3.4.2 Stop/Start Rocker Switch
Connect the battery to the charger using the supplied cable and set the toggle switch to START, make sure the
big red LED lamp illuminates on the charger.
3.4.3 Charge Complete
A completed charge cycle is indicated by the big green LED lamp on the charger being illuminated.
3.4.4 Fault indicators
A flashing big red LED lamp indicates a non-urgent alarm has occurred during the charge cycle. No action is
required unless it happens on every charge cycle. When both the red and green LED lamps flash alternately an
urgent alarm has occurred, the charge has stopped mid cycle, be aware the battery may be only partially
charged or not charged at all.
3.4.5 Equalize Next Cycle
Before a charge is started it is possible to manually set the controller to perform an “Equalize Charge” at the
end of a normal charge cycle. The battery however will need to remain connected following the completion of
the normal charge until the equalize lockout time has expired, normally 4 hours. If the battery is unplugged
before the lockout expires the request for Equalize will be cleared.
To enable Equalize Charge for the next cycle, using the buttons on front panel of the charger perform the
following:
•
Press the UP button twice to select the “Eq. Next Cycle” function
•
Push ENTER to bring up “Disabled”
•
Push UP to select “Enabled”
•
Push ENTER to accept the change
•
Push DOWN to select “Store”
•
Push ENTER to store
•
Push DOWN to return to “Connect Battery”
3.4.6 Battery Disconnection
Always set the rocker switch to STOP position before removing the connector during the charge cycle to avoid
damage to the poles of the connector and creating sparks in the vicinity of a gassing battery. The connector
should NEVER be unplugged during a charge cycle without setting the rocker switch to STOP position.
If the charge cycle is complete and the charger is not putting out heavy current the connector can simply be
unplugged without setting the rocker switch to STOP position. This will initiate an Auto Start option.
