current-limiting circuitry. This circuitry continuously
monitors the charger output current and is set to limit the
When the charger is connected to the battery, the
reverse polarity protection circuit determines if the
connection is of the proper polarity. If the polarity is
When the charger is properly connected to the battery
and AC power is applied to the charger, the charger
operates in the constant-current mode until the battery
voltage rises to the preset float level. At the preset float
level, the charger will switch to the constant-voltage
The charger will provide temperature compensation of
–2 mV/ C per cell over the ambient temperature range
of –40 C (–40 F) to +60 C (+140 F). This feature will
automatically adjust the float voltage setting to prevent
When AC input is applied, the AC input fuse will open to
protect the power transformer from damage due to a
short circuit condition. The fuse may also open if
The DC output fuse will open and protect the power
transformer from damage if the current limit setting has
been disabled or set to its maximum. It will also open if
The Power On lamp is connected across the power
