When power is applied for the rst time or when factory settings have been restored, the GP-BMK-50 will start the
set-up wizard (see section 2). Thereafter, if power is applied, the GP-BMK-50 will start in normal mode (see section 3).
5.2 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW
The following summary describes all the parameters of the GP-BMK-50.
- Press SETUP for two seconds to access these functions and use the + and - buttons to browse them.
- Press SELECT to access the desired parameter.
- Use SELECT and the + an - buttons to customize. A short beep conrms the setting.

5.2.1 BATTERY SETTINGS
01. Battery Capacity
Battery capacity in Amp hours.
Default Range Step size
200Ah 1-9999Ah 1Ah
02. Charged Voltage
The battery voltage must be above this voltage level to consider the battery as fully charged. The charged-voltage-
parameter should always be slightly below the end of charge voltage of the charger (usually 0.2V or 0.3V below the
oat voltage of the charger). See section 3.7 for recommended settings.
GP-BMK-50
Default Range Step Size
See table, sec 3.7 0-95V 0.1V
03. Tail Current
Once the charge current has dropped to less than the set tail current (expressed as percentage of the battery
capacity), the battery is considered as fully charged.
Remark:
Some battery chargers stop charging when the current drops below a set threshold. The tail current must be set
higher than this threshold.
Default Range Step Size
4% 0.5-10% 0.1%
04. Charged Detection Time
This is the time the charged-parameters (Charged Voltage and Tail Current) must be met in order to consider the
battery fully charged..
Default Range Step size
3 minutes 1-50 minutes 1 minute
