3.3.5 Setting Equalize Timer
While in the “EQUALIZE MODE” menu, press SET with “EQUALIZE TIMER” selected in order to change the equalize
timer.
The Equalize Timer setting changes the amount of time that the charger remains in equalize charging cycle once
activated. When an equalize cycle is started the charger will remain in equalize mode until the time selected by
this setting has passed. The equalize timer can be set between 1-24 hours, in increments of 1 Hr. By default the
equalize timer is set for 8 hours. Pressing the SET button will store the value in memory and return to the
“EQUALIZE MODE” menu.
3.3.6 Setting Equalize Cycle
While in the “EQ MODE” menu, press SET with “EQUALIZE CYCLE” selected in order to change the equalize cycle.
The Equalize Cycle determines when the charger will go into an equalize charging. The cycles are “MANUAL”, “7
DAYS” and “30 DAYS”. The asterisk (*) on the display indicates the current setting. The default setting for the
equalize cycle is MANUAL. Pressing the SET button will store the value in memory. Press BACK to return to the
configuration menu.
3.3.7 Setting Current Limit
Press SET with “SET CURR. LIMIT” selected to change the maximum charging current of the MSM battery charger.
Pressing the UP button will increment the current limit by 1%. Pressing the DOWN button will decrement the
current limit by 1%. The range for the battery current limit is 50 – 100%. The default value is 100%. Please
consult the battery manufacturer for the maximum charging current of the connected batteries. Pressing the SET
button will store the value in memory and return to the configuration menu.
3.3.8 AC Mains Voltage
Press SET with “MAINS VOLTAGE” selected to view the Voltage from the AC mains. The Mains Voltage is not a
setting; it is simply a way to view the AC Voltage present to the MSM. Press BACK to return to the configuration
menu.
3.3.9 Thermal Derating
Press SET with “THERM.DERATING” selected to enable/disable Thermal Derating feature. The asterisk (*) on the
display indicates the current setting. When enabled, the unit will monitor the rectifier’s temperature. If the
ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, it will lower the current limit to 70% in order to prevent the charger from
overheating. LCD will display scrolling message “THERMAL PROTECTION –OUTPUT DERRATED TO 70%”. When
the ambient temperature returns below 50°C, the current limit will return to the previously set value. When
“Therm. Derating” is disabled, the unit will provide maximum required output regardless of ambient temperature.
