CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

LCD Display

The LCD display provides detailed information needed to
set up each of the three functional options of the charger. In
addition, the display will provide detailed status information
as each function is performed.
For instance, during the set-up process for Automatic Mode
charging, the display will provide information regarding
the different charging parameters available, such as what
battery type is to be charged and the desired charging rate
for that charging instance. Once the charging sequence has
commenced, the display will provide specific details related
to charging progress. The information displayed changes
depending on the type of operational mode the user has
selected.
The display has a backlight for better viewing in low light
conditions. The backlight will turn off if the charger is idle and
not charging for more than 15 minutes. If the backlight is off,
ENGINE START
the first button pressed will only turn the backlight on. The
STABLE POWER
next button pressed will perform its normal function.

FUNCTION Selection Button

The FUNCTION selection button changes the mode of operation of the charger between AUTO CHARGE
mode, STABLE POWER mode and ENGINE START mode. In Auto Charge mode, once the charging
parameters have been set and the START button has been pressed, the charger will commence a proprietary,
advanced Multi-Phase charging sequence designed to provide an optimal charge. STABLE POWER mode
provides steady, stable power to maintain system voltage during on-vehicle repairs and other applications
where it is detrimental should system voltage drop below a specific threshold. ENGINE START mode provides
engine starting assistance to jump start vehicles with depleted batteries.

FUNCTION Control Buttons

FUNCTION control buttons allow an operator to sequence through the parameters related to each function,
choose specific values for those parameters and commence the chosen function. They include the following
buttons: TOGGLE, SELECT and START.
The TOGGLE button is used to sequence through the various parameters related to each function. For
instance, during Auto Mode charging, the operator can toggle through voltage options, battery type options
and charge rate options. The SELECT button is used to choose a specific value for an available parameter
within a function. For instance, during Auto Mode charging, the operator can choose 100A, 60A, 40A, 15A or
5A charge rates when in 12V mode. The START button is used to commence each function once all of the
functional parameters have been set to the desired values. The START button can also be used to discontinue
any function once it has commenced.

LED Status Lights

LED lights in the control panel indicate which functional mode the charger is currently set to, as well as current
status of the chosen function once the function has commenced. In addition, an error LED alerts the operator
to unsafe charging conditions, including battery faults and reverse polarity connection.
