4. SYSTEM STARTUP CONFIGURATION

The following items must be configured when the system is initially powered on. The procedures to set

these parameters can be found in the Operations section of this manual.

With the AC and DC circuit breakers open, and power source turned off at the source, connect a

voltmeter to the AC input terminals. Energize power source and verify the AC incoming voltage is within

its acceptable range.

With the input AC and output DC breakers open, connect a voltmeter to the DC Output terminals and

Battery Input terminals (if provided). Verify that DC voltage (for applications with batteries) is within

acceptable range and polarity of the charger output voltage setting.

Upon closing the AC Input Circuit Breaker, the Charger is in Float Mode as shown by the green battery

indicator on the Users Interface LCD. Pressing the battery icon on the User Interface LCD, and confirming

the change, sets the output to Equalize Mode and initiates a timed cycle indicated on the equalize timer.

Pressing the amber battery icon on the User Interface LCD while the Charger is in Equalize Mode, sets

the output to Float Mode and resets the equalize timer.

Close the DC Output breaker to connect power to the load.

If a Battery breaker is included, close to connect the battery.

Opening the AC Input breaker will remove power from the Charger modules. The Display will continued

to operate if the Battery is connected and the DC Ouptut breaker is closed. Open the DC output and

Battery breaker to completely remove power from the Charger.
