E. MODIFY CONSTANT POTENTIAL

If charging in constant-potential mode (CP),

the constant charging voltage can be

modified. This has to be done before

connecting the battery.

1. Turn on the AC on-off/reset power switch.

2. Turn the Constant Potential Adjust

Trimpot until the desired voltage is

obtained. The voltmeter will display the

voltage as it is being adjusted.

3. Turn off the AC on-off/reset power switch

when voltage has been adjusted.

CAUTION: Ensure the unit is turned off

before connecting the battery.

F. CONNECT BATTERY

Connect the battery DC cable to the battery.

Ensure the connectors are plugged in

completely.

NOTE: The factory-presets are 24.5 and 28.6

volts in constant-potential mode can, if desired,

be modified in step E.

G. SWITCH ON MAINS POWER

Turn on the AC on-off/reset power switch. The

voltmeter reads the battery terminal voltage,

the ammeter reads zero. The timer reads 0’s

and its red LED is off.
