Equalization Manual and Auto
Manual EQ
To do a manual Equalization charge, go into the Charge menu and highlight ―EQ‖ and press ―Enter‖. Now
―EQ Stopped‖ will be highlighted. Scroll up to select ―EQ Started‖. Press the ―Status‖ button to return to
the home screen. To stop a manual EQ in progress simply reverse the steps above. A manual EQ when
started will last for that day unless the Classic is on Hydro or Wind and the controller never goes to
Resting that night. In this case, it will stay in EQ until it completes or the controller goes to Resting.
Auto EQ
The Classic can be set up to automatically equalize your batteries periodically, programmed as days
between Equalization and the number of days the Classic will try to finish the programmed equalization
charge cycle.To set up Auto EQ go into the CHARGE menu and highlight ―EQ‖ and press ―Enter‖. Now
press the SOFT RIGHT key labeled "AUTO EQ". Pressing the AUTO EQ soft key enters the Auto EQ
setup menu screen. The left side of the EQ setup menu will show and select the number of days, or
"interval‖ between auto EQ charge cycles. If set to zero (0), it will display MANUAL which is the same
thing as DISABLED.
Figure 18
On the right side of the Auto EQ setup menu is the number of DAYS that the Auto EQ will retry if it does
not finish the number of Hours and Minutes the Classic has been programmed to EQ for during the first
day. For instance, you set the Auto EQ for an interval of every 30 days and the RE-TRY for 3 days. Then
the first day it attempts an EQ, the Classic only accumulates 1 hour of a 2 hour EQ cycle, the next day the
Classic will re attempt the EQ cycle. If the Classic still didn't finish the EQ cycle on the 2nd day of its 3
allotted re-try days, it will have one more day to try to finish the Equalize cycle. After this, if it did not
complete the 2 hours of EQ time, it will not continue another day. The Classic will show ―EQ DONE" on
the status screen until either the start of the next day or until the user presses a button on the MNGP to
stop it earlier.
At the bottom of the AUTO EQ screen shows the time, in hours and minutes, that the EQ is set
for.Pressing the Soft Right key, labeled "VIEW", takes you to a screen where you can view the interval
and re-try counters (timers).
