Battery Master closely monitors and displays a battery's state of charge.
A three light LED Display with battery fault indicator easily gives the forklift
operator a quick overview of the battery condition, and instructs the operator
when a battery meets specific charging requirements.

BATTERY STATES
Battery Master’s Specific Instruction Display indicates the battery’s state of charge and action required by the Operator.
Do not charge (green) |
| |
Charging in the DO NOT CHARGE range is destructive charging.
Destructive charging wastes energy, reduces battery life, and
increases water consumption. When the DO NOT CHARGE indicator
is illuminated, the battery has sufficient charge to complete
at least one full shift.
|
| |
Ok to charge (yellow) |
| |
The OK TO CHARGE instruction indicates the battery has
sufficient capacity remaining to complete the present shift.
This setting is programmable to enforce maximum discharge
policies or to allow batteries to be charged without interrupting
workflow. Charging in this range is constructive charging
and produces good lifetime battery capacity. The OK TO CHARGE
indicator is backed up with an optional 5-minute variable alarm.
|
| |
Must charge (red) |
| |
Operating the battery until the MUST CHARGE instruction is
illuminated produces maximum lifetime capacity, greatest number
of shifts per charge, and lowest per ampere charging costs.
Charging in the MUST CHARGE range is used when mid-shift battery
changes do not adversely affect workflow. The MUST CHARGE
indicator is programmable to maximize battery use to the
specific requirements of the workflow. Once the red light is
illuminated, a warning beeps every 5 seconds, advising the
Operator in advance that he/she has 10 minutes of lift operation
before "lift lockout" engages. The "lift lockout"
cannot be bypassed or defeated. Note: Lift lockout is normally
programmed to engage at 80% discharged.

Battery Fault Indicator |
| |
The Battery Fault Indicator advises the Operator that a problem
is developing with the battery. Problems detected could be: cell
failure beginning, problem with inter cell connector, broken battery
post, bad SB connector, etc. Minor battery problems are detected
before they become a major repair expense, and overall battery
maintenance costs are reduced.

DIGITAL COMPENSATING CALIBRATOR
The hand-held Digital Compensating Calibrator is used to field calibrate the
Battery Master to your charging policies. The available range is 12 to 72
volts DC. Exclusive microprocessor technology eliminates guesswork and allows
the setting to be quickly and precisely raised or lowered, regardless of the
battery’s state of charge, facility temperature, or load conditions.
