IMPORTANT: Selecting 14.7V or 15.0V (for 12V batteries) or 29.4V or

30.0V (for 24V batteries) elevates charge voltage in STEP 5 & 6. Confirm

battery charge voltage requirement before selecting a higher charge
voltage. Incorrect selection can lead to overcharging and electrolyte loss

LED #1a / #1b REVERSE POLARITY / incorrect battery connection (LED #1a and
#1b flashing together) : The charger is electronically protected so no
damage will result, and the output will remain disabled until the
connections are corrected.
VOLTAGE SAFETY CHECK:
12V (#1a) flashing: a battery with voltage exceeding 18V is connected
/ battery may be 24V.
24V (#1b) flashing: a battery with voltage below 18V is connected;
battery may be 12V or it may be a deep discharged 24V battery.
Action: Physically check battery. If nominal voltage is 12V, disconnect
24V
battery and select 12V.
