Setup
◊ Set Battery Type (Custom) –
This selection allows you to individually adjust the fl oat,
absorb, and equalization charge voltage settings and to set an equalization time for your
batteries. The following Custom battery settings display only if Custom has been selected from
the 03 Battery Type menu. Use these settings to determine the battery’s absorption, fl oat, and
equalization voltages, and the maximum amount of time spent equalizing.
CAUTION: To avoid damage during battery charging or equalization, consult the battery
manufacturer to ensure the best charge settings are used for your type of batteries.
□ Absorb Volts –
Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held constant during an
Absorption cycle.
Default: 14.4 Volts (12v), 28.8 Volts (24v), 57.6 Volts (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0 Volts (12v), 24.0-32.0 Volts (24v), 48.0-64.0 Volts (48v)
□ Float Volts – Sets the level at which the charging voltage is held
constant
during a
Float
cycle.
Default: 13.2 Volts (12v), 26.4 Volts (24v), 52.8 Volts (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0 Volts (12v), 24.0-32.0 Volts (24v), 48.0-64.0 Volts (48v)

□ Hold CV Chg Volts – This setting holds the battery voltage at the CV Chg Volts setting.
This is for a system that requires a constant charge voltage to be present at all times

Time –
This setting is a safety feature that ensures abnormal
conditions do not cause the charger to hold batteries at a high voltage for a prolonged period
of time. This menu sets a maximum time the charger is allowed to operate in either the
Constant Current or Constant Voltage charge modes. If the charger reaches the maximum
charge time setting, it will transition to the Silent charge stage. If using the OFF setting, the
charger will stay in the Constant Current and Constant Voltage charge modes indefi nitely.
Default: Time = 12.0 Hrs
Range: OFF, 0.1-25.5 Hrs
ο
Set DC Volts to Recharge – This setting determines the DC voltage set-point to
which the batteries are allowed to fall—while the charger is in the Silent charge cycle—before
the charger restarts and recharges to the CV Chg Volts setting. This setting should be at
the lowest DC volts level that you want the batteries to fall before starting a new charge.
Default: DC Volts to Recharge = 12.0 (12v), 24.0 Volts (24v), 48.0 Volts (48v)
Range: 12.0-16.0 Volts (12v), 24.0-32.0 Volts (24v), 48.0-64.0 Volts (48v)
