ELECTRICALPARTS:

AC power cord: 6 feet SPT-2 with UL plug

Output lead: 6 feet SPT-1 2X18AWG with insulated battery clamps.

ENVIRONMENTALCHARACTERISTICS:

Operating temperature range: 32 to 104° F

Storage temperature range: 10 to 170°F

Operating humidity range: 90% RH Max

ECO MODE:

If AC power is connected, and the battery is not connected, the charger

will automatically go into ECO mode. Input power draw in ECO mode is

less than 1.5W (0.04kWh per day).

Power consumption in maintenance mode is 0.05kWh per day

.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1 - Pre Charge:

Battery & Electrolyte Level Check

Check the battery electrolyte level (Only for Flooded or WET

battery).

If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the

levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines.

STEP 2 - Connect Charger to Battery

If the battery is

out of the vehicle

:

Connect the Red lead from the charger to the positive (+) battery

terminal.

Connect the Black lead from the charger to the negative (-) battery

terminal.

If battery is still

in the vehicle

, determine if the vehicle is positively

or negatively earthed.

If Negatively earthed (Most Common) – First connect the Red (+)

battery charger lead to the Positive (+) battery post and then connect

the Black (-) battery charger lead to the vehicle’s chassis and away

from the fuel line.

If Positively earthed – First connect the Black (-) battery charger

lead to the Negative (-) battery post and then connect the Red (+)

battery charger lead to the Vehicle’s chassis and far away from the fuel

line.

STEP 3 – Connect Charger to Power (115Vac / 230Vac)

Connect the battery charger to AC mains powered socket.

The Charger will automatically start when AC power is connected

and switched on.

(Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your

connections as it’s likely that the Positive and Negative leads are

reversed. Refer to Trouble Shooting page for further information)
