MANUAL EQUALIZE
The proper programming of the equalize & refresh modes is important for the correct operation of the charger.
Only qualied personnel should modify these settings.
ATTENTION!
The manual equalize function is intended for the users that prefer to manage the
equalization of the batteries personnally. It will extend the time of the charge cycle by 4
hours, and can be enabled by pushing the button located on the front panel during
the rst minutes of charge.
The display will show the message “Eq.On” (equalize on) to the display cycle of the
charge parameters, and the charge will proceed normally.
DAILY EQUALIZE
The dailty equalize function will extend all the charge cycles by 4 hours, and is useful to recover highly sulphated batteries.
Since it is a very intense equalize program and may tend to overcharge the battery, it's recommended to limit it’s use for short
periods and then to return to a normal equalize program. It's also recommended to survey the operation of the charger and
keep the temperaure of the battery under precise control while the daily equalize function is enabled.
It can be enabled by moving the dipswitch DS1-SW1 to the ON position (see the gure and picture on page 15).
The daily equalize function is disabled by default.
AUTO EQUALIZE AND REFRESH
The auto equalize and refresh mode is totally managed by the
MTL
control. Once the regular charge has been completed,
the charger will add 5 additional charge cycles of 30 minutes, with 14 hours and 30 minutes interval between each cycle.
This mode can be activated by moving the dipswitch
DS1-SW4
of the
MTL c
ontrol (see the gure and picture on page 15).
Auto equalize and refresh is enabled by default.
During the time interval between each equalization cycle, the display will show the scrolling message “End ELAPSEd x.x h”
(end elapsed) and when the equalization cycles are in progress, the display will show the scrolling message “EqUAL
ChArGInG” (equalize charging), followed by the charging current.
