silence the buzzer. It is a short term feature. If you wish to turn the buzzer off forever, please press the SETUP button
down for 40 flashes.
to view the status of the charger - do a quick press.

Display temperature
If you wish to view the temperature at the battery temperature sensor (if installed) - you can view it here. The
temperatures that can view are between -30DegC and +2DegC on the front panel. If you wish to view a full range of
temperature then you shall need the remote control BBURC.
Force unit to float
We recommend that you understand what float means before committing to float mode. It is basically a lower
maintenance voltage - fairly harmless. Once you have forced the unit into float mode it shall remain there, forever - until
you either do a factory reset or repeat this procedure.
Force unit to 1/2 power mode
This mode shall put the charger into half power mode. As the name suggests, if you have a 60A charger it shall put the
maximum current to 30A. A 30A BB charger shall reduce to 15A (approximately) etc... The BB shall remain at half power
forever, until either a factory reset is done or this method is repeated. You may need this mode if you want to reduce the
current for the sake of keeping within the maximum charge rate of your batteries or due to pre-existing cabling being
insufficient for the full power of the charger.
Force unit to night mode
This mode shall put the charger into half power mode (as above) but only for 8 hours at a time. The BB shall be on half
power mode for these 8 hours only. It shall then resume as normal full power after these 8 hours. You have to repeat this
procedure every time you need it.
Turn the charger to standby
If you wish to put your BB into standby then apply this mode. Standby is a one off setting. It shall stop the boost of the BB but
shall remain on - pending a button press to get out of standby. The BB shall come out of standby during the next charge
cycle, so is not a permanent setting. To indicate that standby is on LEDs 12 and 15 shall flash. Press any button to take out of
standby.
Turn charger off
If you wish to turn your BB off then apply this mode. Off means the BB shall stop charging awaiting you to press either button.
To turn off is a one off indefinite setting. It shall stop the boost of the BB - pending a button press to get out of standby. The BB
shall turn on again only when a button is pressed. If the charger is disconnected and reconnected the BB shall remain off,
also, during power cycles it shall remain off. To display the charger being off the top row of LEDs 12, 13,14,15 shall flash.
OEM lock
If you are an installer and wish to make settings to the BB and then lock the charger in these settings, to prevent tampering
by the end user, then apply OEM lock. Once this mode has been applied NO options can be adjusted. Factory reset is the
only method to remove this feature and restores the BB to defaults. The BB demonstrates OEM lock by flashing 4 Red
corner LEDs.
