213.3 Selecting the Charging ModeThe TPSD has two different settings for DC output voltage, float mode and equalize mode. Float charging modeis used for all normal battery charging needs, in the case of the TPSD the float mode can also be used forbattery elimination (directly powering the DC load from the TPSD). Equalize mode is used when it is necessaryto equalize (or balance) the level of charge across all cells present in the battery. Consult the batterymanufacturer for the proper equalize procedures.Refer to Float/Eq voltage in Adjusting Parameters section forFloat and Equalize voltage levels adjustments.There are two LEDs on the front panel that indicate the current mode of the charger. If the charger is in Floatmode simply press the CHARGE MODE button to switch into Equalize mode. If the charger is in Equalize modeit will automatically switch back to Float mode after the designated equalize time, alternatively the charger canmanually be switched to float mode by pressing the CHARGE MODE button again.3.3.1 Equalize Timer ModesThe TPSD battery charger has five different modes of Equalize charging operation. The Equalize mode can beviewed on the charger display by pressing the down button. The equalize mode can be changed via SettingsMenu. In all of the equalize modes, the charger will immediately return to float mode if the CHARGE MODEbutton is pressed.Mode 0 (Auto EQ OFF)Mode 0 is a manual equalize cycle and is the default setting for the charger. When the charger is set for mode0 the equalize cycle must be activated manually. Once activated the equalize timer will turn on and the “EQ”LED will light. The length of the timer is eight hours by default and can be changed via Customer Calibration.After the timer cycles to zero the charger will automatically return to the float mode. Equalize mode will notstart again until it is manually activated by the user.Mode 1 (7 Day Auto EQ)Mode 1 is an automatic equalize cycle that activates every seven days. The length of the equalize cycle isdetermined by the timer setting. The length of the timer is eight hours by default and can be changed viaCustomer Calibration. After the timer cycles to zero the charger will automatically return to the float mode.Equalize mode will restart again after seven days.Mode 2 (14 Day Auto EQ)Mode 2 is an automatic equalize cycle that activates every 14 days. The length of the equalize cycle isdetermined by the timer setting. The length of the timer is eight hours by default and can be changed viaCustomer Calibration. After the timer cycles to zero the charger will automatically return to the float mode.Equalize mode will restart again after 14 days.Mode 3 (30 Day Auto EQ)Mode 3 is an automatic equalize cycle that activates every 30 days. The length of the equalize cycle isdetermined by the timer setting. The length of the timer is eight hours by default and can be changed viaCustomer Calibration. After the timer cycles to zero the charger will automatically return to the float mode.Equalize mode will restart again after 30 days.Mode 4 (Auto EQ on LV)Mode 4 is an automatic equalize cycle that activates when the DC voltage drops below the low voltage setting(default set at 1.98 V/C for LA) for 30 seconds or longer. The battery voltage must rise to approximately 8%above the low voltage set point for equalize mode to activate. After the equalize timer cycles to zero thecharger will automatically return to float mode. The time delay, low voltage value, and reset percentage are alladjustable via the settings menu. |
