3.3.3 Activating equalisation or forced absorption

The MultiPlus can be put into both these states from the remote panel as well as with
the front panel switch, provided that all switches (front, remote and panel) are set to
"on" and no switches are set to "charger only".
In order to put the MultiPlus in this state, the procedure below should be followed.
NOTE: Switching from "on" to "charger only" and vice versa, as described below, must
be done quickly. The switch must be turned such that the intermediate position is
'skipped', as it were. If the switch concerned remains in the "off" position even for a
short time, the device may be turned off. In that case, the procedure must be restarted
at step 1. A certain degree of familiarisation is required when using the front switch in
particular. When using the remote panel, this is less critical.
1. Check whether all switches (i.e. front switch, remote switch or remote panel
switch if present) are in the "on" position.
2. Activating equalisation or forced absorption is only meaningful if the normal
charging cycle is completed (charger is in 'Float'). Set the switch to "charger
only", "on" and "charger only" in rapid succession. NOTE: the switching
operation itself must be done quickly, but the time between switching must
lie between 1/2 second and 2 seconds.
3. The "bulk", "absorption" and "float" LEDs will now flash five times.
Subsequently, the "bulk", "absorption" and "float" LEDs will each light for 2
seconds.
4. If switch is set to "on" while the "bulk" LED lights, the charger will be put into
equalisation operation.
5. If switch is set to "on" while the "absorption" LED lights, the charger will be
put into forced absorption operation.
If the switch is not in the required position after following this procedure, it can be
switched over quickly once. This will not change the charging state.
