PROGRAMMING THE BATTERY CHARGER
PROGRAMMING THE BATTERY CHARGER
The battery charger has the following programmable functions:
• Selecting the battery charge mode - liquid or gel electrolite.
• Selecting the network group.
• Selecting the priority within the network group.
• Activating/inactivating the monitor mode.
Activating programming
Press the button provided on the control panel for 6 seconds in order to activate the program-
ming procedure. Once this time has elapsed, the letter “ " will appear steady on the display.
At this point, release the button. The battery charger will pass from one programming function
to another in the order given below:
EL/GEL SELECTION
This function enables the charge provided by the battery charger to be optimized according to
the type of batteries used - liquid electrolite or gel.
WARNING: check which battery charging mode has been selected. If the wrong selec-
tion is made, this could reduce the service life of the batteries or mean the charging
time takes longer.
The letter “ ” (liquid Electrolyte) or “ ” (gel) will appear flashing on the display according to the
current setting.
To change the setting press the key quickly (press and release the button in less than 1 second).
To make the setting operative press the key for at least 2 seconds. The display will confirm the
setting by showing the letter selected for one second (steady).
SELECTING THE NETWORK GROUP
This function enables the user to determine which network group the battery charger belongs to
(group “ ”, “ ” o “ ”). Only one battery charger of the MBC BATTERY CHARGER series can be-
long to each group. The other devices making up the group can be terminals, sensors or inter-
faces. A diagram is given below showing an example of a possible network:
