Adjustments with remote panel Phoenix
Charger Control
WARNING: Always check with your battery
supplier if the choosen charge characteristic
is suitable for your battery and application
• Remove the frontplate and connect the
Phoenix Charger Control panel to the 8-pin
modular jack.
• Disconnect battery, Voltage sense and
Temperature sense. A voltmeter is not required
but may be useful.
• While switching on keep one of the
pushbuttons ⇑ & ⇓ pushed.
• Release pushbutton.
• The adjust knob on the remote panel controls
the adjust-mode; the LED’s on the charger
correspond with the knob as follows:

• Push ⇑ for up and ⇓ for down.
• LED indicators on remote panel read the
value as follows:
LED flashing = 1 step
LED on = 2 steps
1 bar flashing = 9 steps
Left bar is [step x10], right bar is [step x1].
To read the Float and Absorption adjustment the
lowest value in the table has to be added:

• Turn the knob to another adjust-mode to store or
switch Off to escape.
• Switch Off and On to start normal charging
sequence.
• Replace the frontplate.
Warning: If the knob is not turned after an
adjustment the charger will not store this
adjustment. If the Float or Absorption voltage
was adjusted and the charger is not switched off
this voltage will remain on the outputs.

The optimum absorption voltage of flat plate lead acid batteries depends on mechanical and chemical properties. Batteries with high antimony
doping can general be charged with a lower absorption voltage than batteries with low antimony doping, like the Victory carbon fibre battery.
