CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
There are five LED indicators and five switches that make up the controls and indicators for this charger. Every
time a pushbutton is pressed or the charger changes mode or charging stage, the charger sounds a single beep
tone. Refer to Figure 4A for locations of items on the Controls and Indicators panel.

From left to right the pushbuttons are:
ON/OFF -
this prepares the charger to be placed in any of the operating modes. Pressing the ON/OFF push-
button immediately stops any operating mode and the display shows the circulating pattern (Figure 4B).
Alternator Voltage Check
enables a five second check that measures the battery voltage. This check is repeat-
ed at various electrical load levels and the tests allow the user to determine if the alternator can keep up with
the loads. It can indicate alternator service may be required.
Battery Recondition
is an automatic mode that once started continues for 24 hours and then stops. A series of
electrical pulses breaks the crystalline form of lead sulfate to return these chemicals into useful service as part
of the battery chemistry.
2/10/20/40A
allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and the actual bat-
tery charge rate are monitored by the microprocessor and the charger will stop charging if the rate is too fast
or too slow for the battery size or condition.
100 A
to place the charger in an engine start sequence the charger must be in the 40 AMP charge mode. Once
this 100A button is pushed, the display will count down to “000.” When the “000” is reached, the Start Your
Engine LED will light. You may then start your vehicle.
