CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

There are five LED indicators and five switches that make up the controls and indicators for this charger. Every

time a push button is pressed or the charger changes mode or charging stage, the charger sounds a single

beep tone. Refer to Figure 4A for locations of items on the Controls and Indicators panel.

FIGURE 4A

From left to right the push buttons are: 

ON/OFF -

this prepares the charger to be placed in any of the operating modes. Pressing the ON/OFF button

immediately stops any operating mode and the display shows the circulating pattern (Figure 4B).

Alternator Voltage Check

a five second check that measures the battery voltage. This check is repeated at

various electrical load levels and the tests allow the user to determine if the alternator can keep up with the

loads. It can indicate alternator service may be required.

Battery Recondition

is an automatic mode that once started continues for 24 hours and then stops. A series of

electrical pulses breaks the crystalline form of lead sulfate to return these chemicals into useful battery

electrolyte. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore. If 5 cycles does not improve battery performance,

discontinue and re-cycle the battery. 

2/10/20/40A

allows the user to select the charger rate based on battery size. This selection and the actual

battery charge rate are monitored by the microprocessor and the charger will stop charging if the rate is too fast

or too slow for the battery size or condition.

100 A

places the charger in an engine start sequence, this button will not be activated unless the charger is in the

40 amp charge mode, set the 2/10/20/40 amps button to 40 amps first to activate this button.
