1.5.1
Charging
When a battery is connected to the charger & mains applied, charge will start automatically.
The charge status indicator will show yellow during bulk charge or yellow and green alter-
nating during the second stage of charge.
1.5.2
Charge Complete
When charge is complete, the charge status indicator will show constant green.
The battery should be left connected to the charger until required; under these conditions
the battery will receive periods of auto-balance / refresh charge to maintain it in the fully
charged condition. During these periods, the charge status indicator will be green blinking.
1.5.3
Removing the battery
The battery can only be disconnected when charging current has stopped flowing.
Therefore, the pause button must be pressed before disconnection. A second press of
the pause key will clear the pause condition and continue charge.
When the charger is paused the charge status indicator will flash blue, indicating that it is
safe to remove the battery.
If the pause mode is entered but the battery is not removed within 10 minutes, the charge
will automatically continue.
1.5.4
Equalise Mode (Profile Dependant)
Periodically, low maintenance batteries require additional charging to equalise all the cells
to the same charge state, this should be performed after the battery is topped up.
Equalisation charge can be set at any time during the charge cycle by pressing the pause
button for 5 seconds. Repeating this action will cancel equalisation.
To indicate that equalise has been set the charge status indicator will flash green and red
alternating.
To indicate that equalise has been cancelled the charge status indicator will switch off for 5
seconds then return to the previous display.
Only one equalisation cycle is allowed per charge cycle.
If enabled, the charger will automatically perform the equalise function after the standard
charge has been completed.
1.5.5
Battery Recover Mode
If a battery is connected to the charger that is below the normal operating voltage an incor-
rect battery fault (F1) will be displayed. However, if the battery voltage is between 1 and
1.5VPC, battery recover mode is available. This mode employs a special charging technique
to recover batteries that have been stood for a long time or have been over discharged.
