1. Do not equalize gel cell batteries
with the remote programmed for wet
cells. Check remote default settings.
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 the battery electrolyte both
before and after the equalizing charge.
Do not expose the battery plates to air.
Leave the battery caps on while
equalizing. Top off after equalizing.
4. Remove all loads from the DC
system before equalizing. Some DC
loads may not tolerate the high charge
voltage.
5. Do not leave the equalize dip switch
in the ON position on the Freedom
Remote Control Panel. It must be cycled
ON/OFF and left in the OFF position. If
left ON, the unit will engage the
equalizing cycle every time the battery
charger is engaged.
6. With Link Instrumentation, the red
charge LED flashes during the equalizing
cycles. When the equalization cycle is
complete, the charger automatically goes
to float and the green LED is illuminated.
WARNINGS
BATTERY CHARGING
NOTE: If a continuous DC load in
excess 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
Freedom Remote Control Panel while
charging is a warning that an over-discharge
is imminent and that the DC load should be
reduced. Refer to the Freedom Remote
Panel Addendum, page 32.
