Advanced Programming

Accessing The Advanced Programming Mode

The ARS-5 provides a broad range of advanced user adjustments in its password-protected Advanced Program mode. 
The Advanced Program mode is accessed via the Basic Program mode. To access the Advanced Program mode:

With the regulator activated, TOUCH / HOLD the magnet to the RED dot on the regulator’s epoxy potting.

1. 

The regulator will cycle to PRO. RELEASE the magnet from the switch.

2. 

The  regulator will cycle through all of the Basic Program modes; bA, bEL, Ab2, dSP and bdL -- followed by three dashes.

3. 

TOUCH / HOLD when the three dashes are displayed. The dashes will be replaced by AP0 followed by AP1, and so on.

4. 

When the display indicates AP5, RELEASE.

5. 

The display will cycle to PrA, indicating entry into the Advanced Programming mode.

Advanced Programming Modes

Making Advanced Programming Adjustments

Once accessed, the Advanced Program mode allows the user to adjust time, voltage and temperature settings for most 
operational modes. When the desired mode is indicated, TOUCH / HOLD the magnet to the RED dot on the epoxy pot-
ting. When the reed switch is engaged, the values for the various modes will scroll upward or downward. To reverse the 
direction of scroll:

REMOVE the magnet from the reed switch.

1. 

Wait for the mode indicator to be displayed.

2. 

TOUCH / HOLD when the mode indicator is displayed. The values for that mode will begin to scroll in the opposite 

3. 

direction. Continue to HOLD until the desired value is displayed.
REMOVE the magnet from the RED dot. The mode indicator will be displayed again, followed by the indicator for the 

4. 

next Advanced Programming mode. The Advanced Programming Modes are as follows:

Start Delay.

 

Controls time from regulator activation to start of charging. Factory preset at one second. 

Adjustable to a maximum of 999 seconds. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED 
to display dLc code. Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.

Advanced  Program  Mode.

 

Once  the  correct  password  is  used  to  unlock  the Advanced  Program 

mode,  the  PrA  display  will  be  immediately  followed  by Advanced  Programming  modes. The Advanced 
Programming modes include:

Compensation  Limit.

 

Controls maximum allowable temperature compensated system voltage. Ad-

justment spans from 14.1 to 15.9 volts. Default is 14.8V. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and 
wait for LED to display CL code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.

High Voltage Alarm.

 

Allows user to set the voltage required to activate an alarm. Default value is one 

volt above bulk charging voltage.

Bulk Voltage.

 

Controls the target voltage for bulk charge mode. Starts at value set by battery program 

in use. Adjustment spans from 14.1 to 14.8 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait 
for LED to display bv code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.

Bulk Time.

 

Controls time setting for bulk mode. Standard value set is 18 minutes. Settings are from 6 

minutes to 6 hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display b1c code. 
Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.

Absorption Voltage.

 

Controls the target voltage for absorption charge mode. Starts at value set by 

battery program in use. Adjustment spans from 13.9 to 14.7 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release 
magnet and wait for LED to display Av code. Re-activate and release when desired value is indicated.

Absorption Time.

 

Controls time setting for absorption mode. Standard value set is 18 minutes. Set-

tings are from 6 minutes to 6 hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to 
display A1c code. Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.
