TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
•
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The DC/DC charger has a built-in overheat and an
overload electronic circuit. This protects the unit from being damage if overheated or over-
loaded and will automatically decrease the charging current. Once the units internal tempera-
ture decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
•
SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION: The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the battery
voltage doesn’t reach a certain voltage within a certain time, the unit will stop charging as
it’s highly likely that you’re attempting to charge a severely discharged or heavily sulphated
battery. If any of the stages time out, the charger will immediately stop charging in order to
protect the battery. The Yellow LED 4 will Flash.
•
REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger output leads
are connected reverse polarity, the RED fault LED 8 will come on and the charger will be
disabled.
•
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger will automatically turn off if the output leads are
short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger from being damaged if
the positive and negative output accidently touch each other while the charger is turned on.
BATTERY TYPES & CAPACITY:
•
Suits 12V conventional lead acid batteries (VRLA) AGM, Calcium, Gel & Wet.
The Ah (Ampere Hours) capacities shown below are to be used as a general guide only. Some
batteries may be able to handle a higher charge current. Refer to the battery manufacturers
specifications and recommendations for your charging requirements.
Battery Capacity: Charging
< 250 Ah
Battery Capacity: Maintaining
< 400 Ah
CHANGING BATTERY MODE:
•
To change the Battery Mode / charge algorithm to suit your charging requirements you will
need to use the Mode Button. (Note: You cannot change the Battery Type when the Output
is connected. The Mode Button will only work when the Input is connected and the ON/OFF
switch is activated (ON)). Simply Press the Mode Button to select the appropriate Battery Type.
Charging Voltages for each battery type are shown in the specifications on page #3.
