WARNING: Minimum over-current protec-
tion device interrupt ratings must be 2000A
for 12V systems, and 4000A for 24V systems.
NOTE: Carefully observe the LEDs after
each connection. The LEDs will indcate
proper polarity, and a secure co nnection.
3.2 Configuration
The DIP switch block shown in Figure 3.1 below is
used to set the operating parameters for the ProStar.
Switch 1: Load / Lighting
Mode Switch 1
Normal OFF
Lighting ON
Switches 2, 3: System Voltage
Three (3) system voltage configurations are available
as shown in the table below:
Figure 3.1. DIP Switch Block to set charging parameters
System voltage Switch 2 Switch 3
Auto OFF OFF
12 OFF ON
24 ON OFF
NOTE: Before connecting the battery, measure
the open-circuit voltage. It must be over 10
Volts to start the controller. If the system voltage
DIP Settings Switches are set to Auto-detect, battery
voltage over 15.5V will be detected as a 24V nominal
battery, and the unit will charge accordingly. The
12/24V auto selection is only done at start-up, and
the detected system voltage will never change during
operation.
It is recommended to set DIPs 2 and 3 to the correct
system voltage setting. Only use the default auto-
detect setting if the nominal system voltage is not
known.
Switches 4, 5, 6: Battery Type Selection
Preset ProStar battery charging options are shown
in table 3-1 below. All voltage settings listed are for
nominal 12 Volt batteries. Multiply the voltage settings
by two (2) for 24 Volt systems.
NOTE: The charging profiles below are general
guidelines for use at the operator’s discretion. Consult
the battery manufacturer for optimal battery charge
settings.
