Optional Remote Control panel for the heart inverter/charger

[jack boats]

I have manuals for my Freedom Marine series combi inverter charger, but they don't include info on how the remote control panel operates. Specifically I want to set the battery type to AGM, but i don't know the procedure from the remote control. I have tried to change this on the unit itself using the instructions from the manual but it doesn't work as described. Any ideas or pointers to online an online manual would be great.

Thanks,
J

I found a manual for the remote online here:

http://www.xantrex.com/web/id/895/DocServe.aspx

mine says heart interface on it not xantrex but it looks like the same thing. I was able to change the battery type to the proper AGM setting. It looks like I have 2 4dL lifeline Deepcycle bats. So hopefully the previous owner who had it set on the wet setting didn't cause too much damage. The amp hour setting was correct at 400 at least I think thats correct for 2 4dls with 210 amphours each... Not sure if the starter bat is hooked into the charger here or if its isolated and only receiving charge from the solar trickle. Its an interstate marine/rv deep cycel SRM 27 with 750 CCAs

Will the AGM setting for the charger on the house bats cause an issue with charging the starter bat if its a different type and wired into the charger? how do I know what "type" the starter bat is when it says nothing but deep cycle... is it AGM, wet, gel 1, gel 2 ?
