9.1.7 EQUALIZE STAGE
9.1.7.1 EQUALIZE PUSHBUTTON
This pushbutton when pressed will extend the charge
cycle by 3.5 hours in the equalize mode after the finish
rate time has expired. If pressed a second time, it will
cancel the equalize charge mode.
CAUTION: DO NOT EQUALIZE MORE OFTEN THAN
REQUIRED BY THE CONDITION OF THE BATTERY,
AS SPECIFIED IN THE BATTERY MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS. EXCESSIVE EQUALIZING MAY
DAMAGE THE BATTERY.
9.1.7.2 EQUALIZE LED
This LED indicates that the equalize mode has been
selected. A flashing equalize LED indicates that it is in
process.
10.0 CHARGE TIME
The amount of time a battery charges will vary depending
on the depth of discharge (DOD). Once the battery has
reached 80% charge, the cycle will be terminated in 3.5
hours (in case of an 8 hour charge time) or less if
terminated by dv/dt. Normal charge cycles will average
about 8 hours total.
11.0 AC POWER FAILURE
If the AC power fails during a charge cycle the charger will
resume operation in progress as soon as the AC power is
restored.
12.0 MAINTENANCE
The charger requires minimum maintenance. ENSURE
THE CHASSIS IS SECURELY GROUNDED per the
local/federal Electrical Code. Do not allow excessive dust
to accumulate on the components inside. Blow out with
clean compressed air when necessary.
The AC input and DC output of the charger are fused and
should these fuses fail, the cause of the failure must be
determined and corrected before the fuse(s) is (are)
replaced. Never replace the fuse(s) with one of a higher
capacity than the one originally fitted (see Tables 2 and 3
pages 9-12).
