Time/Date– This is the screen that the controls time and date is
programmed. The clock is a 24 hour clock.
Press the Save Date button to save these settings.
Screen Calibration
Screen Calibration– Calibrate the touch screen display by press-
ing the screen where the little + symbols appear.
START MODE
The start mode can be set to:
1. Auto– Charge cycles begins when battery is detected
2. TODS– Time of Day Start can start the charge cycle at a desired
time every day.
3. Delay– Delays the start of a charge cycle for the programmed hours.
4. TODB– Time of Day Blockout can prevent charging during a spec-
ified time period.
5. Timer Mode– The charger will prompt the user to input the
desired charge time.
Override– This toggle switch can enable a manual override if the
start mode is set to anything but Auto.
CHARGE CURVE AND PARAMETERS
Battery Voltage Selection
The bottom arrows allow selection of the battery voltage sup-
ported by the charger. The user should select the proper voltage
and modify the charge curve and other settings as needed.
Charge Curve
The curve setting is the battery type the charger uses to select
proper output voltage & current characteristics, if the charger
does not detect a PowerForce BID.
The values on the right are the rates for the chosen charge curve.
The custom curve allows the user to modify these values.
Termination Type
VT-4 – The charger will continue to charge for 4 hours after the
80% SOC point is reached.
VT-6 – The charger will charge for 6 hours after 80% SOC point is
reached
For VT-4 and VT-6 If 80% SOC in less than 5 minutes the charger
will automatically select DvDt to limit extra time at finish current.
If FLD or MAX curve is selected the charger will automatically select
DvDt upon reaching 2.65VPC (temperature corrected) to limit extra
time at finish current. For DSG the DvDt changeover is at 2.45 (tem-
perature corrected).
DVDT – When the charger reaches 80% SOC, battery voltage is
monitored and the charge stopped when the voltage rise slows to a
point to indicate a fully charged battery.
FIXED BATTERY AH - configures the battery capacity
Additional Charge Time -Extra run time, starts at the Charge
Complete point (00:00 to 02:00 hours) default 00.
