PREPARING THE CHARGER FOR OPERATION
Selecting the Type of Battery and Charging Stages
The Float Voltage and Boost Voltage (Also called Absorption or Overcharge Voltage)
of different types of Lead Acid Batteries are different. Also, when a charger is used to
charge a battery and simultaneously supply a load, the Boost Stage is required to be
disabled to prevent overcharging of the battery. A Dip Switch is provided on top of the
output terminals for selecting the battery type and for disabling the Boost Stage when
charging loaded batteries. The following selections can be made with the help of the
Dip Switch.
CAUTION! (Do not change the Dip Switch setting when the charger is operating.
Always change the Dip Switch setting when the charger is off, i.e. after disconnecting
the charger from the AC input power)
NOTE : The voltages are for a temperature of 80 Degrees F
