Initial Percent Calculation:
When a battery % is calculated for the first time after
connecting a battery, the digital display will show dashes (“- - -“ or “- -“ depending on the
model) for a period as long as several seconds while the tester analyzes the battery.
General Charging Notes
Relay
(All Models except OMAX-25A-1B)
The charger is equipped with a relay that turns the charge current on and off to the battery.
It is normal to occasionally hear a clicking sound when the relay is turned on or off.
Fan
(Model OMAX-25A-1B)
It is normal for the fan to be on while the charger is charging (as long as the voltage
is above 9V). The fan is normally off at other times but may cycle on and off due to
temperature or other conditions (see Over-temperature Protection). Keep the area near
the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate efficiently.
Over-temperature Protection
(All Models except OMAX-6A-1B and OMAX-12A-1B)
The charger is equipped with an internal thermocouple that monitors the temperature.
If the temperature rises above a preset level the charge current will be reduced to allow
the charger to cool. If the temperature cannot be reduced at the lower charge rate the
charge current will be turned off until the temperature is down to a normal level. The
charger will then continue where it left off. For best results do not place the charger in
direct sunlight or enclosed spaces with high temperatures.
13. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
13.1
After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery
charger (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
13.2
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery clips,
cords, and the charger case.
13.3
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition,
for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
13.4
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
13.5
All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
14. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
14.1
Store the charger unplugged, in an upright position. The cord will still conduct electricity
until it is unplugged from the outlet.
14.2
Store inside, in a cool, dry place (unless you’re using an on-board Marine Charger).
14.3
Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped
to cables.
14.4
If the charger is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to
avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or property damage.
