Equalize or Three-Stage Charging (Switch #1) Cycling this switch ON for 1 second, then OFF, will initiate an equalizing charge cycle. The battery charger must be engaged before cycling the switch. The switch must always be left in the OFF position. If it is left ON, an equalizing charge cycle will initiate every time the charger is engaged - this could cause battery damage. The equalizing cycle is timed to last 8 hours from the time the switch is cycled, at which point the charger resumes normal charging in the float stage. The BATTERY LED blinks when equalizing. Refer to page 3–14for a discussion of the theory and procedure for battery equalizing.

Battery Type (Switch #2 and 3) Gel cell and wet cell batteries have slightly different charge voltage requirements and optimum battery charging is temperature dependent. For these reasons, the DIP switches allow four different battery charger voltage set points, depending on battery type and ambient temperature:

Battery Type and	Switch Position
Temperature	Switch 2	Switch 3
Cool Wet Cell (< 27 °C)	Off	Off
Warm Wet Cell (> 27 °C)	On	Off
Cool Gel Cell (< 27 °C)	Off	On
Warm Gel Cell (> 27 °C)	On	On

See page 3–16for the specific voltages for each setting.

Auto Charge (Switch #4) With the switch in the OFF position, the remote panel ON/OFF switch only controls the inverter operation. With the switch turned ON, this switch allows the power ON/OFF switch on the front of the remote to control the battery charger as well as the inverter.
