CHARGER FEATURES AND CONTROLS
The NAPA 85-8100 Wheel Charger is a fully functional wheel charger with a unique digital inter-
face module that allows users to perform battery charge acceptance, starter, and alternator tests.
7.1
CONTROL CENTER FEATURES
The Digital Test and
Charge display module
displays volts, amps, amp
hours, and charge time
units as indicated via
green LEDs.
pass/Fail lEDs indicate
test results via a green
LED for PASS and a
red LED for FAIL.
NOTE: The multi-purpose LED display changes function according to how the charger is being used:
As an AMMETER, it indicates the amount of amps flowing from charger into battery.
It keeps track of all accumulated amp hours during a test.
It serves as a VOLTMETER, indicating live voltage as soon as clamps are attached.
During TIMER operations, it shows either remaining time or elapsed time.
7.2 TIMER SWITCH
The Timer switch on the upper-right turns ON
the charger by setting a time. This must be done
before the charger is plugged in.
The OFF position disconnects the output of the
charger. By rotating the dial clockwise the output
is turned ON for a duration of time determined
by the number of minutes at which the dial is set.
The HOLD function can be used if charging times
longer than 120 minutes are required. While in the
timing phase, the output can be turned off by rotat-
ing the dial counterclockwise to the OFF position.
When determining charging time, refer to section 12. If the charger is plugged in when the Timer is
set, the internal fan will spin. A faint ticking sound is heard while the Timer runs.
NOTE: There is no sound when the Timer completes, except for a soft click.
Multi-purpose numerical lED display
functions as Voltmeter, Ammeter, Amp
Hour Accumulator, and Timer.
