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/deactivating the monitor mode.
Activating programming
Press the button provided on the control panel for 6 seconds in order to activate the programming proce-
dure. 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. When parallel-connected battery chargers are serving a group of
batteries, select the same charging mode for all the units included the group itself.
WARNING: check which battery charging mode has been selected. If the wrong selection 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
" ", " " or " "). Each network group can contain up to three battery chargers providing they are
connected in parallel. The other devices making up the group can be terminals, sensors or interfaces. A
diagram is given below showing an example of a possible network:
