3.0 CONFIGURATION

Setting Parameters (continued)

CHARGED Indicator Setup

The CHARGED indicator LED can be programmed to light when the batteries are fully charged based on several different parameters:

Trigger the LED when voltage only parameters are met

Trigger the LED when voltage and current parameters are met

Trigger the LED when voltage and time parameters are met

Trigger on Voltage Only

When the TM500A is setup to trigger on voltage only, the CHARGED LED illuminates when the voltage reaches the level programmed into the TM500A.

NOTE: This mode must be setup first before setting the Voltage and Current or Voltage and Time modes.

Step A Setting the Fully-Charged Voltage Level

1A. Press the SELECT button until the Voltage LED ( V ) is illuminated.

2A. Press the SELECT and RESET buttons simulataniously until the LED display flashes.

3A. Press the RESET button to change the displayed voltage to the desired fully-charged voltage level:

For a 12 VDC system, set this voltage between 14.3–14.9 volts for lead-acid batteries.

For a 24 VDC system, set this voltage between 28.6–29.6 volts for lead-acid batteries.

For a 48 VDC system, set this voltage between 57.2–59.2 volts for lead-acid batteries.

Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendation for other types of batteries.

4A. Press the SELECT button to accept the new value. The selection range is between 10 to 64.9 VDC.

5A. Proceed to Step B.

NOTE: In 32–48 VDC systems, whenever a voltage above 35.0 volts is selected, the display multiplies the actual voltage by 2 for the TM48 (48 V shunt adapter).
