Product Manual
18 Manual Skylla with universal input
To change the boost-voltage:
Place DIP-switch 7 “Eq2” to the right and place DIP-switch 8 “R
boost” to the left. The charger switches into the boost-charge
mode.
Place DIP-switch 4 “fine” to the left position in order to accurately
adjust the output voltage.
Measure the boost-voltage on the charger output by using a
precision voltage meter.
Adjust the boost-voltage by turning the “V boost” potentiometer
until the recommended voltage is reached.
Replace DIP-switch 8 “R boost” to the right.
Correct the equalize time by moving DIP-switch 7 “Eq2” and 6 “Eq1”.
Place DIP-switch 4 “fine” to the right position. In this position the
output voltage is less sensitive to influence of temperature.
4.3 Adjusting the equalize-charging mode time
The duration of the equalize-charge mode can be changed to fit the specifications
of the battery. The duration of the equalize-charge mode can be set to 0, 4, 8 or
12 hours. When selecting 0 hours, the charger will skip the equalize-charge mode
and will directly switch into the float-charge mode. The standard equalize-time is 4
hours.
According to the table below the duration of the equalize-charge mode can be set
by moving the DIP-switches 7 “Eq2” and 6 “Eq1” in the corresponding way:
4.4 Diode-splitter charge voltage compensation.
If a diode-splitter (Victron Energy Argo) is connected to the Skylla
charger the charge voltage have to be raised to compensate for
the voltage loss over the diode-splitter.
If the voltage-sense option is used, do not use the diode-splitter
compensation. When both options are used simultaneously the
output voltage will be too high.
To select the diode-splitter option:
Place DIP switch 5 “split” to the left.
