11.2 DISPLAY

The display by default shows the charging current during the charge cycle. The

display may be changed to show voltage, time or Amp-Hours by pressing the

FUNCTION button. The display may show additional messages as the charge cycle

progresses or a fault occurs.

11.3 PAUSE PUSH BUTTON

This PAUSE push button will halt the charge cycle. The battery can then be safely

unplugged for up to 10 minutes. If the battery is still connected after this time, the

charger will continue with the present charge cycle.

11.4 SMART START STAGE

The charger begins the charge cycle at the high rate current and continues until the

gassing voltage is reached. If the time to reach the gassing voltage level is equal to

or less than 2 minutes, then the charge cycle will be suspended and a battery

voltage test to determine if the battery was in a sulphated or heavily discharged

condition will be instigated.

During the suspension, the decay in battery voltage is monitored. At this time, the

display will show VPC only. If the battery voltage decays quickly the battery is

determined to be sulphated and the charger will continue to Stage 1 High Rate or I1

current level with a ‘sulphated battery’ fault set. If the battery voltage does not fall

quickly, the charger will terminate and Auto Balance stage will be entered.

If the time to reach the constant voltage level is greater then 2 minutes and less than

45 minutes, the gassing voltage is maintained until the current level is equal to the

Finish Rate or I2 current level. Charge will then terminate and Auto Balance stage

will be entered.

When the constant voltage stage U1 is entered then the display shows ‘StSt’

alternating with current.

When the Auto Balance stage is entered, the green LED will be illuminated and the

display will show ‘StSt’. The FUNCTION button can select charge information.
