11.4Clean and store the charger in a dry location.

Note: During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to one of three states.

11.5Engine Starting Notes:

•Wait for cranking - The charger waits until the engine is actually being cranked before delivering 80 amps for engine start. The charger delivers charge at a rate of up to 12 amps while waiting and will reset if the engine is not cranked within 15 minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself for a 2A charge and 12V Regular battery.) While waiting for cranking, the digital display shows the battery voltage (it can’t be set to percent).

•Cranking - When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically deliver up to its maximum output (at least 80A) as required by the starting system for up to 5 seconds or until the engine cranking stops. The digital display shows a countdown of the remaining crank time in seconds. It starts at 5 and counts down to 0.

•Cool Down - After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 3-min- ute (180 second) cool down state. During this period, no settings can be changed. The buttons are ignored. The digital display indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 180 and counts down to 0. The 80A START LED blinks once every second. During the cool down period, no current is delivered to the battery. After 3 minutes, the 80A START LED will stop blinking and will light continuously, indicating that another crank cycle can be started. The digital display will change from displaying the countdown back to displaying the battery voltage. The CHARGING LED will then be lit.

OVERVIEW:

Using this battery charger is very simple. First, connect the battery and AC power following the precautions listed in sections 6 and 7. Then select the appropriate BATTERY TYPE and CHARGE RATE for your battery. The charger will then do everything automatically. This section explains a few details.

12.1CHARGING: If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CHECK (red) LED will light continuously until such a battery is detect- ed. Charging will not begin while the Check LED is on. When charging begins, the CHARGING (yellow) LED will be lit.

12.2AUTOMATIC CHARGE: When the 2A, 12A or 30A charge rate is selected, the charger is set to perform an automatic charge. When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain mode (see below) automatically after the battery is charged.

12.3ABORTED CHARGE: If charging can’t be completed normally, charg- ing will abort. When charging aborts, the charger’s output is shut off and the CHECK (red) LED and digital display will blink on and off (at opposite times). In that state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an
