5. UNIT OPERATION
Understanding the Charger
The charger is a three bank battery charger that is capable of charging three battery banks
individually. The three battery banks must be the same battery type.
For the charging mechanism, if more than one bank is connected to the charger, the charger will
charge each individual bank continuously for 15 minutes and then switch to the different bank(s)
and cycle until all battery banks reach float mode. Once all battery banks reach float mode, all
the banks are connected in parallel through a separation diode and will be charged together.
The maximum current the charger can provide during the float mode is about ½ the maximum
current rating of the charger.
For charging GEL, AGM and Flooded batteries:
• The charger can be set to 2 stage (Bulk and Absorption mode) or 3 stage (Bulk, Absorption
and Float mode) charging.
• Each battery bank can have its own maximum charging current and absorption to float
mode current settings.
For charging Lithium batteries:
Each battery bank can have its own maximum charging current and termination current setting.
The charger process will terminate when the charging current drops to the set termination
current.
For using charger as Power Supply (Program setting):
The charger can be used as a constant voltage power supply that will deliver the preset output
voltage (13.3, 13.5, 13.7 V) with the maximum current setting. With this setting, only Bank 1
can be used and the other banks are disabled.
Understanding the Display during Operation:
During normal operation that include normal charging, priority charging and silent charging, the
numerical section on the display show battery voltage (e.g. 12.5V), charging current (e.g. 60A)
and charging stage (e.g. ‘bul’ – Bulk stage, ‘abs’ – Absorption stage , ‘flo’ – Float stage)
alternatively.
During equalization operation on flooded battery, the numerical section on the display show a
flashing ‘eq’ indicate the equalization process is in progress and it will not show the battery
voltage or the charging current.
Understanding the Unit ‘INFO’, ‘NEXT’ and ‘SET’ Button Functions:
To change charger setting,
• Press and hold ‘INFO’ key for longer than 3 seconds to enter charger
setting mode and shows function setting.
• Press ‘NEXT’ key once to save the setting and change the display to
display different setting.
• Press ‘SET’ key to select the displayed function.
• Once new setting is done, press ‘INFO’ again for longer than 3 seconds
to exit the charger setting mode.
Understanding the Three-Stage (Mode 3) Charging:
The Three-Stage Charging (Mode 3) has a Bulk, then Absorption and then Float sequence.
During the Bulk stage, the battery accepts the maximum constant current from the charger. In
the Absorption stage, the battery voltage is held to constant voltage and the charging current will
slowly reduce. In Float stage, the charger continuously produces voltage at a lower level to fully
top up and maintain the battery in a fully charged stage.
The charger will automatically restart the charging cycle in Bulk stage if the battery is discharged
to 12.5V. Also, after seven days, the charger will automatically restart the recharging cycle to
refresh the battery.
Understanding the Two-Stage (Mode 2) Charging:
The Two-Stage charging is similar to the Three-Stage charging except there is no float stage
after the absorption stage. The charger will terminate the battery charging after Absorption. After
seven days, the charger will automatically restart the charging cycle to refresh the battery.
Page 9
The charger will automatically restart the charging cycle in Bulk stage if the battery is discharged
to 12.5V. Also, after seven days, the charger will automatically restart the recharging cycle to
refresh the battery.
Understanding the Battery Temperature Functions:
Optional Battery Temperature Sensor KISAE Part Number #BTS-10K is highly recommended
with the charger to protect your battery and provide better charging voltage accuracy. The
battery temperature sensor senses the battery temperature and makes small adjustments to the
charging voltage. If the battery sensor is not in use or not available, you can manually set the
battery temperature. There are three manual battery temperature settings on the unit. The
battery temperature sensor will override the manual setting when the sensor is used. See below
for voltage adjustments for temperature compensation.

Procedure to Equalize Flooded Battery:
DANGER: Explosion Hazard. The battery generates explosive gases during equalization.
Follow all the battery safety precautions listed in the manual.
CAUTION: Risk of Battery and Equipment damage. Only the Flooded lead-acid can be
equalized. Consult your battery manufacturer or read the battery manual when you try to
equalize your batteries. Disconnect any DC load connected to the battery, as during
equalize mode, the charger will produce 16V to the batteries. You must monitor the battery
specific gravity throughout the equalization process to determine the end of the equalizing
cycle.
Charge batteries in one full cycle before you start equalized the batteries. Check the battery
electrolyte level. If necessary, refill with distilled water only. All cells should have similar
electrolyte levels. If distilled water is added, batteries must undergo a complete charge cycle.
The charger cannot determine when to terminate the equalization of the battery. A one hour
time-out is set and this is used as a safety feature to require the user to continually re-activate it
as necessary after checking batteries manually.
During equalization mode the other two banks are disabled.
Use the following procedure to setup the charger for battery equalization.
Page 11
Understanding the Priority Bank Charging Function
The charger comes with a unique ‘Priority’ bank charging function that allows the user to force
the charger to fully charge one of the three banks to float mode before it switches to other banks.
This function will only work for GEL, AGM, Flooded, and Lithium battery type setting only.
To set this function, see Appendix A in details.
Once the chosen bank is charged to float stage, this function will turn off automatically and it will
switch to charge the other 2 banks to float stage. Once all 3 banks reach float stage, the charger
will start the float charging process together.
Tips: Only use this mode if you want to fully charge a specific bank as soon as possible.
Understanding the Auto Mode Function
The charger also comes with another unique ‘Auto’ mode function that reduced the fan speed
and charger current automatically for a silent operation.
Tips: Use this function during night time or when a quiet environment is needed. Please also
note that the charging time will increase in this mode because the charger is not running
at maximum power.
This function can switch to ON or OFF at any time during the charging period.
To set this function, press and hold ‘SET’ button for 3 seconds to execute the ‘Auto’ mode. The
‘Auto’ icon will show on the display.
To turn this function off, press and hold the ‘SET’ function for 3 seconds to exit the ‘Auto’ mode.
The ‘Auto’ icon on the display will turn off and the charger current and the fan speed will return
to normal.
Understanding the Protection Features
De-rating Charging Current:
When the charger senses the environmental temperature is above 50°C, the maximum
charger current will de-rate to 1/2 of the value. It will recover automatically back to maximum
charging current when the environmental temperature drops to below 45°C. A02 warning code
will display.
Over Temperature Shutdown:
When the charger senses the environmental temperature is above 60°C, the charger will
shutdown. It will recover automatically when the environmental temperature drops to below
45°C.
Battery Reverse Polarity:
When a reverse polarity is connected to the battery bank, Fault Code E03 on display will
appear. In some case, the user replaceable DC fuse located near the DC Output terminals
may blow and Error code E08 will display.
AC Input Voltage Protection:
The charger will shutdown when it senses the AC input voltage is outside of the operating
range. A fault code will display. The charger will recover automatically when it senses the AC
input voltage has returned back to the normal operation range.
Charging Dead Battery
The charger is designed to charge batteries with terminal voltage greater than 2.5Vdc.
Understanding the Error Codes
Error codes will show on the display when either an internal fault such as high internal
temperature or external fault like AC input voltage out of range is detected. The unit will
shutdown.
