8.12 FLOAT VOLTAGE:
8.12.1. Settings:
8.12.1.1. Set the Voltage Control Selector to Float
8.12.1.2. Set the Current Selectors to zero.
8.12.2. Connect the Battery Cable to the battery and note the battery voltage.
8.12.3. Using the chart in figure 3 (page 19) find in the FLOAT column the closest
higher voltage (by at least 1V) to the observed voltage on the battery. Set the cell
selector to the value indicated in the Cell Selector column.
8.12.4. Start the Charger-Analyzer in Single Rate an advance the Topping current to 1A
8.12.5. Observe that the current will start to be reduced as the battery voltage approaches
the corresponding float voltage.
8.12.6. Example: for 24V measured on the battery set the cell selector to 22. This will
result in a float voltage of 25.6. As long at the voltage at the battery is less than
25.1, the charge current will be as programmed. As the voltage rises towards the
expected 25.6, the current will start to decrease and will settle on a value of
current to maintain the battery at 25.6
8.12.7. Depending on the condition of the battery, a charge current higher than the initial
1A may be required for the battery to rise to the expected float voltage.
Conversely, if the voltage rises too fast it will be necessary to select the next
higher reading (23 for 26.8V) and /or a lower charge current.
8.12.8. Verify that the Charger-Analyzer maintains the battery at the expected voltage
±0.2AV
8.13 PEAK VOLTAGE:
8.13.1. Settings:
8.13.1.1. Set the Voltage Control Mode to Peak.
8.13.1.2. Set both current selectors to zero
8.13.1.3. Program for a nominal battery voltage of 24V on the cell selector
(setting = 24).
8.13.2. Connect the CAL-100 Calibrator or a power supply (capable of producing at least
35V with very little current) in place of the battery.
8.13.3. Set the calibrator/power supply to 28.5V
8.13.4. Start the Charger-Analyzer in Dual rate. The current will rise to the programmed
value.
8.13.5. Increase the power supply/calibrator towards 29.4V. The Charger-Analyzer will
switch from Main to Topping at a battery voltage of 29.4V ±0.5V.
8.13.6. Return the Voltage Control Mode to CC.
