Dip Switches

REMOTE CONTROL PANEL

On the back of the Fleet Power remote control panel is a set of 8 dip switches which are used to make several adjust- ments. On the switch block, each switch is numbered . . .1 through 8 and the ON posi- tion is indicated. The switch settings can be changed at any time, even while the unit is operating. Following is a discussion of each adjustment. Refer to the table on page 11 for dip switch programming.

SWITCH 1 - Manual Equalizing Cy- cling 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 dip switch must always be returned to the OFF position. If it is left ON, an equalizing charge cycle will initiate every time the charger is engaged - this could cause battery dam- age.

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 equaliz- ing. See page 18 for a discussion of the theory and procedure for battery equalizing.

SWITCH #2 & #3 - Battery Type Gel cell and wet cell batteries have slightly different charge voltage requirements. 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:

Cool Wet Cell	< 80 degrees F.
Warm Wet Cell	> 80 degrees F.
Cool Gel Cell	< 80 degrees F.
Warm Gel Cell	> 80 degrees F.

Refer to the table on page 21 for the specific voltages for each setting.

SWITCH #4 - Auto Charge With the switch in the OFF position, the remote panel ON/ OFF switch only controls the inverter opera- tion. With the switch turned ON, it allows the power ON/OFF switch on the front of the remote to control the battery charger as well as the inverter.

SWITCH #5 & #6 - Not used for adjust- ments.

SWITCH #7 & #8 - Power Sharing These switches should be set to match the value of the circuit breaker which protects the incom- ing AC power. They may also limit the output current from the battery charger.
