ADDITIONAL FEATURES
MULTIPLE BATTERY COMPATIBILITY
The charger will properly charge a wide variety of battery types, including Conventional, Maintenance Free,
AGM, Gel Cell, Spiral Wound and Deep Cycle batteries.
SMART CLAMP TECHNOLOGY
The charger will send power to the output leads only when a proper battery connection is made.
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
Guards against reverse connections. POLARITY LED will light on control panel and power will not be sent to output
cables if a reverse connection is sensed.
BATTERY FAULT PROTECTION
Guards against excessively charging compromised batteries. ERROR and CHARGING LED will flash indicating charging
has stopped and the charger has detected a compromised battery. Conditions that cause this error include: if the battery
voltage does not rise appropriately during the charging process (indicating a shorted cell) or if the maximum charge time
has been exceeded.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Guards against shorted connections. ERROR LED will light solid on control panel and power will not be sent to output
cables. This condition is triggered if the charger detects less than 1V across the clamps. See Operating Instructions Step
4 Note 2 for details regarding this feature.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Guards against charging errors where the charger is programmed to charge in a different voltage than the detected
voltage of the battery. When this safeguard is engaged, the charger display will read “OUP”. To reset the charger,
disconnect from AC outlet, reset the vehicle connections and reconnect to the AC outlet.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Guards against overheat conditions within the charger. If this safety feature is engaged, the display will read “Ohc” and
the ERROR LED will flash. The charger will enter a standby mode and resume operation once the charger’s internal
components have cooled, which could take 5-20 minutes, or more. Ensure that there is sufficient space around the charger
for ventilation and that nothing is obstructing the fan. If this safety feature is engaged repeatedly, listen for fan noise. If you
do not hear the fan turn prior to reaching an overheat condition, suspect an inoperable fan. The unit should be returned for
warranty replacement if under warranty. If the unit is out of warranty, you should consider replacing the unit.
POWER SUPPLY MODE
Your PRO-LOGIX Battery Charger can also be used to supply steady power to maintain system voltage during an
on-vehicle repair. When using the charger in Power Supply mode, we recommend that the battery be fully charged. If
necessary, run a full charging cycle prior to engaging the Power Supply mode. The Power Supply mode will not activate
if the vehicle’s battery is below 11.0VDC. Also, this operational mode is intended for use in a wide variety of repair
applications, but is not intended for use when flash reprogramming vehicle modules – such reprogramming requires
amperages great than the output of this charger.
Upon making a proper battery connection (see Section F or G as applicable), plug AC power cord into an AC receptacle.
All unit LEDs will light momentarily, then only the LEDs corresponding to charging settings should stay lit. The charger is
now in Standby Mode. To activate the Power Supply mode, push the VOLTS button until the LED corresponding to Power
Supply is lit. Note that this will disable all other controls and settings, such as battery type and charge rate settings. Press
the START/STOP button to engage the Power Supply mode.
When the unit is operating in Power Supply mode, the display will show “PS” and the green Charging Complete LED will
be lit. In this mode, the charger will supply steady power with a goal of maintaining steady system voltage at 14.1VDC,
allowing the current supplied to the battery/system to vary as needed from 0-20 amps. If there is an increase in system
need, the charger will react to it and supply as much current, up to 20A, as needed to maintain system voltage. If system
voltage drops below 13.2VDC, the amber Charging in Progress LED will light in addition to the green Charging Complete
LED to alert you that the charger may not be keeping up with system demand.
Like battery charging, if at any time during Power Supply mode operation, you wish to stop the charger, you can push the
START/STOP button to return the unit to Standby Mode.
