OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Charging

7.
2. Select the appropriate settings for your battery.
3. Connect the AC power following the precautions listed in Section 8.
Automatic Charging Mode
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the
Maintain Mode (see below) automatically after the battery is charged.
Completion of Charge
Charge completion is indicated by the FULL CHARGE (green) LED. When
lit, the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode
of operation. If the 12V DEEP CYCLE battery type was selected, the FULL
CHARGE (green) LED comes on when the battery is charged enough for
normal use.
Maintain Mode
When the FULL CHARGE (green) LED is flashing, the charger has started
Maintain Mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a small current, when necessary. If the battery voltage drops
below a preset level, the charger will go back into Charge Mode until the
battery voltage returns to the full charge level, at which point the charger
will return to Maintain Mode. The voltage is maintained at a level deter-
mined by the BATTERY TYPE selected.
NOTE: The charger automatically switches between Charge Mode and
Maintain Mode as necessary. The FULL CHARGE (green) LED will cycle
on when the battery is at full charge and off when the voltage drops below
a preset level and the charger goes into Charge Mode. This cycle will
continue, and the FULL CHARGE (green) LED will flash for longer periods
of time as the battery becomes more fully charged.
