In the Settings Menu, the user can access and change various parameters used by the A36D. To access the
Settings Menu, press the MENU button, select “Settings Menu”, and press the ENTER button.
Once in the Settings Menu, the user can navigate the menus with the up and down arrows. To enter a submenu,
use the ENTER button. The BACK button returns to the previous menu. When making a selection, the ENTER
button will store the value and step back. The BACK button will not save the change and will go a step back. At
any point, the settings menu can be exited, with or without saving the settings.
Return to Defaults
The 4
th
option in the Settings Menu is “Return to Defaults”. This option resets all user-adjustable settings to the
factory defaults. It is important to note that the factory defaults are not necessarily the correct settings for the
specific DC system. Before the charger is shipped, adjustments are made at the factory using the same calibration
procedure. If the charger is reset to default, these factory changes may be reset.
EXAMPLE:
The software default for a 48V charger is based on 24 lead cells, a 26L charger is factory adjusted
for a higher voltage. Returning to default will return the charger to a 24L voltage setting.
3.4.1.1 Float/Eq Voltage
The Float/Eq Voltage submenu provides access to change the Float Voltage and Equalize Voltage Settings.
Float Voltage Setting
The float voltage adjustment is set at the factory at 2.17 V/C (LA), 2.25 V/C (VRLA) or 1.4 V/C (NC). The Float
voltage increments by 0.1V. Select “Float Voltage Setting” and press then ENTER button. Press the UP and/or
DOWN buttons until the required voltage level is displayed. Press ENTER to store the setting or BACK to cancel.
The approximate adjustable range is as follows:
2.02 – 2.40 V/C (LA) (VRLA)
1.29 – 1.55 V/C (NC)
Equalize Voltage Setting
The Equalize voltage adjustment is set at the factory at 2.33 V/C (LA), 2.27 V/C (VRLA) or 1.55 V/C (NC). The
Equalize voltage increments by 0.1V. Select “Equalize Voltage Setting” and press then ENTER button. Press the
UP and/or DOWN buttons until the desired voltage is displayed. Press ENTER to store the setting, BACK to cancel.
The approximate adjustable range is as follows:
2.15 – 2.50 V/C (LA) (VRLA)
1.40 – 1.70 V/C (NC)
