Equalize Timer Hours
The Equalize timer hours setting changes the amount of time that the charger remains in the 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 1-144 hours, by default the Equalize
timer is set for 8 hours. The battery manufacturer recommendations should be followed.
Advanced Alarm Settings
The Advanced Alarm settings allow the user to access and modify additional parameters of the charger, such as
the Alarm Delays and Alarm Operation.
Alarm Delays
The Alarm Delays setting allows the user to determine the time delay between the alarm condition and alarm
indication. If an alarm condition returns to normal before the delay time, the alarm will not indicate. The delay
can be changed for Overload Alarm, End of Discharge Alarm, Ground Detection Alarm, AC Alarm, Low Current
Alarm, Low Voltage Alarm, High Voltage Alarm, and High Voltage Shutdown Alarm. The delay for all alarms is
adjustable between 1-300 seconds.
Alarm Operation
The Alarm Operation setting defines if the alarms relays latch. The relay latch setting can be changed for Summary
Alarm, AC Power Fail Alarm, Low Current Alarm, Low Voltage Alarm, High Voltage Alarm, Positive Ground Alarm,
and Negative Ground Alarm. If any alarm contacts are set to latch, the alarm will not clear until the ALARM RESET
button is pressed, even if the alarm condition returns to normal.
By default, no alarms are set as latching, except for High Voltage Shutdown (HVSD). All other alarms will clear
after the condition returns to normal.
NOTE:
The HVSD alarm latches by default and cannot be changed.
Temperature Compensation Settings
Temperature Compensation is a standard feature of the A36D charger. Temperature Compensation adjusts the
output voltage of the charger based on the temperature at the probe. To enable Temperature Compensation,
select “Temp. Comp.” in the Advanced Settings menu. Temperature Compensation is adjustable between OFF
and 0.001 to 0.004 volts/cell/°C.
Ex: The output of a 24L charger with Temperature Compensation set to
0.002V/Cell/°C would decrease by 0.048V for every 1°C increase in temperature.
Ground Detection Alarm Enable
This setting allows the user to select whether the Ground Detection alarm be enabled or disabled.
