Attaching the temperature sensor with extension cord:
Your first choice should be to connect it to the Positive (+) or Negative
(-) post (clamp / screw) of the battery. This is the best location to sense
the temperature of the battery.
5. The second choice is to place it as close to the battery as possible.
Attachment of the sensor to the side or top of battery is also
a possible option, under the right circumstances. Be careful to
ensure it will not come loose in service.
6. Plug the unit’s Power cord into a standard – grounded 120 Vac
electrical outlet. The Power On LED Indicator will light
GREEN.
Within 30 seconds, if it does not light
GREEN check the outlet to
be sure it is functioning. In addition, be sure if outlet is controlled
by a switch, no one will accidentally shut off the power to the outlet.
Check for correct polarity = (no ERROR
RED LED Indicator). If
ERROR Indicator is lit, reverse the charger’s output connections
to the battery.
7.
Charger will automatically start within 15 - 30 seconds.
The Charge
– Float LED Indicator will light
GREEN. The charger will now begin
charging by first checking the battery to determine its voltage and
ability to accept a charge. Should the battery not have a normal fully
discharged voltage (21.0V minimum) the unit will begin charging in
the “Soft-Start” mode to determine if the battery can be safely
charged. If it cannot, the Power On – Error LED will flash
RED
and charging will be stopped. Battery should be carefully checked
under a load by a qualified
person before further
attempting to charge it.
Note
: If the battery does
not have a minimum no
load OCV (Open Circuit
Voltage) of 6 volts,
the ERROR LED will
light RED and charger
will reject battery.
No further effort should be made to charge this battery with this
charger or any charger. Discard this battery, unless it has just
been subjected to a long period of continuous discharge under
