DUAL PROGRAM:
Selected models of OptiMate 4 will be delivered with program 1 (STANDARD) or program 2 (CAN-bus) set as default.
Program 1 (STANDARD) is the normal charging program for direct connection to a battery in any condition. All program features are
active, including Standard, TURBO and PULSE desulfation mode.
Program 2 (CAN-bus) automatically activates a 12V outlet on vehicles fitted with CAN-bus, to charge, test and maintain the battery
when the vehicle is in storage. The standard and high voltage TURBO desulfation mode are de-activated. The low voltage PULSE
desulfation mode remains active, to recover a discharged battery that remains connected to vehicle wiring.
Program 2 can also be used to directly charge and maintain a battery in or out the vehicle, but cannot recover a sulfated battery. To
recover a sulfated battery select program 1 and follow instructions under VERY FLAT NEGLECTED BATTERIES.
Program indication when not connected to a 12V outlet or battery.
STANDARD – only the power LED#1 remains on.
CAN-bus – the POWER LED#1 remains on and DESULFATE LED#3 and CHARGE LED#4 briefly flash together at regular intervals.
To change from one program to the other:
1.
Disconnect the charger from AC supply.
2.
Attach the battery clip set to the charger and connect the negative clip directly to the positive clip.
3.
Re-connect the charger to AC supply.
4.
Observe the following LED indications:
LEDs #3,4,5,6 and 7 flash 12 times during selection of the alternate program (5x slow, 5x fast, 2x slow).
After the program change the following indications can be observed (with battery clips still connected together):
– Changed from CAN-bus to STANDARD : only the POWER LED#1 remains on.
– Changed from STANDARD to CAN-bus : LED #3 and LED #4 flash together at regular intervals with LED #8 immediately
following.
5.
Disconnect the battery clips. OptiMate 4 is ready to charge a battery according to the selected program.
ECO POWER SAVING MODE WHEN THE CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO AC SUPPLY:
The power converter switches to ECO mode when the charger is not connected to a battery resulting in a very low power draw of
less than 0,5W, equivalent to power consumption of 0,012 kWh per day. When a battery is connected to the charger power
consumption depends on the current demand of the battery and its connected vehicle / electronic circuitry. After the battery has
been charged and the charger is in long term maintenance charge mode (to keep the battery at 100% charge) the total power
consumption is estimated to be 0,060 kWh or less per day.
PROCEEDING TO CHARGE
POWER ON: LED #1 -
Confirms AC power supply to the charger..
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: LED #2 -
protected so no damage will result, and the output will remain disabled until the connections are corrected.
CHARGE CURRENT BAR: L
Current level indications: LED #8: 0,2A LED#8 and 9: 0,5A LED #8, 9 and 10: 0,8A
