Verify DC connections (+,–) are correct and secure
Verify DC protective cover is installed
Connect shore/station power
Turn on main AC breaker
Turn on charger AC breaker
Verify LED’s indicators are correct (see Setup and Operation section)
Please fully read the set up and operation section of this manual to begin using your installed and configured
ProNauticP Series charger.
Verify shore power/station is connected and main AC breaker is in the ON position.
Apply power to your ProNauticP Series charger by switching on branch circuit power. The charger
will immediately come on with all LEDs lit while it performs a system check. Once complete the LED
display will indicate the default BC (Battery Charger) operation as it enters the charging mode, DC
voltage will increase.
LED indicators on the charger are as follows:

Once the batteries have reached programmed voltage, the ProNauticP will automatically switch
to conditioning mode, then to Auto Maintain 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.

NOTE: Factory Default charging profile is Sealed 2 (13.6 VDC Conditioning, 13.2-13.6 VDC Auto Maintain)
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
