Once the batteries have reached programmed voltage, the ProNauticP will automatically
switch to conditioning mode, then to ready mode once programmed voltage/time is met,
these states will be indicated by the LED’s on the charger or the optional remote.
The Remote (if equipped) will display real-time voltage/amperage and state-of-charge information,
detailed programming and display information can be found in the operation section.
The ProNauticP requires no further attention. Once properly installed and programmed
the ProNauticP is designed for years of trouble free use with minimal attention. For periodic
checks, see the maintenance section.
Note: In the event you change the battery chemistry please refer to the setup and operation
section of this manual to reconfigure your charger.
Setup
***Factory Default charging profile is Sealed 2 (14.6VDC Conditioning, 13.4 VDC Float)
BATTERY TYPES - A word on battery types and the ProMariner ProNauticP. As noted in the
Battery Selection Table in the FEATURES section of this manual, this unit can handle 7 different
types of commonly available batteries. Batteries are a consumable component and will, at
some point, require replacement. Different batteries are charged with dramatically different
charging profiles. A change in battery type upon replacement will require resetting of the
battery type on the ProNauticP Charger. Identifying the battery type (available on the battery
or by contacting the battery manufacturer) and setting the ProNauticP Charger accordingly
is a crucial step in ensuring your batteries longevity. ProMariner has pre-programmed the
available settings for optimum care of whatever type of battery you find suits your application.
DO NOT GUESS! If you are unsure of your battery type, contact the manufacturer of the
battery. Damage caused by an incorrect setting is not covered under warranty.
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION – GLOBAL AC INPUT
Designed to work with an automatic wide range AC input voltage of 100 to 250 VAC and 50-
60 Hz allowing all models to operate off of a standard household power connection.
CHARGING RATES – The ProNauticP Charger provides multi stage charging (Charging,
Conditioning and Ready) as indicated in the features section.

Setup and Operation
FLOAT MODE OPERATION - When charger is in Float Mode for more then 72 hours and
providing less then 5 amps output the unit will go into standby. If amperage is increased
above 6 amps for more then 2 minutes charger will come out of standby. When charger is
in Float Mode or Standby Mode for 21 days, charger will initiate battery Health Mode and
fully recharge batteries ensuring they are ready to go.
RECONDITON/EQUALIZATION – This feature is only recommended for traditional capped and
vented lead acid type batteries, and will only operate when those types of batteries are
selected, and the user initiates the feature. This process uses high voltage over a short period
of time to remove sulphates from the batteries plates. The process “equalizes” the flooded
cells and mixes the electrolyte, significantly extending your battery life. Please ensure before
you begin this process that the batteries are topped off with distilled water. This function is
recommended no more than 4 times per year.
Note: It is recommended to disconnect all 12VDC electronics and monitor the batteries
while equalizing as this increases battery gassing and increase the temperature of the battery.
POWER LEVEL ADJUSTMENT – Adjusting the level of available power used by the charger
allows other equipment on board to continue to run when you encounter a low power situation
such as a 50 amp panel connected to a 30 amp shore/station power connection.
! STOP
BEFORE USING YOUR PRONAUTICP CHARGER READ AND FOLLOW THE BELOW CHECKLIST:
NOTE: Install by referring to the Installation section of this manual OR, as recommended by
ProMariner, have your ProNauticP Charger installed by a certified ABYC electrical technician
Begin with the ProNauticP Charger circuit breaker and main shore/station power breaker in
the OFF position.
Ensure that all over current protection (e.g. fuses and/or circuit breakers) are ready for use,
not blown or tripped.
Verify all connections are tight, corrosion free and of good integrity.
With AC power applied (ProNauticP Charger breaker and shore/station power main ON),
observe the following on the Status Indicator Center:
