The start phase continues until the battery's terminal voltage has risen above the set limit, at which point the charger switches to bulk charging. If the terminal voltage has not passed the voltage limit within the time limit, the charger switches to fault mode (Step 2 lamp solid) and discontinues the charging.

STEP 4 CHARGING During the charge process, the CHARGING and STAGE LAMP will flash various patterns. This is normal and ind icates the various charge stages. Refer to "How can I know what stage the battery charger is in" in the FAQ sectio n, page 22. When the STAGE LAMP remains on, this is known as the floa t stage and the charger can be left connected to the battery wi t hout over charging. - Page 20 12. PERMANENT WIRING TO BATTERY It is possible to hard wire the DC charging leads to the battery for permanent installations. You will need 2 x ring terminals, an inline fuse holder and a fuse with a rating equal to or more than twice of the chargers output. (See below) 5A = 10 Amp fuse 7A = 14 Amp fuse 10A = 20 Amp fuse 12A = 24 Amp fuse 15A = 30 Amp fuse 20A = 40 Amp fuse...
- Page 21 If the charger is used in a Permanent / Hard Wired application and the vehicle will not be used for some time, it is best to leave the charger connected to mains power (turned "On") so that it can maintain the battery fully charged. Ensure any modification to the 110V/220-240V AC mains lead is carried out by a qualified person and that connection to supply mains is in accordance with National wiring rules.
