BATTERY MENU
The BATTERY menu section allows the user to check the status of the battery voltage and the battery charging process. Both the
actual battery voltage and the temperature compensated battery voltage are provided. The battery charging process set points are
displayed along with the associated timer for the charging process. No adjustments are allowed from this section. To change the battery
charger’s operation, go the ADVANCED programming section. The values displayed are not defaults.

Selecting BATT displays the BATTERY ACTUALvoltage measured by the FX. If the RTS battery
temperature sensor is connected, then the actual battery voltage will probably not equal the
temperature compensated battery voltage. When charging, the FX uses the temperature
compensated battery voltage reading (next screen down) to obtain the charging voltages.
temperature sensor is connected, then the actual battery voltage will probably not equal the
temperature compensated battery voltage. When charging, the FX uses the temperature
compensated battery voltage reading (next screen down) to obtain the charging voltages.
This menu displays the BATTERY TEMP COMPENSATED voltage which is used by the battery
charger for regulation. The Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) must be connected to the Master FX
for temperature compensation. If the RTS is connected then this value will be higher than the
ACTUAL BATTERY VOLTAGE when the battery is hot and will be lower than the actual battery
voltage when the battery is cold. Refer to this value to verify the state of the charging process.
This is the battery charger set point for the absorb stage of the battery charging process. The
voltage will be held at the ABSORB SET POINT voltage level for the ABSORB TIME LIMIT period
that is set in the ADVANCED menu section. This value can only be changed in the ADVANCED
menu.

that is set in the ADVANCED menu section. This value can only be changed in the ADVANCED
menu.
The ABSORB TIME REMAINING is the period of time remaining for the absorb cycle. When the FX
is performing an absorb charge this time value will start counting down once the absorb voltage has
been reached. When this value reaches 0.0 hrs, the FX will go into SILENT (charger turns off) mode
until the battery voltage drops to the REFLOAT voltage.

This is the battery charger set point for the float stage of the battery charging process. After finishing
the absorb charging stage the charger turns off and waits for the battery voltage to drop to the refloat
voltage set point before the charger begins to float the battery. The voltage will be held at the FLOAT

SET POINT
voltage level for the float time period that is shown in the next screen down.
The FLOAT TIME REMAINING is the amount of time remaining for the float stage of the battery
charging process. The battery charger does not continuously float the batteries. It instead only floats
for the FLOAT TIME LIMIT period set in the ADVANCED menu section. Once the time period has
been met, the charger turns off (called SILENT on the SUMMARY screen). Only when the FX is in
the “Float” charging stage will the “float time remaining” value appear and start to count down.
The REFLOAT SET POINT is the battery voltage at which the battery charger will restart the float
charging process and hold it there for the FLOAT TIME PERIOD. This setting is compared with the
BATTERY ACTUAL voltage, not the BATTERY TEMP COMPENSATED voltage.

This is the battery charger set point for the equalize stage of the battery charging process. The
voltage will be held at the EQUALIZE SET POINT voltage level for the equalize time period that is
programmed in the ADVANCED menu section. The equalization process must be manually triggered
while an AC source is connected to the FX’s AC input. Equalize can be triggered by pressing the AC
IN button four times, pressing the EQ button then selecting START. EQ is not temp compensated.
The EQUALIZE TIME REMAINING is the amount of time remaining for the equalize stage of the
battery charging process. Once the EQUALIZE TIME period has been met, the charger turns off.
When the FX is in the “Equalize” charging stage, the “equalize time remaining” value appears and
starts to count down.
The BATTERY TEMP is a reference value used by the battery charger when an RTS is connected to
the FX. A displayed value of 255 means the sensor is not connected or has been damaged. At
normal room temperatures a value around 130 ± 15 will be shown. As the battery temperature
increases, the value displayed will get lower and vice versa.
