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.

3.2. DIP switch
The DIP switches are numbered 6 to 1, top to bottom.
Default settings:
DS-6 Bulk Protection
DS-5 Absorption time
DS-4 Absorption time
DS-3 Adaptive
DS-2 Watch
DS-1 Automatic equalization
3.3. Explanation of settings:
DS-6. Bulk Protection. When switched on, the failure LED will be lit and the charger will shut down when the bulk time exceeds
10 hrs.
DS-5 and DS-4. Absorption time. The combination of switches 5 and 4 sets the maximum absorption time in case of adaptive
charging, and a fixed time in case the adaptive mode has been switched off (DS-3).

DS 3. Adaptive. When switched on, the absorption and float time depend on the bulk time (with the maximum time set by DS-5
and DS-4).
The dependencies are as follows:
Absorption time = (bulk time)*20 with a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum as set by DS-5 and DS-4.
Float time = (bulk time)*20 with a minimum of 4hrs and a maximum of 8hrs.
DS-2. Watch. When DS-2 is on, the battery voltage is checked when the charger is switched on. If the voltage exceeds 26V, the
charger will consider the battery fully charged, and start in storage mode. If the voltage is lower, the charger will start in bulk
mode.
When DS-2 is off, the charger will always start in bulk mode.
