OVERVIEW

Using this battery charger is very simple. First, connect the battery and AC power following the precautions listed under "OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS". Then select the appropriate CHARGE TYPE and CHARGE RATE for your battery. The char- ger will then do everything automatically. This section explains a few details.

CHARGING: If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CHECK (red) LED wilt light continuously until such a battery is detected. Charging will not begin while the CHECK LED is on. When charging begins, the CHARGING LED will be lit.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF: When the 2A, 15A or 40A charge rate is selected, the charger is set to perform an automatic charge. When an automatic charge is performed, the charger stops charging automatically after the battery is charged.

ABORTED CHARGE: If charging can't be completed normally, charging will be aborted. When charging is aborted, the charger's output is shut off and the red CHECK LED and digital display blink on and off (at opposite times). In that state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset from after an aborted charge, either disconnect the battery or unplug the charger.

DESULFATION MODE: If a battery is left discharged for an extended period, it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to

ENGINE STARTING NOTES:

If the battery is disconnected during

the cool down period, the charger wilt reset.

a special mode of operation designed for such batteries. Activation of the special desulfation mode is indicated by blinking the CHARGING LED. If successful, nor-

mal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. The CHARGING LED will

then stop blinking and light continuously. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will be aborted and the CHECK (red) LED will blink.

COMPLETION OF CHARGING: Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED; when tit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation, if the DEEP CYCLE charge type was selected. For other charge types, the CHARGED LED comes on when the battery is charged enough for normal use.

MAINTAIN MODE: When the CHARGED (green) LED is tit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is also known as Float-Mode Monitoring. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small current, when necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level determined by the CHARGE TYPE selected. NOTE: For charge types other than DEEP CYCLE, the CHARGED LED might be lit before Maintain Mode is started.

GENERAL CHARGING NOTES: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efficient operation. Consequently, it is normal for the fan to start and stop when maintaining a fully charged battery. The fan does not run in Tester Mode.
