DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY - If the charger determines a battery is
deeply discharged, it will attempt to recover the battery with a program
designed to enhance charge acceptance. Because of the high voltage
levels required for recovery, this program is not included for sealed
batteries.
OPERATING PROCEDURE:
1.
Plug AC cord into outlet. Turn POWER switch ON. RED light will
come on.
2.
Select mode of operation Flooded or Sealed/GEL. Most VRLA
batteries are charged using the Flooded setting. See battery manual
for details. If in doubt, charge with Sealed/GEL setting. Select
Battery size 12V or 24V.
3.
Connect the RED clamp to the positive (+) and the BLACK clamp to
the negative (-). The GREEN light will come on for 4 seconds. See
PREPARING TO CHARGE section under IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS of this manual.
4.
The YELLOW light will come on when the GREEN light goes off and
charging will begin.
5.
If the battery is deeply discharged, the YELLOW and GREEN lights
will flash on and off for up to 30 minutes, in flooded setting.
6.
Charging will be discontinued if the battery will not accept charge
after a reasonable amount of time and the RED light will flash.
7.
Charging time will depend on the size and state of charge of the
battery.
8.
When charging is complete, charger will go into a float mode and the
GREEN light will blink.
NOTES ON RECOVERY OF DEEPLY DISCHARGED BATTERIES:
a. Not all deeply discharged batteries can be recovered.
b. Most weak batteries will be detected while charging. However, some
batteries which have been recovered from a deep discharge will
maintain an acceptable open circuit voltage but have a reduced ca-
pacity under load. Always load test, or otherwise test a recovered
battery, to determine if the CCA capacity is within 80% of the rated
value.
DEAD BATTERY OVERRIDE
If the battery voltage is below 4V the battery charger will not recognize
that it has been connected to a battery. Most batteries even if completely
discharged will recover to a voltage greater than 4V, but if a battery is left
in a discharged state for an extended period of time the voltage may fall
below 4V. This charger has been equipped with a Dead Battery Override
switch; this can be used to start the charger if the battery voltage is below
4V.
OPERATION:
a. Connect the deeply discharged battery to charger, battery should be
placed as far away from the charger as the cables will allow. (See
Section 18). Please insure that the battery is connected with the
correct polarity.
b. Press and hold the override switch; green LED should light. If moni-
toring the battery voltage, you should see it rise.
CAUTION: Never press the override switch without a battery
connected.
c. After several seconds, release the override switch. If the battery will
accept a charge, it should now start charging. For best results the
Battery Type switch should be set for flooded. If the battery is a
sealed type, the Battery Type switch can be changed after the bat-
tery has reached the gassing point (Yellow Led starts to flash). If
24V, charge on 12V first and then switch to 24V.
d. The battery may have to be connected to the charger several times
before the charger will not fail the battery as a bad battery (Red Led
Flashing).
NOTE: The operator should only need to press the override for the
first attempt to recover the battery.

level for more than 20 seconds, then the RED light will start to flash.
At this point the unit is supplying maximum output and the battery
voltage should be monitored to make sure it does not drop below
minimum levels required for testing and/or programming.
