Stage 7. STANDBY MODE - The constant voltage charging
In this stage, the charging voltage at this mode will be 4% less than the Float voltage only for maintaining the capacity.
The Standby curve (STA) will display with slow flashing.
New Cycle Charge every 18 days
Charger will start a new cycle charging of bulk to absorption to float every 18 days in either standby or float mode This
new cycle of charging will refresh the battery to prevent separation of the electrolyte & keep the electrode plates in good
condition.
The standby auto new cycle charge per 18 days are designed to keep the battery in good working condition during long
period of resting of the caravan or back up battery application.
E. Recondition Charging for wet type battery only
This mode is used to recover deeply discharged flooded battery only by high voltage charging (about 10% overcharge
absorption voltage). You can manual select this mode by simply press and hold 3 seconds the Recondition mode switch
(3) to set the charger at the beginning of charging operation. The LCD display will show RECOND to represent you have
selected Recondition mode in this charging cycle and the charging will be conducted after Absorption mode.
After entered into this mode, the Recondition curve (REC) will display with slow flashing. This will put the charger keep at
Recondition mode for preset time and then charger will go to Float once completed.
In case you want to cancel the Recondition charge that you selected, you can disable this by press and hold the
Recondition mode switch (3) for 3 seconds.
Remark: 1. This mode only can be operated at Flooded battery selected (Battery Selection Switch (4) set to
position 1 the WET battery)
2. Take special precautions as battery will emit explosive gas during Recondition charge.
F. Power Level adjustment
End user can set the maximum output current so to make the charger can suitable for different capacity battery
Make sure the charger is power OFF before adjust the power level.
Use a small slot type screw driver to select the maximum output current through the Charging Current Selection Switch
(5). Please refer to the label under the removable door for power level selection.
LCD display will show the power level by % after restart the charger.
Position 1: 100% of the rated current
Position 2: 80% of the rated current
Position 3: 60% of the rated current
Position 4: 40% of the rated current
Position 5: 20% of the rated current
