Setup
METER: 03 Timers
• 03A Charge Time – This meter displays the total time the charger is holding the batteries
at a high voltage level—defi ned as 0.2 volts greater than the fl oat voltage setting. The timer
counts when in the Bulk, Absorption, or Equalization charge stages (or in the Constant Cur-
rent and Constant Voltage charge stages if CC/CV is selected under the SETUP: 03C Battery
Type menu). The meter does not accumulate time when in Float, Charger Standby, Full, or
Silent mode. The charge timer resets whenever the charge status goes to “Charging” (AC
connected to inverter/charger), or the charger initiates another Bulk, EQ, or Constant Current
charge cycle.
Info: The displayed 03A Charge Time value is used by the Max Charge Time feature
to determine when to display “Max Charge Time,” and to blink the CHG LED indicator.
Info: The Max Charge Time safety feature is set and enabled based on the battery type
that is selected under the SETUP: 03C Battery Type menu:
a) If battery type is CC/CV – the Set Max CC/CV Time setting is available once Set CV
Chg Done Time (or Amps) is selected under the SETUP: 03C Battery Type/CC/CV menu.
b) If battery type is not ‘CC/CV’ – the SETUP: 03F Max Charge Time menu is available
to set the maximum charge time.
• 03B Since Absorb Done – This meter displays the number of days since the Absorption
charge mode was completed. This menu resets to zero once an Absorb Done parameter is met
as per the SETUP: 03D Absorb Done Time, Amps, or SOC settings.
Info: The 03B Since Absorb Done timer also resets to zero if the Absorption charge
mode is fi nished prematurely due to the starting of another charge mode—such as
enabling a Start Float charge (using CTRL: 02 CHG Control/Start Float).
• 03C Since EQ Start – This meter displays the number of days since the EQ charge mode has
been enabled. This menu resets to zero once equalization has started. The SETUP: 03H EQ
Reminder Days menu uses the time shown in this menu to determine when to indicate it is
time to perform an Equalization charge to the batteries.
