This coded information relates to the active Charging Prole and Charging Stage and is displayed in the 2
nd
line of the
Charging Mode Display Screens of EVO-RC-PLUS Remote Control. Please see Table 3.2 under Section 3.6.4.3 of EVO-
RC-PLUS Remote Control Manual
RESET TO BULK
At this point, the charger is forced to reset automatically from the operating charging stage and restart the selected
CHARGING PROFILE from the 1
st
Stage i.e. from the Bulk Stage. Please see Section 5.7.4
ABSORP EXIT
AMPS
When charging current in Absorption Stage drops to value set by programming parameter “ABSORP EXIT AMPS”, the
charger is switched off [The default value of parameter "ABSORP EXIT AMPS" is 4A. For details of programming range
or programming procedure, refer to Section 4.4.2.20 of the EVO-RC-PLUS Remote Control Manual]
NOTES for Fig 5.5
1. Please see Srl. 3 of Table 5.3 for details of charging process
2. Voltage (V) and Current (I) curves show the battery voltage and current.
3. The Voltage (V) and Current (I) curves shown are based on the following operating conditions:
a) The battery is being charged exclusively by the Battery charging Section of EVO and that there is NO external charging source that is
charging the battery / battery bank
b) There is no external DC load on the battery / battery bank (the entire current delivered by the Charging Section of EVO is being used
to charge the battery / battery bank)
