3.4. Temperature compensation
The temperature sensor should be connected to the minus pole of the battery.
The temperature compensation is set at -32 mV/°C for all 24 V lead acid batteries (see table and fig 7), and all charge states.
The temperature sensor must be installed when:
ambient temperature of the battery is expected to regularly be lower than 15 °C or to regularly exceed 30 °C
•
charge current exceeds 15 A per 100 Ah battery capacity
•
Temperature compensation is not required for Li-Ion batteries.
3.5. Manual equalize function
With the equalize button on the front, the charger can be put in equalize mode only during absorption and float periods. When the
charger is still in bulk mode equalization is not possible.
To enable equalization, press the equalize button for three seconds. The yellow led "abs" and "bulk" will alternate during
equalization.
Current and voltage limits are identical to the automatic equalize function (see section 3.3). The equalize duration is however
limited to max. 1 hr when triggered with the equalize button.
3.6. Power Control – maximum use of limited shore current
A maximum input current can be set in order to avoid fusing the mains supply.
This adjustment is only available with the optional Skylla-i control panel or the Color Control GX panel.
