7) USA 120 Volt or European 230 Volt AC Connections: (For USA 240V AC please refer to step
#8). A terminal strip is provided on the charger for AC power input. Connect Black (Europe-
Brown) to the terminal marked Line. Connect White (Europe-Blue) to the terminal marked Neutral.
Connect Green (Europe-Green/Yellow) to the terminal marked (Ground/ Earth). Install an
appropriate circuit breaker dedicated to the charger at the boat’s electrical panel. Please refer
to the table at the bottom of the page for minimum protective AC fuse or circuit breaker sizes.
8) USA 240 Volt AC Connections: (If using 120 volt AC or European 230 volt AC please refer
to step #7 and ignore this step). A terminal strip is provided on the charger for AC power
input. Connect Black to the terminal marked Line. Connect Red to terminal marked Neutral.
Connect Green to the terminal marked (Ground/ Earth). Install an appropriate circuit breaker
dedicated to the charger at the boat’s electrical panel. Please refer to the table at the
bottom of the page for minimum protective AC fuse or circuit breaker sizes.
Shown Above: AC terminal block. Please note the connections and wire appropriately. The
circuit board is also labeled to indicate proper connections.
Please note: All AC wire connections and installations must be made in compliance with ABYC E-11
Minimum AC Wire Size examples with Marine grade wire rated at 105˚ C for 10 feet in length:
14 AWG = up to 15 amps , 12 AWG = up to 20 Amps
(See ABYC E-11 for exact wire sizes for length of run, ampacity, temperature, location and number
of wires in bundles.)

Setup and Operation
1) Install your ProMariner battery charger by referring to page 8 of this manual.
2) After installation is complete including AC and DC connections please ensure proper
fusing and strain relief have been properly installed..
3)
After proper installation, apply AC power and observe the following. Example for Factory
Flooded (Lead-acid) setting
a. Battery Type LED will turn on as controlled by the battery type selector switch. (Shown on Page 6)
b. Fast Charge LED will illuminate until battery voltage reaches approximately 14.2 Volts DC,
at which time the Fast Charge LED will turn off. The Absorption LED will then illuminate.
c. Absorption LED will continue to be on for 1-4 hours as determined by the user programmable
Absorption timer switch.
d. After 1-4 hours the Absorption LED will turn off and the Float light will illuminate indicating
the battery charger is in Float mode.
e. In Float mode the batteries are fully charged and will be maintained at the selected
finishing/maintenance voltage for the battery type selected. In Float mode your ProTech-i
Series Charger will supply DC power for house loads of any type up to the maximum rated
amperage output of the charger.
Shown Above - Programmable Absorption and Battery Type Selector Switches. Please refer
to page 6 for settings and selections.
After the Fast Charge cycle, Absorption time is determined by the user programmable
absorption timer switch shown in the figure above.
Full-rated battery charger amperage is available while in Float Mode.
Note: The charger is equipped with an internal temperature sensor that will shut down the
charger in the event of thermal overload.
Note: Your ProTech-i charger is equipped with a fan, which is temperature controlled and
will only run when cooling is necessary.
Your ProMariner Marine Battery Charger is self current limiting with built in: over temperature,
overvoltage, reverse polarity and ignition protection for boating safety and peace of mind.
If at any time you have trouble configuring your ProTech-i Series Charger or need technical
information please call ProMariner at 1-800-824-0524 8:30 am to 5 pm Eastern Time, or email
us at [email protected].

AC Connections
5) AC power should not be present until step 10 is completed. After connecting the AC and DC cables
to the charger use cable support on the cables within 6” of the charger for both the AC and DC cables.
6) Be cautious when connecting battery cables to the charger and check to make sure AC
power is off. Be careful when placing battery cables near one another to avoid possible shorting
or arcing (sparking) that can occur when positive and negative wires touch.
