terminal of the chosen battery bank. As Battery Bank 1 is for the main battery bank charging,
it is highly recommended to connect the Temperature Sensor to Battery Bank 1 when in use.
For parallel charger operation (by using two units of the same model):
•
Two batteries Temperature Sensors are required.
• Connect the RJ12 plug from the Temperature Sensor 1 / 2 to the corresponding
Temperature Sensor Port jack on charger 1 / 2 respectively.
• On both Temperature Sensor ends, simply connect the ring terminals (lugs) to the negative
terminal of the main battery bank.
Test the Charger Connection:
•
Switch AC branch breaker switch to ON.
• The display will turn on. Pressing the ‘Info’ key will toggle the display to show the factory
default setting. The charger is now ready to use.
5. UNIT OPERATION
Understanding the Charging Mechanism
•
The charger is a three-bank battery charger that is capable of charging a maximum of
three battery banks.
•
The charger is designed to have Bank 1 charge the main battery bank. Always use Bank
1 first when connected to a single battery bank.
•
At start, if the charger senses Battery Bank 2 and 3 have battery connected and the
battery voltage is greater than 11V, the charger will then concentrate on fully charging
Battery Bank 1 first until it reaches float stage. It will then switch to charge Battery Bank
2 and 3.
Or:
•
If the charger senses either Battery Bank 2 or 3 have battery connected and the battery
voltage is below 11V, it will cycle to charge Bank 1 for 15 minutes then Bank 2 and 3
together for 15 minutes. When the charger senses both Bank 2 and 3 reach 13V, it will
then concentrate on charging Bank 1 until it reaches the float stage. After that, it will then
concentrate on recharging Bank 2 and 3 (together) to float stage.
•
Once all three banks have reached the float stage, the charger will adjust the charging
voltage to the preset float voltage of the battery bank 1, and all three banks will be
connected in parallel for float stage charging. During the float stage charging stage, each
battery bank is isolated by an internal separation diode.
• In float stage, see the below chart for the maximum allowable current draw:

Maximum Float Current 60A
For charging GEL, AGM , Flooded batteries:
• The charger can be set to ‘Mode 2’, 2 stage charging (Bulk and Absorption stage charging
only- no float stage) or ‘Mode 3’, 3 stage charging – (Bulk, Absorption, and Float stage
charging).
• Each battery bank can have its own maximum charging current and absorption-to-float
mode current settings.
For charging Lithium batteries:
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD! When using the Lithium mode to set the battery Charging parameters,
please consult the battery manufacturer on all voltage and current settings. Using wrong setting to
charge the Lithium battery may overcharge and damage the battery, resulting in battery explosion
