Summary

State of the Art Microprocessor Controlled Charge Algorithm

Variable Absorption Time for Optimal Charging

Optimizes absorption time based on battery discharge depth to prevent overcharging.

Storage Mode for Reduced Maintenance

Reduces voltage and periodically equalizes to minimize corrosion and gassing.

Safety Regulations and Measures

Adhere to Installation Instructions

Follow installation guidelines carefully to ensure safe operation and prevent hazards.

Avoid Explosive Environments

Avoid use in potentially explosive environments due to gas or dust presence.

Comply with Local Regulations

Ensure all connections and safety measures comply with local regulations.

Replace Damaged Power Cords

Damaged power cords require immediate replacement by qualified personnel.

Do Not Charge Non-Rechargeable Batteries

Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries as it can be hazardous.

Installation and Instructions for Use

Proper Installation Location

Install charger in a well-ventilated area, not directly above the battery.

Connect DC Cable

Connect the charger using the provided XLR charging connector to the battery.

Connect AC Mains Cable
