BATTERY CHARGING
1. Do not equalize gel cell batteries
with the remote programmed for wet
cells.
2. Always monitor the equalize
charge. Provide proper ventilation for
battery fumes. Do not allow any sparks
during equalizing. If one or more cells
begin to overflow, terminate the equalize
charge.
3. Check and top off the battery elec-
trolyte both before and after the
equalizing charge. Do not expose the
battery plates to air. Leave the battery
caps on while equalizing.
4. Remove all loads from the DC sys-
tem before equalizing. Some DC loads
may not tolerate the high charge voltage.
5. Do not leave the equalize dip
switch in the ON position. It must be
cycled OFF and left in the OFF position.
If left ON, the unit will engage the equal-
izing cycle every time the battery charger
is engaged.
WARNINGS
Note: If a continuous DC load in ex-
cess of the charge rate is placed on the
battery bank, eventually the battery voltage
will drop below 8 Volts and the battery
charger will shut off. This load must be
significantly reduced and the power to the
charger cycled to resume charging.
Blinking of the battery LED on the
remote control while charging is a warning
that an over-discharge is imminent and that
the DC load should be reduced.
NOTE: Equalize only after a regular
charge cycle.
