3. CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
When the charger is installed correctly and before mains power is applied, the charger should be set up to suit the battery
connected.
Note about the models with three outputs: all settings are applied to the three outputs simultaneously

For this purpose, the control board is fitted with a number of switches and connectors to facilitate the user with the following
options:
1. Rotary switch for choice of battery type.
2. DIP switch for setting various options.
3. Fine tuning of current and voltage for position 8 of the rotary switch (and voltage only for position 9)
4. CAN-bus connection (RJ45).
5. Indicators for correct connection of voltage and temperature sensors.
6. Connection block for external sensors, switch and relay.
7. Reset settings to factory defaults (press for 5 seconds).
3.1. Rotary switch
The rotary switch provides the user with a selection of preset battery types to be charged. See table below.
Warning: the charge voltages as given below are indicative only. Always refer to the battery supplier for the right
charge voltages.
