APPLICATION
Model 900R is ideally suited for lead acid battery-powered
vehicles that require a display of state-of-charge only. The H
reset profile is recommended for industrial/recreational vehicles
that remain connected to their batteries during the charge cycle.
The B reset profile is recommended for electric fork lift trucks
and electric vehicles that can be disconnected from or remain
connected to their batteries during the charge cycle. Units so
configured have an undefeatable memory that holds the state of
charge of the battery when disconnected.

* HVR: High Voltage Reset – Battery is connected to gauge while recharging. The gauge resets to Full when the battery is above the
HVR level for 6 minutes. With B or H, HVR = 2.35v/c.
**OCR: Open Circuit Reset – 2.09 v/c – Only available on units with Memory – Battery is disconnected from gauge while recharging.
The gauge will reset to Full if the reconnected battery is above the OCR level. The gauge will display its stored state-of-charge if
the battery is below this level. With B,, OCR = 2.09 v/c.
