1. Incoming AC voltage 115 or 230 volts.

2. Battery voltage - 12 or 24 volts DC.

3. Battery type - Lead Acid/Ni-Cad or 18 Cell / Ni-Cad 10 or 20 Cell.

If battery charger is powered with incorrect settings, damage to the charger and/or batteries may occur.

The Firetrol Battery charge feature a fully automatic 4 Step charging cycle. The charging cycle are as indicate :

Step 2 : Fast Charge (solid yellow LED). Charges the batteries until they reach peak voltage.

Step 3 : Bulk Charge (Solid yellow LED and slow blinking green LED). Charges the batteries at a constant potential of peak voltage until current reaches 500mA.

Step 4 : Float charge (Solid Green LED). Trickle charges the batteries to maintain peak potential.

The battery charger also includes the following :

- Selectable AC power voltage ( 115 or 230 V )
