3.3.3. Factory setting
The charger's factory settings are:
Sealed type battery (lead sealed)
BOOST in ON position
This setting is a compromise for a satisfactory recharging of different technologies of mixed or not batteries :
-
Opened classic lead
-
Sealed, Gel or AGM
-
Spiral sealed
To refine the load, please refer to the chart, paragraph : 3.3.2.
The installer should set the switches (excluding input and output voltage) and possibly adjust the output
voltage with no load using potentiometer RV1 or RV3 (use the appropriate tool to turn the screw of the
potentiometer), depending on:
- the type of battery (contact the battery manufacturer if necessary)
- the intended usage
- the cross-section and length of the output cables
- whether or not the boost function is required
For special batteries, call in a professional installer, who will make the specific settings in accordance with
the accumulator manufacturer's specifications and according to the specifics of the installation.
CRISTEC disclaims any liability in case of damage to batteries or ineffective recharging.
