p 3-step

The PROsine will perform the Bulk, Absorption/Overcharge, and Float steps

p 2-step

The PROsine will only perform the Bulk, Absorption/Overcharge, and
Standby steps. Some battery manufacturers and users believe that batteries
should not be Float charged.

p CVCC

Constant Voltage Constant Current mode (also called “Constant Mode”). This
mode is not intended as a standalone battery charger. It may be used as a
power supply mode but still requires the presence of a battery in the system.

Charger Hi V
Warning Offset

This is an offset voltage ranging from 1.0 to 4.0V. If the battery voltage exceeds
the sum of the Maximum Voltage in the present charging stage and the Charge Hi
V Warning Offset the PROsine will sound a warning. If there are other sources
charging the battery this value can be increased from the default 1.0V value to
prevent nuisance warnings from the PROsine. High voltages can reduce the life of
the batteries and pose a safety hazard; the charge high battery voltage warning is
intended to warn of an unsafe condition.
