OPERATION
With no battery connected, the control displays ‘ CONNECT BATTERY ’ and the keypad will be flashing
GREEN. When a battery is connected, a lamp test is performed. The charge then begins and the keypad
will be flashing AMBER. The display show ‘
CP1 ’ along with the charging amps. If equalize is active, an ‘ = ’
icon appears on the display to indicate an equalizing charge.
When phase 1 is completed, the charger starts phase 2 of the charge cycle. The display shows ‘
CP2 ’ along
with the charging amps. Depending on the charger and battery type, the charger may utilize up to 4 phases
to complete a charge.
During the equalize portion of the charge cycle the display shows ‘
EQU ’ along with the charging amps.
When a charge is finished, the charger automatically turns off. The display shows a full battery icon and the
keypad will be solid GREEN. The battery may then be disconnected at any time.
EQUALIZE CHARGE
Over time batteries can develop inequalities in cell charge. This can lower the effective capacity of the
battery and shorten life. An equalizing charge re-balances the charge in the battery cells. Perform an
equalize charge if any of the following conditions exist:
1. On flooded batteries, the specific gravity of any cell at the end of charge is 20 points less than the
average of all the cells.
2. The on-charge voltage of any cell at the end of charge is 20 millivolts less than the average of all the
cells.
3. The battery has been stored for 30 days.
The control can perform an equalize automatically based on the number of charge cycles or on a specific
day of the week. Normal equalize consists of an additional charge time at the end of a normal charge cycle.
The control can also perform an equalize charge when requested manually. Press the left arrow (=) button.
The equalize icon appears below the data display signifying an equalize cycle has been selected. If no
battery is connected, the equalize occurs on the next charge cycle to allow the cells to equalize their charge.
The auto-equalize or manual equalize charge can be cleared by pressing the left arrow (=) button again.
The next auto equalize charge occurs after the programmed number of charge cycles or day of the week.
