Engine Starting Sequence - Solar PRO-LOGIX PL5100 Manual Del Propietário

Like battery charging, if at any time during this operation, you wish to stop the charger, you can push the START
button to return the unit to Standby Mode.
After your Stable Power session is complete, press the START button to bring the unit to Standby Mode, turn off
the Master Power Switch and unplug the charger from the AC power source. Then, disconnect the charger clamp
not connected directly to the battery first and DO NOT allow the clamp to touch anything. Then, disconnect the
charger clamp attached to the battery terminal. (See Connecting To Batteries... at the beginning of this section).

Engine Starting Sequence

Your battery charger can provide a high current output to help start a vehicle with a weak battery. However, the
electronics in some vehicles can be damaged when attempting to jump start. ALWAYS READ THE VEHICLE
OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE AUXILLIARY STARTING to determine if jump starting can do damage to the
vehicle. If not, read and follow these instructions.
First, connect the charger to the vehicle (see previous section, Connecting to Batteries...). Once a proper connection
has been made, plug the unit into an AC outlet and turn the Master Power Switch to the ON position. It is
recommended to charge the battery for 5 to 10 minutes, remembering to always follow the recommended values
for charging rate and battery type found in the Controls and Indicators section of this manual for each battery to be
charged. Charge according to the steps identified in the Auto Charging Sequence section of this manual. After 10
minutes, press START to stop charging and enter idle mode.
Press the Function Selection button until the LED corresponding to "ENGINE START" is lit.

Press START to activate Engine Start Mode. Because this mode can provide excessive current to the battery, it is
active for 2 minutes from the time START is pressed. After 2 minutes, the charger will return to idle mode.
Below is an example of the display in Engine Start Mode.

When complete, press START again to deactivate Engine Start Mode. The unit has a time limit to prevent
overheating in the charger. If the limit is exceeded, the unit will be in Cool Down mode until it is safe to return to
Engine Start Mode.
Note: If the engine spins but fails to start after several starting attempts, there is an engine problem not related to
the starting system. Discontinue cranking the engine until the other problem is found and corrected.
