Equalization
Notes • During the equalization process the gassing rate of the batteries will
be dramatically increased. Ensure that adequate ventilation is
provided during this period.
• During the equalization process the converter status LEDs should
be as follows:
– On/Standby LED is Green, indicating On.
– Alarm LED is not lit.
– Equalize Current LED is Yellow, indicating current >10A.
• As the equalization process proceeds the battery current will
steadily decrease and the Equalize Current LED will go off; this is
normal operation.
• At the end of the 12/24-hour period the converter should switch to
standby mode, and LEDs should be as follows:
– On/Standby LED is Yellow, indicating Standby.
– Alarm LED is not lit.
– Equalize Current Yellow LED is flashing, indicating that the
equalization process is complete.
• The equalization process will terminate automatically after a period
of time set by the switch on the back of the converter (12/24 hours).
