Description
Type
Bulk (Boost)
or
Equalize
Voltage
Variable
This value is displayed in VDC and increases in 0.1 volt steps. If lead acid,
AGM or gel was selected as the battery type, Bulk (Boost) Voltage will be dis-
played. If NiCAD was selected as the battery type, Equalize Voltage will be
displayed. Select the Bulk (Boost)/Equalize Voltage for the battery.
Note:
Using the Remote Temperature Gauge will reduce or increase the
charger’s maximum output voltage depending on the temperature.
Float Voltage
Variable
The voltage at which the battery is maintained once the Bulk (Boost) (lead
acid, gel or AGM battery types) or Equalize (NiCAD battery type) charge is
complete.
Note:
For single stage charging, set Bulk (Boost)/Equalize Voltage and Float
Voltage to the same value.
Note:
Using the Remote Temperature Gauge will reduce or increase the
charger’s maximum output voltage depending on the temperature.
Bulk Duration
(lead acid, gel or
AGM battery
types)
Equalize (NiCAD
battery type)
Variable
The time the IMC Series
™
will stay in Bulk (Boost)/Equalize Voltage mode.
This value is in days and increases in 0.1 day steps.
Equalize Cycle
(lead acid and Ni-
CAD battery
types only)
Variable
Lead Acid Battery Type:
Number of days between 1 hr Equalization cycles. During the equalization
cycle, the voltage will be raised to 15.5 VDC (12 volt system) or 31.0 VDC (24
volt system) to help reform the batteries. As an example, setting the value to
25.0 days will run equalization for 1 hour every 25 days. Equalization will start
at a random time.
NiCAD Battery Type:
For NiCAD batteries the equalize cycle is equivalent to the settings for equal-
ize voltage and equalize duration set previously.
This value is in days and increases in 1.0 day steps.
This option can be turned OFF (lowest setting).
This option can also be turned on NOW for immediate Equalization (highest
setting). After the 1 hr equalization is complete, the Equalization will return to
the OFF mode.
Entering Setup during equalization automatically cancels the equalization op-
eration.
This option only available for Lead−Acid and NiCAD battery types.
