3.1 FEATURES
The Mastervolt Chargemaster is a fully automatic battery
charger. This means that under normal circumstances it
may stay switched on with the AC power and batteries
connected. The Chargemaster is suitable for charging of
lead-acid batteries which may include maintenance-free,
low maintenance, AGM/spiral, gel or deep-cycle batteries.
It has an auto-ranging input facility which makes it feasible
to operate on almost any AC power source in the world. It
operates smoothly on both 230V as well as on 120V
without any compromises for the output current. The three-
step Plus charging method guarantees that the batteries
are always charged to 100%.
With an external AC source connected, the Chargemaster
charger also serves the functions of an AC to DC
converter to supply DC loads which are connected to the
batteries.
3.2 SWITCHING ON / STAND-BY
The Chargemaster is activated by holding the POWER
switch pressed for approx. 3 seconds. The POWER switch
will illuminate green. After switching on, the installed
software version is shown for 10 seconds. The state of
charge (which is stored in the memory of the
Chargemaster) will be displayed. If necessary and if AC
power is available, the Chargemaster will start to charge
the batteries.
