USER'S MANUAL
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The AR-TOP Charger performs an exclusive charge cycle that is composed by stages at constant current and
stages at pulsed current, with cool down pauses in between.
The management of the charging curve is totally automatic.
Depending on the programming of the Full Charge time window (Parameter 9), when the battery approaches
the gassing voltage the charger may suspend the charge (typical opportunity charge cycle). In this situation, the
display visualizes the message:
Where (hh.mm)A represents the real time at that moment, and (hh.mm)B represents the beginning of the Full
Charge / Overcharge time window.
If the charging curve WSa is selected, the charger will alternate charging pulses and cool-down pauses during
the finishing charge. During the pauses, the display visualizes the message “Cooling”.
EMERGENCY STOP
If the battery doesn't reach the gassing voltage within a predetermined time, the charger will suspend the
charge, and it will visualize the message
In this case, the charge cannot proceed, and it's necessary to disconnect the battery.
It's recommended to control the battery for damaged cells.
AC INPUT BLACK OUT
If there is a black-out of the AC input, while the charge is in progress, the charger will shut down, while the
charge parameters will remain in memory.
When the AC input will be recovered, the charger will restart the charge cycle automatically, and the display
will show the message:
