a battery string is not connected, wire the load directly to the charger DC output terminals. Refer to the
Section 2 Installation as necessary.

1) Turn Off battery temperature compensation. (Note: If the float voltage is set at high or low battery
temperature with battery temperature compensation turned on, compensation may adjust the charger
voltage by as much as 2 volts.)
2) If not performed previously, configure the charger by editing the factory setup to set the FLoat voltage,
EQualize voltage, and other parameters to accommodate the application.
9. Thoroughly test the setup to ensure that all configurable parameters are correct for the application. Test the
alarm circuits to ensure correct activation and annunciation.
10. Operate the system for 15-20 hours to charge the battery string(s) before placing the system on-line or as
recommended by the battery manufacturer.
