12.2 TECH MENU
The Tech Menu is reached by pressing the RIGHT ARROW then the LEFT ARROW 4 times in the
default display, then entering the code which is set to “0001”.
The first display in the Tech menu is the Control board version and date. Exiting the Tech Menu is
accomplished by pressing the LEFT ARROW button.
Press the DOWN ARROW button and you can get to the following menus.
12.2.1 RELAY START
This menu will only be available, if the charger has an optional ALARM I/O Relay Board. If the
user presses the RIGHT ARROW button at the “Relay Start” display, the ALARM I/O Relay Board
LEDs and Relay contacts can be tested to verify they are working properly.
12.2.2 LEDS ARE OFF
This menu allows the user to test the four LEDs on the Control Board to verify they are
functioning properly. In the Tech Menu, all LEDs are turned off. Press the RIGHT ARROW
button and the display will toggle between “LEDs are off” and “LEDs are on”, the LEDs should
turn on and off accordingly.
12.2.3 DISP (DISPLAY VOLTAGE MODE)
This menu allows the user to change how the voltages in the menu are displayed, and in the 130
Volt DC chargers it allows the user to change the number of cells the charger is setup to charge.
The factory default mode for this is to show the set point values as volts per cell. (Example: Float
2.25 v/c)
In the 130-Volt Chargers, this menu allows the user to change the charger’s number of cells to
57, 58, 59 or the default value of 60. (Example: 57Cells)
If the Display Voltage mode is changed to “Volts”, all values shown on the display as volts per cell
will now be shown as total voltage. (Example: Float 27.00V)
