Auto Equalise

2.4.7.

An automatic equalise charge can
be

programmed

to

begin

automatically according to defined
parameters: Profile, Cycle or Time
based.

Set By Profile

Any equalise settings are controlled
within the set charge profile,
configurable in the Charge Profile
tab. See Section 2.11.

Cycle Based

Cycle based equalise parameters
apply to a charger configured with
a dedicated profile, as the number
of charge cycles that charger
performs.

A charger set as APC Enabled uses
the battery module charge cycle
count to determine a battery’s
need for an equalise charge.

Time based

The equalise charge can be set to
occur at a specific time, weekday
and at a week-based interval.

Auto Watering Configuration

2.4.8.

Auto

watering

functions

are

triggered primarily by a charge
cycle frequency count configured
on the Configuration tab.

If a battery module is installed with
an electrolyte sensor, the module
can be configured to monitor

electrolyte levels, triggering an
auto watering cycle if required.

See your auto watering kit
installation

manual

for

full

hardware

and

software

configuration.

Auto Water Activation

1. Connect to the charger and

select the Configuration
tab.

2. Check the Auto Watering

Enable option and enter the
required values for Duration
and Frequency and click
Write

to

program

the

settings into the charger.

Duration

(seconds)

determines the length of time
the auto watering circuit is
open and providing water to
the battery.

Frequency

(cycles)

determines the number of
charge cycles per watering
activation.

Daily Charging Schedule

2.4.9.

The charging schedule provides a
graphical representation of a 24
hour period, with markers at 1 and
4 hour intervals.

Dragging the three white vertical
bars allows setting of lockout
periods (red) preventing charging.
This is useful where power
providers offer discounted power
pricing during off-peak demand
periods.

If a battery is connected and

the start/stop switch activated
during a lockout period, a
Start Time Delay counter on
the charger display will count
