Title: pronautic 1230P
Post by: Ken Juul on May 06, 2017, 06:19:46 PM
What is the trick to get the charger into equalizaton mode? Following the directions, but nothing happens. Holding the setup button, but can't get the lights to flash.

Equalization is enabled only if you selected "Flooded" as your battery type.  Check that.
  1. Press and hold the "Setup/Enter" button for 5 seconds.
  2. The current battery type and Voltage/Amperage displays will flash.


Also, I'm not sure why you are holding the setup button to activate equalization. The manual I looked at says,
  1. Use the  UP and DN arrow buttons to select the Equalization LED.
  2. Once selected press both the UP and DN buttons together for 3 seconds.
  3. The LED will remain solid, putting the unit in the equalization setting for 240 minutes.
  4. Once complete, the charger will revert back to the previous setting.

I can't get past the first step.  Holding the setup/enter button and the v/a lights will not flash.  In fact all the buttons seem to do nothing.

Press & hold for 5-7 seconds then RELEASE and the lights should start to flash...

That was the trick!  Thanks, I'll make a note in my instructions.

If manufacturers did not regularly screw up manuals what would we have left to do... :thumb:
