MODE Selection Button

The Mode selection button changes the mode 

of operation of the charger between AUTO 

CHARGE mode, ENGINE START mode, and 

STABLE POWER mode. In Auto Charge mode, 

once the charging parameters have been set 

and the START button has been pressed, the 

charger will commence a proprietary, advanced 

multi-phase charging sequence designed to 

provide an optimal charge. STABLE POWER 

mode provides steady, stable power to 

maintain system voltage during on-vehicle 

repairs and other applications where it is 

detrimental for system voltage to drop below 

a specific threshold. ENGINE START mode provides engine starting assistance to jump start vehicles with 

depleted batteries. 

SUPPLY (Stable Power) Control Buttons

Once an operator chooses SUPPLY Mode, they are able to select the desired system voltage to be maintained. 

Desired voltage can be increased or decreased in 0.1V increments 

CHARGE Control Buttons

Once an operator chooses CHARGE Mode, there are additional settings that must be chosen prior to 

commencing the charging sequence. 
The Type button allows an operator to choose the specific battery type to be charged, enabling the charger 

to provide the exact power profile for that battery type. Selectable battery types include traditional flooded 

batteries and AGM batteries (including Spiral Wound batteries).
The Volt button allows the operator to choose the desired voltage for the specific application.  Selectable 

voltages include 12V and 24V.
The Rate button allows an operator to choose the desired charge rate for each specific application. Selectable 

charge rates include 60A, 40A or 10A charge rates (12V mode), 20A and 10A charge rates (24V mode)..  

START Button

The START button is used to commence each function once all of the functional parameters have been set to 

the desired values. The START button can also be used to discontinue any function once it has commenced. 

LED Status Lights

LED lights in the control panel indicate which functional mode the charger is currently set to, as well as current 

status of the chosen function once the function has commenced. In addition, each function mode features 

error LEDs to alert the operator to unsafe operating conditions, including battery faults and reverse polarity 

connections.
