Clean and store the charger in a dry location.11.4
NOTE: During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to
one of three states.
Engine Starting Notes:11.5
Wait for cranking - The charger waits until the engine is actually being
cranked before delivering 80 amps for engine start. The charger delivers
charge at a rate of up to 12 amps while waiting and will reset if the engine
is not cranked within 15 minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself for a
2A charge and 12V REGULAR battery.) While waiting for cranking, the
digital display shows the battery voltage (it can’t be set to percent).
Cranking - When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically
deliver up to its maximum output (at least 80A) as required by the starting
system for up to 5 seconds or until the engine cranking stops. The digital
display shows a countdown of the remaining crank time in seconds. It
starts at 5 and counts down to 0.
Cool Down - After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 3-min-
ute (180 second) cool down state. During this period, no settings can
be changed. The buttons are ignored. The digital display indicates the
remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 180 and counts down
to 0. The 80A START LED blinks once every second. During the cool
down period, no current is delivered to the battery. After 3 minutes, the
80A START LED will stop blinking and will light continuously, indicating
that another crank cycle can be started. The digital display will change
from displaying the countdown back to displaying the battery voltage. The
CHARGING LED will then be lit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 12.
OVERVIEW:
Using this battery charger is very simple. First, connect the battery and AC
power following the precautions listed in sections 6 and 7. Then select the
appropriate BATTERY TYPE and CHARGE RATE for your battery. The
charger will then do everything automatically. This section explains a few
details.
CHARGING: 12.1 If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery,
the CHECK (red) LED will light continuously until such a battery is detect-
ed. Charging will not begin while the CHECK LED is on. When charging
begins, the CHARGING (yellow) LED will be lit.
AUTOMATIC CHARGE:12.2 When the 2A, 12A or 30A charge rate is selected,
the charger is set to perform an automatic charge. When an automatic
charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain mode (see
below) automatically after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE: 12.3 If charging can’t be completed normally, charg-
ing will abort. When charging aborts, the charger’s output is shut off and
the CHECK (red) LED and digital display will blink on and off (at opposite
times). In that state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an
