FLOAT CYCLE
Behavior: Battery amps below 2%, voltage constant at 13.5 V (27 V FOR
24 V). (Voltage depends on battery type and ambient temperature setting.)
During the Float Cycle the float voltage is maintained. The alternator will
supply up to its current limit to maintain the float voltage and supply DC loads.
RESTARTING THE CHARGE CYCLE
MANUALLY: The Ramp Up Cycle may be manually restarted by turning off
the REG ON terminal and turning it back on again. This will require you to turn
off the key switch supplying REG ON or shutting off and restarting the engine
if REG ON is supplied by an oil pressure switch.
AUTOMATICALLY: The Charge Cycle is automatically restarted if the
voltage of the battery being charged drops 0.2 V (0.4 V for 24 V) below the float
voltage (0.3 V when charging with the inverter/charger) for more than two minutes.
EQUALIZE CYCLE
Behavior: Battery amps constant at 4%, voltage is rising to a maximum
of 16.0 V when charging with the alternator and 16.3 V when charging with
the inverter/charger. (Limited to acceptance voltage for gelled batteries.)
To start the Equalize Cycle press the SETUP BUTTON for five seconds until
the LED begins to flash. Now press both the VOLTS and the A hrs BUTTON
simultaneously. Hold them both down for five seconds until the red CHARGE
LED begins to flash and the “E” in the display goes out. To terminate the Equalize
Cycle and force the system into the float cycle, repeat the same procedure. The
cycle automatically terminates 3.5 hours after initiation, or when the current drops
to 2% of capacity at 16.0 V. (Equalize terminated in eight hours if using the
inverter/charger.)
The Equalize Cycle is a controlled overcharge to remove lead sulfate that is
not removed during normal charging. Liquid batteries should be equalized about
every 30 days when in deep cycling service.
ACCEPTANCE HOLD CYCLE
Behavior: Voltage at 14.4 V (28.8 V for 24 V), battery amps below 2%.
The Acceptance Hold Cycle ensures that the battery has accepted as much
charge as it can. During the Acceptance Hold Cycle the charged voltage is
maintained and charging current is monitored. Both the charged voltage and the
charged current % must continue to be satisfied for 10 minutes for the Acceptance
Hold Cycle to end. The Acceptance Hold Cycle is also terminated after 20
minutes from its beginning even if the battery current has not stayed below the
charged current for the entire time.
If the voltage of the batteries falls below the charged voltage for more than two
minutes, the Charge Cycle starts again.
