7. Charger Set-Up

This screen allows changes to the FLEXmax 80’s recharging voltage set points—Current Limit, Absorb and Float (for an explanation of battery charging, see pages 81-82):

The presently selected numerical value will have an arrow “ G ” to the left of it.

Pressing < > selects the value to be changed.

You may need to re-enter the password to change these settings.

The default charger output current limit setting is 80 amps and is adjustable from 5-80 amps. An appropriate breaker must be used between the battery and the FLEXmax 80.

Change Absorbing and Float set points using this screen if the battery manufacturer’s recommenda- tions are different than the default values. Otherwise, see page 84 for suggested recharging voltage set points.

From the MAIN screen, press or to move the "“ to the left of the Charger function and then press the <GO> soft key. This will open the Charger Set-Up screen.

Note: If a battery remote temperature sensor (RTS)

is used, set the ABSORB and FLOAT setting voltage based on a 25°C / 77°F setting. These are typically the manufacturer’s set points (always consult the battery

manufacturer’s recommendations). RTS compen- sated voltage values can be viewed in the Advanced

menu screen under the RTS Compensation heading. If an RTS is not in use, please see the Non-Battery Temperature Compensated System values (page 83) and adjust the ABSORB/FLOAT values accordingly.
