1. Programming Modes

• A

-- Absorption voltage adjustment. Controls the length of allowable bulk voltage. Starts at value set by battery

program currently in use. Adjustment spans from 13.5 to 14.8 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet

and wait for LED to display

• A1

-- Absorption time adjustment. Controls the minimum length of non-calculated absorption charging. Standard

value set by battery program selected. Adjustment spans in tenths of hours from 12 minutes to six hours. To reverse

direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display

when desired value is indicated.

• F

-- Float voltage adjustment. Controls the maximum limit of allowable float voltage. Starts at value set by battery

program currently in use. Adjustment spans from 13.0 to 13.8 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet

and wait for LED to display

• F1

-- Float time adjustment. Controls the minimum time period for non-calculated float charging. Standard value

set by battery program selected. Adjustment spans in tenths of hours from 12 minutes to six hours. To reverse direc-

tion of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display

desired value is indicated.

• ap

-- Amp Manager. Governs the maximum field potential percentage

allowed. Can be used to de-tune alternator output. When "AP" is displayed

on the LED, activate switch. "OFF" code will be displayed. Release switch.

When "AP" is indicated, re-activate and hold switch with magnetic tool.

Display will decrement through percentage values (

Release when the desired percentage is indicated.

• e

-- Equalization voltage adjustment. Governs equalization/conditioning

voltage. Starts at value set by battery program currently in use. Adjustment

spans from 14.8 to 16.5 volts. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet

and wait for LED to display

release when desired value is indicated.

• e1

-- Equalization time adjustment. Controls the time period for equaliza-

tion/conditioning charging. Adjustment spans in tenths of hours from 30

minutes to three hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and

wait for LED to display

when desired value is indicated.

• fba

-- Controls the criteria the regulator uses to

determine how hard the alternator has to be work-

ing to stay in calculated bulk charging mode.

Factory set at 75% field output. Raising

ens calculated bulk charge time. Lower ing

increases calculated bulk charge time. Adjusted in

2% increments. Span of adjustment is 16% to 96%.

current is reduced when the the alternator temper-

ature sensor indicates an over-temp condition at the

alternator. Requires temperature sensor installa-

tion. Adjustable from 30°C to 125°C.

Notes On Battery Equalization

While the Max Charge regulator is capable of completing an equal-

ization exercise, keep in mind that it may be preferable to conduct

an equalization by using a shorepower charger.

Typically, an equalization may require that the batteries be kept at

a heightened voltage level for several hours at a time. As a result, it

may be inconvenient to be able to run your engine for the required

time period. In addition, most battery manufacturers recommend

that the batteries be closely monitored (most flooded batteries

should be inspected for specific gravity readings periodically, and

boiled electrolyte be replaced during the equalization cycle). This

may be difficult or impossible if attempting to equalize while under-

way.

When considering an equalization cycle for your batteries, it is

essential to determine the time and voltage requirements of your

batteries, prior to initiating the cycle. Your battery manufacturer

should be contacted directly for recommendations. Some manu-

facturers may recommend against equalizations, which may void

warranties if attempted against recommendations.

Use added care when equalizing batteries. Intentional overcharging

of batteries can result in overheating and release of corrosive gases.

Always provide ample ventilation for batteries while equalizing.

Using the Amp Manager

The Max Charge's Amp Manager feature

is a unique and powerful tool that's

capable of addressing and solving a

range of potential issues. By using the

Amp Manager to limit alternator horse-

power load, you can minimize belt dust-

ing and slippage caused by a too-small

belt. Inversely, if your alternator is under-

sized to support a large battery bank, the

Amp Manager function can be used to

reduce demand on the alternator and

minimize the possibility of alternator

overheating.
