Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing our new Multi-Stage (IU0U) Switching Mode Battery Charger.
This series of advanced chargers use Micro-Processor to control the charging profiles and protective functions.
The special charging programs are designed to charge both stand alone battery and battery with connected loads.
Innovative charging profiles blend in with the ever changing “state of charge” of the batteries to give just the right amount of
current and voltage so your batteries will not be under or over charged. There are 8 sets of selectable charging profiles
specifically designed for a wide range of Wet, Gel, AGM, LiFePO4, Calcium-Calcium and now also Lead Crystal batteries.
There are also two User programmable charging profiles for the professional users via the USB port by personal computer.
In addition, the programmed maintenance charge provides a timely Equalization charge for the Wet lead acid battery.
Almost all the protections are controlled by the Micro-Processor. On start-up, the charger runs a series of self-tests on the
protective functions, displays and critical components like the cooling fan.
The optional detachable Remote Control Panel provides exceptional monitoring of the batteries, charger output, protection status,
hours of operation, etc.
Intended Use:
All Automotive, Marine, Mobile Home, RV, Electric Scooters, Golf Carts, Solar, Deep Cycle, UPS Standby, Industrial &
Commercial Applications.

D. Testing the charger with output open circuit (nothing connected to the output terminal)
On power up, the charger will do a self-check during which all LED indicators are on & fan runs at full speed for a few seconds.
If Self-test was OK; Then the Charger On and the Absorption LED’s will stay on.
After 5 minutes (no load) the Float LED will be come on and Absorption LED off.
Remark: Power Supply Mode
You can connect Loads directly to the output terminal without a Battery and the charger will provide a constant DC source
Voltage according to the ‘Battery type’ and available ‘Output power’ (current) settings selected, (as detailed in Sections B3 & C.)
This feature is handy for caravan installer to check the operation of connected powered appliance or connections.
E. Battery Charger Installation and Connection
Observe the warnings & safety precautions before rushing to install and operate the charger.
Check battery condition, fill up cells for wet battery, clean battery poles.
Secure the battery charger in a well ventilated place, make sure the mounting surface is flat and without soft covering material or
loose paper sheet. The air intake is at the bottom and air outlet at the back. Make sure both intake and outlet are not blocked.
Never place charger on top of battery.
Plug in the AC mains and turn on Power Switch. All the indicators on the front panel will light up, cooling fan spins at full speed
for 10 seconds by means of Self-Testing.
After self-test mode the Charger ON LED and either Bulk LED or Absorption LED will be lit initially (depending on the state of
the battery).
After 5 minutes, if the battery is in a high state of charge, the charger float LED will be lit, otherwise the charger can stay in
either Bulk or Absorption mode for longer periods if needed.
Before connecting or disconnecting the charging cable, turn off the Power Switch and unplug AC cord from the mains.
First connect the Battery Chargers Positive (+) terminal to the Battery Positive (+) Post. Then connect the Chargers Negative (–)
terminal to the Battery Negative (–) Post.
Make sure all the connections are clean, secured and tight. Double check for correct polarity.
Double check again for correct selection of Battery Selection Switch (4) for battery type (default at AGM Pos 4) and Charging
Current Selection Switch (5) for output current setting (default at 100%)
When installed in caravans and similar vehicles, the connection to the supply mains is to be in accordance with national wiring
rules.
When charging automotive batteries:
- The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to the chassis,
remote from the battery and fuel line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains;
- After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and then the
battery connection.

F. Normal 4-Stage (IUoU) Charging Operation
The 4-stage IUOU charge algorithm ensures fast, complete and at the same time gentle charging of the lead acid battery.
Charging Profile
Stage 1. THE I-PHASE. [BULK mode] Constant current charging, Bulk LED is ON.
Normally the battery is charged at constant maximum current until it rises to the selected Absorption voltage level.
The charging voltage changes with the battery voltage.
Soft-Start Bulk Charging: Bulk LED flashes slow
If at the start of charging, the battery voltage is less than 10.5V, the bulk charge current is reduced to half of what the charging
current selector is set at, until the battery voltage rises to 12.0V. This soft start charging mode will repeatedly check the voltage
every 10 minutes until the battery voltage rises to 12.0V. If the battery voltage cannot reach 12.0V after 4 hours, unit will go into
fault mode and output is shut off. If this happens it is advisable to disconnect any active heavy load on the battery and check the
chargers output current setting. To reset the charger; switch it off for longer than 30seconds, then back on.
Remark:
If the battery keeps the charger at Bulk mode for 12 hours, the charger will automatically switch to Float mode.
Stage 2. THE UO-PHASE. [ABSORPTION mode] Constant voltage charging, Absorption LED is ON.
When the battery voltage reaches the selected Absorption voltage level.(Battery select Switch 4).
The charging mode switches to Constant voltage charging (Absorption stage). Charging current will now decrease gradually
until a pre-set value at which the charger then automatically switches to Float Stage. The max. Absorption time is also controlled
by the time in Bulk charge, and battery type selected.
Stage 3. THE UO-PHASE. [FLOAT mode] Constant voltage charging, Float LED is ON.
In Float stage, the battery is full and only takes in the amount of current necessary for maintaining the capacity.
The float voltage is preset according to the type of battery selected by the user.(Battery select Switch 4).
If the charger stays in this mode with charging current less than 5A for over 72 hours. Then the charger will automatically
Switch into the Standby mode.
Stage 4. THE UO-PHASE. [STANDBY mode] Constant voltage charging, Float LED is ON.
Note; Only applies to certain Battery types [See Specs section. O].
In Standby stage, The charging voltage at this mode will be 4% less than the standard Float voltage.
This lower charging voltage level reduces drying out of electrolyte liquid & helps to prolong the life of an inactive battery.
New Cycle Charge every 21 days
The Charger will automatically start a new charging cycle of Bulk to Absorption to Float every 21 days in either standby or float
mode. This new cycle of charging will refresh the battery to prevent separation of the electrolyte & keep the electrode plates in
good working condition during long periods of storage of the Caravan/RV or back up battery applications.
Remark:
Charger can provide the full selected max current in Float or Standby mode. If battery voltage drops to 12.5V for approx. 10
minutes in Float or Standby mode: The charger will start a new cycle of charging.

G. STORAGE
If the RV/ etc. is in storage for an extended period of time and no solar panels are available to charge the battery, To help guard
against Self-discharge of the Battery;
• Leave the AC power connected & the Battery Charger turned on.
• ENSURE ALL loads are turned OFF or Dis-connected from the Battery.
The charger has an automatic Standby Charge Mode and a 21 day New Cycle charge to take care of the battery in storage.
• Or disconnect the Battery charger from the battery if the AC Mains is to be disconnected or turned off.
Warning;
Batteries on charge should not be left unattended for extended periods. The charging process & battery condition should be
checked regularly.
H. User Define Charging Profiles (first install the HBC software & drivers onto your PC)
Connect the charger to the personal computer via the USB port (6) then you can set your own charging configuration.
There are two positions allocated to store the user charge profiles.(Battery Selection Switch (4) position 8 or 9 )
Note; The Maximum time these two profiles can run is 99 hours. The output will then stop until charger is reset.
I. Equalization Charging for wet type battery only
Warning: Explosion Hazard
Explosive gases from battery during equalization, extreme care must be exercised.
Caution: Only flooded lead acid battery which must have had one complete charge cycle before equalization charge.
Make sure electrolyte level is sufficient. Disconnect all DC load connected to the battery.
Exercise extreme care to comply with the above cautions when Auto-Equalization is selected.
Wet lead acid batteries requires periodic higher voltage charging (about 10% over usual absorption voltage) to balance the
Voltage of each cell, reverse the high concentration of electrolyte at the bottom and clear up large sulfate crystals on the plates.
You can use the Equalization Selection Switch (8) to perform the manual equalization through optional remote display or Auto
equalization by charger itself.
Once Auto is selected, the charger will start Equalization automatically if charger stays in Float mode for over 21 days.
After entering into this mode, the Absorption indicator (Amber LED) will flash & the Equalization will run for 240 minutes.
The charger will then go back to Float once completed.
Remark: 1. This mode only can be operated at WET (Flooded) selection (Battery Selection Switch (4) set to position 1)
2. Any time during this mode, Pressing the FUNC button on the optional remote display(HBR-3100) for 5 seconds
will force the Equalization mode to end and the charger to re-enter Float mode.
3. Take special precautions as battery will emit explosive gas especially during equalization charge.
J. Dual bank charging
This feature is for applications where there are two totally separate batteries.
The two batteries must be of the same type (chemical makeup) & capacity to avoid over and under charging because you can
only select one battery type charging profile for both banks.
The two banks are charged simultaneously and the battery with the lowest level (lower resistance)gets most share of the current
in the Bulk stage until it catches up to the same voltage level as the second battery (battery with higher initial level).
Both batteries will go to the Absorption and the Float Charge at the same time.
K. Temperature Sensor
Warning:
The temperature sensor must be installed at the Negative Terminal of the
battery terminal, In-correctly connecting to the Positive Terminal will
damage the charger and the sensor.
The temperature sensor (accessory) is used for optimal charging over a wide
ambient temperature range.
The Temperature sensor should be positioned so as not to be affected by any
other cooling or heating source.
Plug in the temperature sensor before switching on the charger to activate
the temperature control function, Never plug in the Sensor during
charging.
Compensation voltage for this temperature sensor is 20mV/C, the higher the
battery temperature, the lower the charging voltage.
When battery temperature reaches 60°C, the charger will shut-down, Fault
and OTP indicator LED’s will light up.
