CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
There are five LED indicators and five switches that make up the controls and indicators for this charger. Every
time a push button 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 push buttons are:
ON/OFF -
this prepares the charger to be placed in any of the operating modes. Pressing the ON/OFF button
immediately stops any operating mode and the display shows the circulating pattern (Figure 4B).
Alternator Voltage Check
a five second check that measures the battery voltage. This check is repeated 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 battery
electrolyte. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore. If 5 cycles does not improve battery performance,
discontinue and re-cycle the battery.
2/10/20/40A
allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and the actual
battery 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
places the charger in an engine start sequence, this button will not be activated unless the charger is in the
40 amp charge mode, set the 2/10/20/40 amps button to 40 amps first to activate this button.
