VII. Programming Modes
A. Basic Programming
The Max Charge features six selectable programs for commonly used battery types: standard flooded, deep
cycle flooded, gel, AGM, Optima spiral wound, halogen (voltage sensitive), as well as a default program that's
safe for most battery types. To select the program that best suits your battery type:
1.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If an oil pressure switch is used, it may be necessary to start the engine
to engage the regulator.
2.
Once the regulator is activated and the numeric display is illuminated, activate the regulator's reed switch with the
supplied magnetic screwdriver. Continue to hold the magnetic tip of the screwdriver against the reed switch.
3.
The display will indicate entry into the Basic
Programming mode with the code
"
PRO
"
. As you con-
tinue to hold the magnet to the reed switch, the regula-
tor will scroll through the battery program choices
shown in the chart at right.
4.
Select the preset programming that best suits your bat-
tery type. When the program number matching your
battery type is indicated on the display, release the
switch by lifting the screwdriver off of the epoxy pot-
ting.
5.
Should you miss the desired program setting, simply
re-activate and hold the switch as described on the pre-
vious page. Once the programming display begins to
scroll upward, release the switch and wait for the
"PRO"
code. When the
"PRO"
code is illuminated, re-
activate and hold the magnet to the switch. The display
will scroll in the opposite direction. Release the magnet
from the switch as soon as the display indi-
cates your intended battery program.
6.
After the switch is released, the regulator dis-
play will indicate
"PRO"
. If further adjust-
ments are required, re-activate the switch as
previously described. If no additional adjust-
ments are made, the display will indicate
"SAu"
, at which point, the regulator will save
any changes to the programming and the reg-
ulator will restart.
7.
Programming success can be monitored by
the watching the regulator's display after
restart. The short display should indicate
both program number and program code, as
described on the chart shown above.
Mastering The Magnetic Reed Switch
‘ACTIVATE-RELEASE’
Refers to the activation and immediate deactiva-
tion of the switch by lowering the magnetic programming tool onto the
potting covering the reed switch, and immediately deactivating the switch
by removing the magnet from the epoxy. An LED dot between the second
and third digits on the display will indicate switch activation.
‘ACTIVATE - HOLD - RELEASE’
Typically used during programming,
this action requires holding the magnet to the switch until desired values
are shown on the display. Once the desired setting is reached, the magnet
is removed to deactivate the switch.
Note:
Program function will alternately cycle up or down each time the
programming mode is activated. If you miss your desired program value,
release the switch, wait for the program mode display (eg., PRO), and re-
activate the switch. The direction of scroll will reverse. Any advanced pro-
gramming values will be retained within the regulator’s memory until the
preset battery programming is reset.
