OPERATION
OPERATION
Preliminary
1. Make sure that charger is installed and grounded as
instructed in this manual.
2. Make sure the charge control is set to the proper
cell size via the charge control DIP switch cell
selector.
3. Turn on main fused disconnect switch that supplies
AC power to charger.
4. Maintain electrolyte level in batteries to be charged,
as instructed by battery manufacturer. The volume
of electrolyte will expand during the charge.
Therefore, to avoid overfilling, do not add water
until the battery has received at least an 80%
charge. This will usually be reached at the time
gassing starts.
Normal or Daily Charge
WARNING: DO NOT connect a
battery to this charger if any LED
is lit. Do not disconnect a battery
from this charger while a charge
is in progress; otherwise, arcing
and burning of connector parts
or a battery explosion may result.
Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes
away. Ventilate when charging in
an enclosed area. Always shield
eyes when working near batteries.
1. Insure that battery size matches the charger.
(Number of cells and ampere - hour capacity are
within charger nameplate rating.)
2. Securely engage the battery and charger
connectors.
3. After a 5 second delay (all LED ’ s will be lit), the
charger will turn on. The “ Charge in Progress ” LED
will indicate charging current.
4. The “80% Charged ” LED will light when the battery
on charge reaches the 80% charged voltage.
5. The charger will automatically turn off and the
“ Charge Complete ” LED will light when the charge
has finished. The light will remain on until the
battery is disconnected from the charger.
NOTE: To disconnect battery from charger
before charge is complete, first press the
STOP key, then disconnect the battery
from the charger.
Equalize or Weekend Charge
The AC1000 features Auto Equalize every 5th charge
cycle and is shipped with auto equalize feature ena-
bled. With auto equalize disabled, an equalize charge
can be selected or de - selected for any charge cycle
using the sequence below.
1. Insure that battery size matches the charger.
(Number of cells and ampere - hour capacity are within
charger nameplate rating.)
2. Securely engage the battery and charger connect-
ors.
3. After a 5 second countdown (all LED ’ s will be lit),
the charger will turn on. The “ Charge in Progress ”
LED will indicate charging current.
4. Press the “ Equalize ” key. The “ Equalize ” LED will
light solid. Press the key again to cancel the equalize
charge.
NOTE: The equalize charge cannot be cancelled
once the battery reaches the equalize charging
period. Press the STOP key to terminate the
charge.
5. The “80% Charged ” LED will light when the battery
on charge reaches the 80% charged voltage.
6. The battery reaches the normal termination point
(pT/dV/dT or VT). However, the battery is charged an-
other 3 hours. The “ Equalize ” LED will flash during this
equalize period.
7. The charger will automatically turn off, and the
“ Charge Complete ” and the “ Equalize ” LED will light
when the equalized charge has finished. The LED ’ s
will remain on until the battery is disconnected from the
charger.
