Stage 3 - top-off charge

Stage 3 is a top-off charge. The voltage is automatically

regulated and is reduced to a predetermined level while the

current is adjusted for a safe, effective battery charge. At the

conclusion of stage 3, the appliance will beep, signalling the

completion of the charging cycle.

Function pushbuttons (fig. A)

The function pushbuttons on the control panel (3), from left

to right, are:

SLOW/FAST pushbutton (11) (charge rate

selector step 2). This pushbutton allows the user

to select the charge rate based on the battery

size. This selection and the actual battery charge

rate are monitored by the microprocessor. The

battery charger will stop charging if the rate is too

fast or too slow for the battery size or condition.

Battery voltage pushbutton (10). This pushbutton

enables a check to measure the battery voltage.

Alternator check pushbutton (9). This pushbutton

enables a five-second check that measures the

battery voltage. This check is repeated at various

electrical load levels and the tests allow the user

to determine if the alternator can keep up with

the loads. It can indicate whether an alternator

service may be required.

Control panel LEDs (fig. A)

The following icons are shown on your battery charger:

Fault LED (5). Lights when any of several faults

are detected, see F01 through F05 Codes as

described in the "Troubleshooting" section, later

in this manual.

Reverse polarity LED (6) - lights when the battery

clamps (4) are incorrectly connected to the

battery terminals.

Battery voltage LED (7) - lights when the battery

voltage pushbutton (10) is pressed.

Alternator good LED (8) - lights when load or no

load checks show that the alternator is keeping

up with the electrical load.

Charge rate selection (fig. A)

X This appliance has two charge rate settings, accessed by

the SLOW/FAST pushbutton (11):

- 2 amps: smaller batteries, as in lawn mowers,

motorcycles, etc.

- 10 amps: automobiles and light trucks.

X After the battery clamps (4) are correctly connected, plug in

the battery charger to a 230 Vac outlet. The battery charger

will show a circulating pattern on the digital display (2), to

indicate that power has been applied. Select the proper

charge current rate based on battery size.

Charging the battery (fig. A)

X Press the SLOW/FAST pushbutton (11), the appliance

sounds a beep and displays the charging rate. The battery

charger starts charging at 2 amps automatically if the

SLOW/FAST pushbutton (11) is not pressed within 3

minutes after applying AC power.

X The battery charger will occasionally sound a beep and

display 0.0 during self-test or during the charging stage

changes.

X Pressing the SLOW/FAST pushbutton (11) again will

advance the charge rate to fast rate and displays FAS.

Pressing the pushbutton (11) again will turn OFF the

battery charger output and the digital display (2) will show

000.

Note: This selection and the actual battery charge rate are

monitored by the microprocessor and the unit will stop

charging if the selected rate is too fast or too slow for battery

size or condition.

X As the battery nears full charge capacity, the unit's output

will automatically drop to a lower charge rate.

X The digital display (2) shows the charge current. To view

the battery voltage, press the battery voltage pushbutton

(10). The battery charger will sound a beep and display the

battery voltage.

X Press the battery voltage pushbutton (10) again to display

the charge current.

X The digital display (2) shows FUL when the battery is fully

charged.

X Disconnect the ac power cord first, then the negative

clamp, and finally the positive clamp.

Automatic float charging (fig. A)

The automatic float charge feature is ideal for maintaining a

battery. It automatically tops off the battery as required to

keep the battery fully charged all the time.

X Keep the ac power and battery connected when the battery

has been fully charged.

X The battery charger monitors the battery and tops it off as

needed.

X The digital display (2) shows FLO when topping off the

battery and returns to FUL when completed.

X To view the battery voltage, press the battery voltage

pushbutton (10).

Warning! If the battery size is not known, charge at the 2 A rate.

DO NOT overcharge batteries.

Alternator check (fig. A)

Warning! Check only 12 Vdc systems.
