Before making any connections, prepare batteries as follows:
(a)
With caps securely in place, thoroughly clean the case and posts with a solution of
baking soda and water. Be careful not to allow any soda to get inside the case.
(b)
All posts, terminal and connections should be cleaned to a shiny bright finish, using
a wire brush or sand paper. This should be done periodically to assure maximum
conductivity.
Charge Cables #1 and #2
Each charge cable assembly is equipped with a temperature sensor located at the junction
of each set of ring terminals. Attempts to lengthen or shorten the cables could partially dis-
able the charger. Therefore, we recommend that you do not make any adjustments without
first consulting the factory.
Route your cables from the charger to your batteries, being cautious to avoid sharp
objects and use the supplied wire ties to hold them neatly in place. Securely connect the
red (+) charger ring terminals to the positive battery posts and the black (-) charger ring
terminals to the negative posts. If the unit is equipped with a standard AC plug on the
power cord, a plug receptacle is also provided to hold the power cord plug when it is not
being used. Locate a convenient site for the receptacle and attach it using the four
smaller stainless steel screws.
Cranking Battery Cable
The cable assembly designated for the engine starting battery is unique in that in addition
to the Red (+) and Black (-) wires, there is a purple wire which must be attached to a 12
volt source that is switched on and off by the engine ignition key switch. Use the supplied
quick connector to attach the purple wire to any key activated 12 volt source. It is important
to note that the "charge on the run" circuitry will not operate unless the purple wire is connected
to a 12 volt source.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM: No LED indicators illuminate in any of the charger banks.
Solution Sequence:
Check the AC power supply from its source through all connecting points up to the charger
by using a meter or test light to confirm that current is being delivered to the charger.
PROBLEM: One red LED flashing.
