Cycling this switch 

ON

 for 1 

second, then 

OFF

, will initiate an equalizing charge cycle. The battery charger 

must be engaged before cycling the switch. The switch must always be left in the 

OFF

 position. If it is left 

ON

, an equalizing charge cycle will initiate every time the 

charger is engaged - this could cause battery damage. The equalizing cycle is 
timed to last 8 hours from the time the switch is cycled, at which point the charger 
resumes normal charging in the float stage. The BATTERY LED blinks when 
equalizing. Refer to page 3–14 for a discussion of the theory and procedure for 
battery equalizing.

Gel cell and wet cell batteries have slightly 

different charge voltage requirements and optimum battery charging is 
temperature dependent. For these reasons, the DIP switches allow four different 
battery charger voltage set points, depending on battery type and ambient 
temperature:

See page 3–16 for the specific voltages for each setting.

With the switch in the 

OFF

 position, the remote panel 

ON

/

OFF

 switch only controls the inverter operation. With the switch turned 

ON

, this 

switch allows the power 

ON

/

OFF

 switch on the front of the remote to control the 

battery charger as well as the inverter.
