Operation
Turn the switch on the front panel of the unit on to energize the outputs. The green ‘Power
On’ indicator light will glow to indicate the proper operation of the unit. The Digital Meter
will show the voltage and current on either output 1 or output 2. Flip the toggle switch to
view the voltage and current on the other output. If the battery is connected in parallel, then
you will have to add the currents on each output to see the total charging current.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Two Positive output terminals and two Negative output terminals are provided. Connect only
one wire to each terminal. Ensure that the total average load connected does not exceed the
continuous current rating of the unit.
To ensure spark free connections the power switch must be in the OFF position prior to making
the connections to the battery bank(s).
The charger may be hooked to 1 or 2 battery banks. Hook up the battery bank(s) as shown
below. If you are hooking up 2 battery banks keep in mind that they MUST share a common
ground! If you are going to hook up one battery bank to the charger, you may hook up the
outputs in parallel to reduce stress on the output isolation diodes inside the charger.

BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Up to 2 battery temperature sensors can be connected to the charger to allow temperature
compensation of the battery charging voltage (1 is supplied with the unit). If only the 1
sensor is used, it MUST be plugged into the ‘BATTERY 1’ connection on the rear of the unit.
If no sensor is used, the charger will default to standard output voltage.
The battery temperature sensor(s) must be physically attached to the battery bank(s) so that
it(they) can sense the temperature of the battery bank(s).
