Note the following:

 You should set the Float and Equalize voltages to the values recommended

by your battery manufacturer for 77 °F (25 °C).

 When you enter the Edit Mode to adjust the Float or Equalize voltage (see

Section 2.3.2), the front panel meter displays the 77 °F (25 °C) value for

the Float or Equalize voltage, even if the battery is warmer or cooler than

77 °F (25 °C).

 The actual output voltage of the AT30 may be different from the value

displayed on the front panel meter, if the battery is warmer or cooler than

77 °F (25 °C).

 Use a digital meter to measure the actual dc output voltage of the AT30. If

you know the temperature at the remote TempCo probe, you can use the

graph below to determine that the output voltage is correct.

 If the battery temperature goes below 32 °F (0 °C), there will be no further

increase in charger output voltage. Likewise, if the battery temperature

goes above 122 °F (50 °C), there is no further decrease in output voltage.

EXAMPLE: Suppose you have a lead-acid battery whose temperature is

100 °F / 37.8 °C. As shown on the graph, the output voltage should be

approximately 97% of the 77 °F voltage. If the float voltage is set on the

front panel to 132 Vdc, the actual output voltage will be:

132 x 0.97 = 128 Vdc
