PR4G WORKSHOP CHARGER
OPERATION MANUAL
850084 REV D
Data presented in this document is subject to change without notice
This means batteries added later may charge first, depending on their position on the
charger. If certain batteries must be charged first, then this must be taken in to
account. When the charger moves to a position it will charge or top off the battery at
that position, as necessary. This allows batteries to be added or removed at anytime.
The charger automatically keeps track of the current state of each Port.
1-7 UPGRADING CHARGER SOFTWARE
The software in the charger is readily field upgradeable. By loading new software into
the charger, it is possible to alter its operation and add or change the charging profiles
for the batteries. Loading new software into the charge is accomplished via the use of
a standard RS232 interface of a personal computer (PC). Utilizing special software
running on the PC in conjunction with the boot program resident within the charger, a
two-way communication link is established and the revised operational parameters
and battery charge profiles can be loaded into the charger. Specific instructions for
upgrading the ALT 170C software are provided with the software upgrades.
