VOLT AND CHARGE RATE SELECTOR

The VOLT AND CHARGE RATE SELECTOR allows you to select the correct battery voltage and amp draw rate to match your charging needs. Read the following operating instructions for making the proper settings for charging a battery.

When you first start charging a battery, the amp reading will be high. As the battery becomes charged, the reading will decrease.

To determine the amount of amps being drawn by the battery:

1.Press the DISPLAY MODE button until the AMPS LED lights.

a.As the battery charges at 50 amps, the reading will decrease to 15 or 20 amps at full charge. You should stop charging the battery at this time.

b.When charging at 15 amps, the display should show 15 amps for a discharged battery and 7-8 amps for a fully charged battery. You should stop charging the battery at this time.

c.At the 2 amp charge rate, little or no display

change will occur.

NOTE: The digital display will read OLor Overload if more than 50 Amps are supplied to the battery. Overload means too high a charging rate. Lower the charging rate to continue.

To determine an accurate reading of your battery’s voltage before you charge:

1.Push the switch located on the front panel CHARGE SELECTOR/AIR COMPRESSOR to

CHARGE.

2.Press the DISPLAY MODE button so the VOLT- AGE LED lights.

3.Connect the battery charger as outlined in “Charg- ing Your Battery” on page 10. The voltage will be displayed.

NOTE: If a battery has recently been charged or in a vehicle that has been run recently, turn on the vehicle’s headlights for a few minutes before reading the meter to avoid getting a false reading from a surface charge.

4.Turn off vehicle’s headlights and read the digital display.

5.To turn OFF the charger, push the switch located on the front panel to OFF. The charger will shut off.

6.Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet.

7.Disconnect the battery charging clamps as out- lined in “Charging Your Battery” on page 10.

TIMER

The timer is designed to allow the battery to be charged for a designated amount of time. To accu- rately charge your battery, you must know the size of the battery in ampere hours or reserve capacity in units, as well as the state of charge. Since this infor- mation is not known by the charger, the timer limit is set at 2.25 hours to prevent the battery from over- charging to a point where it can be severely damaged. If you do not know the charge state of your battery, set the timer at one hour or less.

TO SET THE TIMER:

1.Press the ￿ symbol for less time and the ￿ symbol for more time.

2.The Timer LED will light and digital display will show the time in minutes.

3.To turn the timer off, press the ￿ symbol until the digital display reads OFF, or, push the CHARGE SELECTOR/AIR COMPRESSOR switch to OFF.

TIMER HOLD

The Timer Hold feature overrides the timer allowing the charger to continue charging for over 2.25 hours. This feature is most often used when the charging rate is 2 or 15 amps. Using this feature requires closely monitoring the charge time and turning off the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: When the battery is fully charged, the charger and timer will NOT automatically turn off. It is impor- tant to monitor the charge level. Not doing so may cause damage to your battery.

To activate the hold feature:

1.Press the ￿ symbol until the Digital Display reads

HLD.

2.To release the Timer Hold, press the ￿ until the digital display reads OFF or, push the CHARGE SELECTOR/AIR COMPRESSOR switch to OFF.
