RCC

Equalization before absorption phase {1291}

This configuration determines in the charge cycle, in which equalization will be activated, if the equalization is carried out after or before the absorption phase. The equalization phase is carried out before the absorption phase by default.

Equalization current {1290}

The equalization phase can be carried out with a limited current, which can be adjusted using this configuration. In all cases the current does not exceed that of the bulk charge phase {1138}

Equalization voltage {1164}

Set the voltage at which the equalization is carried out using this configuration.

Duration of equalization {1165}

Use this configuration to adjust the duration of the equalization. The equalization phase starts once the set voltage {1164} is reached. When the duration has run out, the charger automatically goes to the authorised phase that follows it.

Number of cycles prior to equalization {1166}

Equalization is not carried out at each charging cycle. This configuration allows the number of charging cycles to be adjusted where equalization is not active.

Equalization at set intervals {1284]

In the event of usage with few charge cycles, it may be necessary to carry out equalization cycles at set intervals and not with a number of set cycles. If this configuration is activated, a new battery charge cycle with an activated equalization phase with the programmed interval is started {1285}.

Weeks between equalizations {1285}

Use this configuration to determine the time intervals that separate the battery charge cycles with active equalization phases.

Should incomplete charge cycles occur (for example, when charging using solar generators), this function is also useful in order to limit the frequency of equalization cycles.
