commence the charging
sequence and, assuming these are no other hindrances
that caused the fault indication, will complete the charging
process and automatically turn off when the battery has
reached full charge.
3. When the battery approaches full charge and enters
the Completion Phase, the green CHARGING
COMPLETE indicator will light and the CHARGING IN
PROGRESS indicator will flash. At this point, if time is
critical, the battery can be put into service if it will be
used in a charging situation, such as in a vehicle that
that will be used immediately. To reach a true 100%
state of charge, the charger should stay connected
until the charger reaches the Rest Phase, when only
the green CHARGING COMPLETE is lit.
4. When you are finished with the charging process,
press the START/STOP button to place the channel
in use into Standby Mode. Then, disconnect DC
leads from vehicle ground (if charging with battery in
vehicle) and battery in the reverse sequence of the
connection procedure.
