3.3.3 Factory setting
The shore-power unit's factory settings are:
Sealed type battery (sealed lead) (see table above)
BOOST activated
The installer should set the selection wheel (RC1) (excluding input and off-load output voltage) and possibly
adjust the output voltage using potentiometer RV1 (use the appropriate tool to turn the screw of the
potentiometer), depending on:
- the type of battery (contact the battery manufacturer if necessary)
- the intended usage
- the cross-section and length of the output cables
- whether or not the boost function is required
For special batteries, call in a professional installer, who will make the specific settings in accordance with
the accumulator manufacturer's specifications and according to the specifics of the installation.
CRISTEC disclaims any liability in case of damage to batteries or ineffective recharging.
