Operation
Located on the front of the Titan charger are an on/off switch and three rows of leds, as
shown in illustration 5.
The battery charger can be switched on and off with the on/off switch.
The "output voltage" leds indicate the output voltage value.
The "output current" leds indicate the output current value.
The other leds indicates the state of the charger.
The operation sequence:
Explosive gasses can occur during charging a lead-acid
battery. Prevent flames and sparks.
Provide adequate ventilation during charging.
Switching the charger on with the on/off switch results in the following:
The "on" led will flash for about 2 seconds. In these first 2 seconds the charger reads all
input signals and calculates the necessary output voltage. After 2 seconds the charger
will switch on and the "on" led illuminates.
According to the condition of the battery the charger will start in the boost-charge mode
or at float-charge mode. If the battery is not full the "boost" led illuminates and the
charger will start boost-charging the battery.
A dip switch can be used to set the charger so that it will always start charging in the
boost mode, irrespective of the condition of the battery.
When the battery voltage has reached the boost voltage the charger will change into the
equalize-charge mode and the "equalize" led illuminates. This mode will last for a pre-
selectable time of 4, 8 or 12 hours.
After this time the charger will enter the float-charge mode and the "float" led will
illuminate.
