If the battery remains connected, in order to keep it charged,
compensation and subsequent equalisation charging
operations will be initiated automatically, depending on the
type of battery.
2. If an equalisation charging operation has been
programmed (unsealed lead/acid battery), this is
initiated automatically.
If this is not the case, equalisation charging can be
initiated manually: please refer to the section on
Completion of charging with equalisation.
3. If the green light is flashing, the battery is in its resting
phase.
Wait until the light stops flashing.
4. Set the Start/Stop switch to “0”.
5. Disconnect the battery, which is now ready for use.
Completion of charging with equalisation
Equalisation only concerns unsealed lead/acid batteries. It
can be initiated either manually or automatically.
Manual initiation
1. As soon as charging is complete (the green light is
permanently lit or is flashing - Fig.2, No. 7), press
the
button.
The messages
EQUAL I
= (equalisation current) and
EQUAL
H = (remaining equalisation time) (Nos. 1 and 2
below) indicate that equalisation has been initiated.
2. The battery is ready for use as soon as the green light
(Fig. 2, No. 7) illuminates.
Automatic initiation
If equalisation has been programmed (Configuration Menu /
Equal time, Delayed equal and Auto equal set to ON),
equalisation charging is initiated automatically.
Furthermore, if the battery remains connected, in order to
keep it charged, maintenance charges (compensation and
subsequent equalisation charging operations) will be initia-
ted automatically, depending on the type of battery. The
same information as for manual initiation is displayed (see
above).
