Operation; Preliminary; Normal Or Daily Charge - AMETEK/PRESTOLITE POWER EVOLUTION Owner's Manual

OPERATION

The operating procedure given here explains the
operation of a Prestolite Evolution Charger equipped
with the Evolution Control.
NOTE: If this charger is equipped with
certain optional features, the operating
procedure may be modified.

Preliminary

1. Make sure that charger is installed and grounded as
instructed in this manual.
2. Turn on main fused disconnect switch that supplies
AC power to charger.
3. Maintain electrolyte level in batteries to be charged,
as instructed by battery manufacturer. The volume
of electrolyte will expand during the charge.
Therefore, to avoid overfilling, do not add water
until the battery has received at least an 80%
charge. This will usually be reached at the time
gassing starts.

Normal or Daily Charge

(For batteries with ampere-hour capacity within the
range shown on charger nameplate)
1. Insure that battery size matches the charger and/or
charger setting. (Number of cells is equal to or less
than the charger nameplate rating and ampere-hour
capacity is within charger nameplate rating.)
2. Securely engage the battery and charger
connectors. The charger will go to the Dashboard
view.
3. The charger will display "Detecting BID Device"
as it looks for BID modules.
4. After a short delay, the charger will turn on, the fans
will run and the halo of LEDs will blink green. The
touch screen display will indicate the cell size and
amp hour settings for the charge cycle.
5. The halo will blink green slowly and become faster
when the battery reaches 80%.
6. When the charge termination point is reached, the
charger will turn off and the blinking green light will
become solid. If an equalize charge has been
selected, the lights will blink fast green/white during
the Equalize portion of the charge cycle.

charger front panel.
NOTE: While not normally required, the
charging rate may be adjusted to compensate for
unusual ambient temperature, age of battery, etc.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Do not connect or disconnect a
battery unless the Halo is a solid
Green: otherwise, damage to
charger, arcing and burning of
connector parts or a battery explo-
sion may result (batteries produce
explosive gases). Keep sparks,
flame, and cigarettes away. Venti-
late when charging in and en-
closed area. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries. Dis-
connect battery if charger is to be
