FACTORY SETTING FOR ALARMS & TIMER MODE:
LOW DC VOLTAGE - 5 SECONDS
HIGH DC VOLTAGE - 5 SECONDS
HIGH VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN- 20 SECONDS
LOW DC CURRENT - 5 SECONDS
TIMER MODE - 30 SECONDS
High voltage shutdown works when a high voltage shutdown condition exists along with the presence of
dc current higher than the low dc current alarm setting.
ELECTRONIC EQUALIZE TIMER
The equalize timer assembly is a microprocessor based electronic timer which is capable of being field
programmed for different timing mode and length of time cycles.
The equalize cycle can be set from 2-144 hours in nine (9) different time selections (2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24,
48, 72 or 144 hours). The mode of the standard version can be selected for 2-144 hour standard timer,
7 day, 14 day, or 30 day equalize cycles. (For example, a 7 day timer will automatically equalize every 7
days for the # of hours selected.)
Unless otherwise specified the equalize timer is factory set for MODE 0, with an 8 hours equalize charge.
(See MODE 0 operation)
The timer consists of a yellow equalize “LED” and a start/stop equalize push-button switch.
The “LED” indicates that an equalize cycle is in process. The push-button start/stop switch is used to
start or stop the equalize cycle. To start a cycle the button is pressed, the “LED” will illuminate and the
internal timers will reset. If the push-button is pressed again the equalize cycle will be terminated.
TIMER MODES
To check or change Timer Modes, push and hold equalize push button for 5 seconds, now in the alarm
adjustment section. While momentarily pushing the equalize push-button until the switch index timer
mode “LED” (the bottom “LED”) starts to flash, and the digital display shows P0? (?= Mode 0,1,2,3,or 4).
To change mode use ground detection test switch. Toggle “up” rises and “down” lowers setting.
MODE 0
§ DISPLAY indicates P00
This is the standard timer mode. If the “PUSH TO EQUALIZE” button is depressed the timer will switch
the charger into the equalize mode and the equalize “LED” will indicate. The timer will automatically
return the charger to the float mode when the equalize cycle is complete. The number of hours of
equalize charge is determined by setting the timer knob that controls the equalizing hours. The push-
button may be depressed again to cancel the equalize cycle.
