MODES
5. MODE 4 16V boost (16V/1.5A) 12V battery only
This mode is used to recondition batteries with a capacity greater than 14AH under normal
conditions. Connect the positive and negative clamps to the terminals of the battery,
ensure that the polarity is correct and press the MODE button to select
. If no
other action is taken
will flash at 1±0.2Hz flash, and the charger will then start
the reconditioning program at 16.5V±0.5V and 1.5A±0.5A. If the battery is deeply discharged
and sulphated the reconditioning program may continue for up to 3 hours at which point a
17V at 1.5A maximum current may be applied to attempt recovery. After 4 hours or as soon
as the battery can be charged normally
will flash at a frequency of 'on' 0.5s
'off' 1s indicating the program is complete.
6. Pulse Rescue Dead Battery
At the start of the charging program the charger detects the battery voltage and
automatically starts the pulse charging program if the voltage is between 4.5V±0.5V to
10.5V±0.5V (12V battery) or 16V±0.25V to 21V±0.25V (24V battery).
This process will continue until the battery voltage reaches 10.5V±0.5V (12V battery) or
21V±0.25V (24V battery), once the battery reaches these levels the charger will continue
according to the selected program. If after 6 hours the battery fails to reach this level the
charger will return to standby mode.
7. Abnormality Protection
The charger will automatically protect itself if it detects abnormal conditions such as,
short circuit, recovery mode duration over 7 hour, bult charge duration over 41 hours, 12V
battery voltage below 4.5±0.5V, 24V battery voltage below 15V±0.25V, open circuit or reverse
polarity connection. When any of these conditions are detected the charger will return to
standby mode. In addition to this
will illuminate if the connections to the battery are
reversed.
8. Temperature Protection
If the charger becomes too hot while any of the modes are active it will reduce its power
output to protect itself from harm.
9. Changing between modes.
To change mode, press the MODE button until the desired. Once the mode button is
pressed, after 0.5 seconds the charger will change its mode.
a. 12V batteries are compatible with the following modes: Standby, Mode 2, Mode 3.1, Mode
3.2 and Mode 4. The charger will cycle in this order. Please note that to access model 3.2
the charger must be powered, not connected to the battery and the mode button must be
pressed for 3 seconds. Once this is complete the charger can be connected to the battery,
ensuring that the connections are correct as polarity protection is disabled.
