8.2 Boost Voltage
The Boost voltage can be changed between 13 and 16.0 volts
in 0.1 volt increments per 12V battery pack.
Default Value is 14.5V.
Obtain the correct boost charge voltage from your battery
supplier
➢ Press the <DATA> button to change the battery BOOST VOLTAGE
➢ Press <CHARGE> to save the setting
The screen changes to: BOOST TO FLOAT CHANGE
8.3 Boost to Float Voltage
This screen changes the time that the BOOST mode takes to
switch to FLOAT mode, once the batteries have reached the
BOOST voltage level.
• The time can be set to Disable, 10min, 30min, 1 hour, 2
hours.
• Default Value is 10min.
➢ Press the <DATA> button to change the battery BOOST VOLTAGE
➢ Press <CHARGE> to save
The screen changes to: BOOST TO FLOAT CURRENT
8.4 Boost to Float Current
This changes the charge current at which the BOOST mode
after timing out, changes to FLOAT.
• This can be <3 – <6 – <15 - <30 amps or Disabled.
• Default Value is < 6 Amps
➢ Press the <DATA> button to change the battery BOOST TO FLOAT CURRENT VOLTAGE
➢ Press the <CHARGE> button to save the setting
The screen changes to EQUALISE CHARGE MODE
.
8.5 Equalise Charge Mode
In this mode the Regulator will automatically go into
EQUALISE mode if the battery pack voltage falls below 10.8V.
This enables or disables the EQUALISE Charge mode.
• Auto= 1 Every forth-night (+- 2 weeks)
• Manual = Disable ) Selected by Pressing the charge
button)
• Default Value is Manual.
The MPPT will automatically set the Equalisation voltage
• EQ: = 15V if boost voltage setting is 14,7V or lower
• EQ: = 16V if boost voltage setting is 14,8V or higher
➢ To change the battery EQUALISE CHARGE MODE press the <DATA> button
➢ To save the setting press the <CHARGE> button
PLEASE NOTE: Some battery types cannot undergo an equalisation charge.
