PERCENT OF CHARGE

The percent of charge scale is intended 

as a visual aid to help simplify reading the 

state of charge. The percent of charge is 

based on the current drawn by the battery. 

For this reason, accuracy will vary with 

the size and battery type. This means that 

the indication for a fully charged large 

battery may be slightly less than 100%.

TOGGLE SWITCHES  

(SE-2352 and SE-3612 only)

Model SE-2352 employs 2 toggle 

switches:

• Switch #1 – 

Use this switch to select the

200 Amp Engine Start and the 35 Amp

Charge Rate. Switch #2 must be in the

down position (Select Position) when

using Switch #1.

• Switch #2 – 

Use this switch to select the

2 amp Charge Rate and the OFF position.

Also use to select use of Switch #1. Note

that Switch #1 is only effective when

Switch #2 is set to “Select Position.”

Model SE-3612 employs 3 toggle

switches:

• Switch #1 (Furthest left) –

 Use this

switch to select the 12 volt 200 amp

engine start (down) or the 12 volt 40 amp

charge (up) position. The center switch

(#2) must be in the (up) position when

switch #1 is used.

• Switch #2 (Center) –

 Use this switch to

select use of either switch #1 or switch #3.

Down for switch #3 and up for switch #1.

• Switch #3 (Right) –

 Use this switch to

select the 12 volt 2 amp charge (up) or

the 6 volt 100 amp engine start (down).

The center switch (#2) must be in the

down position to use switch #3.

BATTERY LOAD TESTER SWITCH

(SE-8050 only)

When testing a battery, use this switch to

apply a load to it.

BATTERY TESTER SWITCH

(SE-4022 only)

Use this switch to select either the 6 volt

or 12 volt battery tester setting.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

Use to set the scale of the voltmeter to

either 6V or 12V DC, to match the battery

or batteries being charged.

NOTE:

 This does not change the output

voltage of the charger.

VOLTMETER

The voltmeter indicates the voltage at

the battery clamps. The charger need

not be plugged into an AC outlet. The

timer should be in the OFF position.

Then connect the charger, following the

instructions provided.
