NOTE: The length of time the charger remains in the
Yellow charging mode depends on the size and
"State of Charge" of the battery. This function is
controlled by the solid State Circuitry of the charger
which provides the correct charge profile
automatically. This charger can be left connected to
the battery for extended periods of time safely.
SPECIAL NOTE: BATTERIES THAT HAVE A
SUSPECT CONDITION, PARTICULARLY
"SULFATED CELLS", MAY WHEN FIRST
CONNECTED, GO DIRECTLY TO THE "FLASHING
YELLOW" L.E.D. INDICATION. THEN AFTER
CURRENT FLOW BEGINS, THE YELLOW
CHARGE
L.E.D. STAYS ON INDICATING THAT A
NORMAL CHARGE CYCLE IS NOW OPERATING.
THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL
OPERATION.
YELLOW
CHARGE
LIGHT DOES NOT SWITCH
ON; The charger will not commence charging unless
properly connected.
1. Check to ensure the charger is connected
correctly - BLACK lead to NEGATIVE (-) terminal
and RED lead to POSITIVE (+) terminal or that the
Factory installed OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) custom connector is properly installed
regarding the Polarity at the connectors contact
terminals or at the mating connector on the battery or
equipment.
2. Check that the clips made a good connection to
the battery posts. Twist clips or clean battery posts
to ensure good connection.
GREEN
READY
LIGHT DOES NOT APPEAR
AFTER 18 HOURS;
3. The Microprocessor Control can indicate a
problem with the battery. If the battery has not
reached the First Stage of the Operation within 18
hours, the charger may determine that a problem
exists within the battery or the battery is too big for
the charger’s output rating. The OVERRIDE TIMER
FUNCTION is shown by the GREEN LED FLASHING".
If the battery is sized correctly per the graph on the
back of the "NOW YOU'LL KNOW" Sales Brochure
then the battery should be examined for defects.
1. Two 6 volt batteries may be charged with a
12 volt charger if they are connected in SERIES as
shown below:
CAUTION; NEVER UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A
SINGLE 6 VOLT BATTERY WITH THIS CHARGER.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
THE BATTERY AND CREATE A RISK OF
EXPLOSION. EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO CONNECT THE BATTERIES ONLY AS
SHOWN ABOVE. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN
RESULT IN EXPLOSION AND SERIOUS INJURY.
2. Two or more 12 volt batteries may be bank
charged with the 12 volt charger if they are
connected in parallel as shown below.
NOTE: It is important that the batteries in the circuit
be of the same type (e.g. maintenance free only or
conventional lead acid only). Mixing different types
of batteries in the same circuit will result in improper
charging.
