3] CONSTANT FINISH CURRENT
- To fully charge the batteries while avoiding damage to the
batteries, a lower constant current is delivered to the batteries. Charge is terminated when battery
is fully charged. During the charging process, the rate of voltage rise over time is constantly
monitored. As long as the voltage rises faster than pre-established parameters, the control circuit
will keep the charger on until finishing the 3-step I-E-I charge cycle. Otherwise, the charge cycle
will be terminated. A 16 to 20 hour backup timer is also programmed into the microprocessor. This
will terminate the charge cycle in 16 to 20 hours in the event that a normal shutoff does not occur.
Your charger may incorporate a different charge profile than explained above. If you wish further
information on your specific charger you can call the factory. Please have nameplate data
information available.

Normal Operation
!
WARNING
- FOR DUAL VOLTAGE MODELS MAKE SURE TO MOVE VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH TO
PROPER POSITION TO MATCH AC SUPPLY VOLTAGE.
!
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded single-
phase (3 wire) outlet. Refer to grounding instructions.
1. For dual AC voltage chargers set switch to match AC supply voltage.
2. Plug AC cord into grounded receptacle.
3. Plug DC cord into battery receptacle.
4. All LED's will flash.
5. Charge will begin after a few seconds.
6. WARNING: This charger may be provided with a manual selectable charge profile
that allows for proper charging of:
(W) = Wet gassing lead acid batteries
or
(S) = Sealed valve regulated (SVR), gelled/agm type lead acid batteries.
Verify charge profile setting after charge begins. A flashing incomplete LED prior to the 80% LED
coming in indicates a (S) sealed valve regulated profile has been selected. If not flashing, charger is
in a (W) wet charging profile.
