4.3.4 Change Charger Setup (Configuration)
A default setup (i.e. configuration) is factory-installed. Table 4-1 lists the factory parameter values.
Customer parameter values can be loaded if supplied with the order for the charger.
Refer to the menu shown in Figure 4-4 when setting-up a newly installed charger or when changing the
setup of an operating charger. The figure shows how to navigate the
Charger Setup
menu so that you can
change operating parameters to accommodate your application.
Note:
If password protection is enabled, only authorized personnel will be able to change setup parameter
values. When changing multiple values, you will be asked for your password only once during a charger
setup session.

Some parameters are dependent upon optional features. For example, temperature compensation requires
the installation of an optional temperature sensor. Before setting up a charger, refer to Table 1-1 Model
Designation and determine which options are installed in the charger at hand.
The procedures in this section are a bit more detailed than in the preceding sections. Consequently,
several subsections are employed to simplify describing of the setup options available within this menu.
