Integrated Battery Flash Wiring Diagram

XC15 Models Only

The diagram below shows how to wire the integrated battery flash circuit on XC15.
This diagram is only for the battery connection to the XC15 to enable Battery Flashing.

Power and Control wiring diagrams are shown on Pages 8-12

The XC15 contains a solid-state buildup circuit for traditional residual-

voltage buildup from 3.5VAC at terminals AC1 and AC2.

Connecting the battery flash is not required if sufficient residual

voltage is present, the regulator will build itself up!

NOTE:

Connect to 12 or 24

terminal based on

12V or 24V battery

voltage

NOTE:

Pushbutton,

Momentary Toggle

Switch, Relay

Contact, or Oil

Pressure Switch.

Do Not Omit

Switch!
