Operation
1. Connect the unit to the DC power source and batteries being charged.
2. Press the Power Button on the unit’s front panel.
3. The battery charger will go through its startup sequence. All 6 microprocessor-controlled
LEDs ash red and then green. When the Power Button starts glowing, the sequence is
complete.
4. The charger will automatically begin charging the connected batteries according to the
settings selected during setup. See Conguration Mode for more information.
The BCDi320 battery charger is designed for simple and intuitive operation. It is intended to
operate fully unattended and will attempt to recover from any fault, including Charger Over-
Temperature, Battery Over-Temperature, Low Input Voltage, Input Power Failure and more.
In addition to being a battery charger, the BCDi320 is also capable of functioning as a power
supply. While in Power Supply Mode, the unit’s functionality is changed in the following
ways:
• The DC (Battery) Outputs will be live regardless of whether or not a battery is detected.
• The End-of-Charge Switch and Stage Select Switch have no function.
• The Equalize Start button has no function.
• The Power Supply’s output voltage is same value as the Battery Charger’s oat voltage.
This value can be changed using PowerWizard. See the PowerWizard manual, for more
information.
BATTERY CHARGER MODE
In Charger mode, the LED indicators show the amount of current being supplied to the
battery. This current drops and the battery voltage rises as charging nishes.
