The charger provides one manual and two automatic equalise
modes:
 Manual – The user can manually enable an equalise by
pressing the = key during the charge cycle, a second press
will clear this function.
^*BattID Automatic Equalise – The charger reads the

BattID tag on battery connection and determines how many
charge cycles have been completed since the last equalise
was performed. If this has reached a set value, the charger
will automatically enable the equalise function.
Ideal for larger fleets, where multiple batteries are used with
multiple chargers. The battery will always receive an equalise
at the correct time, regardless of which charger the battery is
connected to.
^*Charger Automatic Equalise – The charger counts the

number of charge cycles since the last equalise charge was
performed. If this has reached a set value, the charger will
automatically enable the equalise function.
Ideal for small sites where the charger is only used with one
battery.
The automatic equalise modes can only be configured and
enabled by service personnel, but the mode and cycle information
can be viewed in the Charger Information screen in the User
Menu.
Once enabled, the charger will perform the equalise function after
the standard charge has been completed. The equalise function
can not be cleared once it has started and only one equalise is
allowed per cycle.
During equalise, the charge status indicator will show indication 4
with the LCD displaying the remaining time.
Watering System (Profile Dependant)
Periodically, wet lead acid batteries require watering to replace the
water that has evaporated during use. This should be performed
when the battery is fully charged.
The charger provides four automatic watering modes:
 ^*BattID Automatic Watering - The charger reads the
BattID tag on battery connection and determines how many
charge cycles have been completed since the battery was
previously watered. If this has reached a set value, the
charger will provide a signal that can be used to drive an
automatic watering system. During this period the charge
status indicator will show indication 2 and the LCD display will
show the time remaining.
Ideal for larger fleets, where multiple batteries are used with
multiple chargers and watering is performed by an automated
system. This will provide a fully automated watering system
that will not require any operator input.
^*BattID Watering Alert – The charger reads the BattID tag

on battery connection and determines how many charge
cycles have been completed since the battery was previously
watered. If this has reached a set value the charger displays
an alert screen (See below) indicating that the battery
requires watering; this will be accompanied by the charge
status indicator showing indication 8 or indication 9 during an
auto-balance pulse.
If this is ignored and more cycles are performed this alert will
turn into a warning code (F14) which is logged in the charger
history and finally into an fault code that stops charge from
being performed until the battery has been watered.
The user must manually reset the alert, once the battery has
been watered, by pressing the >> key.
Ideal for larger fleets, where multiple batteries are used with
multiple chargers and watering is a manual operation. An
alert will always be issued at the correct time, regardless of
which charger the battery is connected to.
 ^Charger Automatic Watering – The charger counts the
number of charge cycles since the battery was last watered. If
this has reached a set value, the charger will provide a signal
that can be used to drive an automatic watering system,
during this period the charge status indicator will show
indication 2 and the LCD display will show the time
remaining.
Ideal for small sites where the charger is only used with one
battery, but the battery is watered using an automated
system.
 Charger Watering Alert - The charger counts the number of
charge cycles since the battery was last watered. If this has
reached a set value the charger displays an alert screen
indicating that the battery requires watering; this will be
accompanied by the charge status indicator showing
indication 8 or indication 9 during an auto-balance pulse.
If this is ignored and more cycles are performed this alert will
turn into a warning code (F14) which is logged in the charger
history and finally into an fault code that stops charge from
being performed until the battery has been watered.
The user must manually reset the alert, once the battery has
been watered, by pressing the >> key.
Ideal for small sites where the charger is only used with one
battery and the battery is manually watered.
The watering modes can only be configured and enabled by
service personnel, but the mode and cycle information can be
viewed in the Charger Information screen in the User Menu.
Battery Recover Mode
If a battery is connected to the charger that is below the normal
operating voltage an incorrect battery fault (F07) will be displayed.
However if the battery voltage is between 1 and 1.5VPC, battery
recover mode is available. This mode employs a special charging
technique to recover batteries that have been stood for a long time
or have been over discharged.
This mode can be enabled by pressing the BRM key when the
fault is displayed. Battery recover mode will then start; once the
battery voltage has been recovered to a normal level a standard
charge will be performed.
Delayed Start
Note: This function is only available if the network function is OFF
and can only be set without a battery connected.
The set delayed start function will delay the start of charge for a
set time period (15mins to 48hrs) after the battery has been
connected.
During this period the charge status indicator will show indication 6
and the LCD display will show the following:
Once the time period has elapsed, charge will start as normal. This
can be overridden by pressing the >> button, for this cycle only.
The time period can be set via the Settings screen in the user
menu.
