• Equalize Battery Charge
(DIP Switch #3, Group B)
This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the internal resistance
of your battery's cells. This can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries; consult with
your battery's manufacturer to determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The
charge equalization process is automatic and once started can only be stopped by removing the
input power.
• Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) position for three seconds.
• Move to “Reset” (UP) position and leave it there.

• Limit Battery Charger
(DIP Switch #4, Group B)
Your APS has a high powered charger. To prevent it from overheating smaller batteries, its charg-
er is initially set to deliver only a fraction of its maximum power rating to connected batteries. If
you are using it with a larger battery or battery system (over 100 amp-hours), you may switch
your charger to full power without overheating your batteries.
