Control Center Panel

The Select button gives the user the ability to select the display out- puts, depending on what is desired.

The Function button allows users to change the operation from Charging to test modes (Battery Charge Acceptance, Starter, or Alternator test).

NOTE: The multi-purpose LED display changes function according to how the charger is being used:

As an AMMETER, it indicates the amount of amps flowing from charger into battery.

It keeps track of all accumulated amp hours during a test.

It serves as a VOLTMETER, indicating live voltage as soon as clamps are attached. During TIMER operations, it shows either remaining time or elapsed time.

7.2 TIMER SWITCH

The Timer switch on the upper-right turns ON the charger by setting a time. This must be done before the charger is plugged in.

The OFF position disconnects the output of the charger. By rotating the dial clockwise the output is turned ON for a duration of time determined by the number of minutes at which the dial is set. The HOLD function can be used if charging times longer than 120 minutes are required. While in the timing phase, the output can be turned off by rotat- ing the dial counterclockwise to the OFF position.
