TWO-STEP VOLTAGE JACK
The two-step voltage jack of the DLS-54-13 allows switching
from a long-term float voltage of 54.4vdc to a ‘high-stage’
voltage of 56.8vdc. When the included dual voltage plug is in-
serted in the jack*, the voltage rises to 56.8vdc for occasional
fast charging. When the plug is removed, the voltage drops to
54.4vdc to reduce battery water loss.
WARNING: To avoid
battery damage, remove the Dual Voltage Plug when
quick-charging is complete. NOTE: If the unit is equipped
with an internal IQ4 smart charger, two-step charging is not
needed and the Dual Voltage Jack is disabled.
CHARGE CONTROL FOR THE DLS-54-13
THE IQ4 LED INDICATOR
(ONLY ON IOTA mODELS WITH INTERNAL IQ4)
IOTA Models with an internal IQ4 smart-charger give the
user the benefit of automatic Bulk, Absorption, and Float
stage charging. This increases the charging capacity of
the IOTA charger, decreases charge times and insures
proper and safe battery charging without over-charging.
The green LED on the fan end of the unit will indicate which
charging phase the IOTA unit is currently in. When the unit
is first activated, the LED will flash as it reads the number
of cells in the battery. The unit will then proceed directly
to the Bulk charging or Float charging phase depending
on the charge status of the battery. Use the LED CODE
TABLE for reference when checking the LED. Units that do
not have an internal IQ4 smart-charger can easily install
an external IQ4** that plugs into the available Dual Voltage
Jack. Contact Customer Service for more information.
