5.
Lay the AC/DC cables away from any
fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
6.
Connect the battery cable assembly to
the INC-800A with the quick-connect
connector on the back of the unit.
7.
Connect the battery cable assembly to
the battery as described in section 6.
8.
Plug the INC-800A into a 120V AC wall
outlet.
NOTE
: The INC-800A intermittently
draws more than 15 amps of current. We
recommend that you either install a 20 amp
circuit or do not run anything else on the
same circuit as the INC-800A or you may
trip the breaker supplying the AC power.
9.
Turn the Main Power switch to the ON
position. When the charger powers up,
the LCD screen defaults to and displays
12V FAST on the top line and CONNECT
BATTERY blinking on the bottom line.
The charger also checks for a properly
connected battery. When it finds one, the
display changes to show the voltage of
the battery on the top line and PRESS
ON blinking on the bottom line (referring
to the CHARGE ON/OFF button).
NOTE:
It is normal for the fan to run
continuously. Keep the area near the
charger clear of obstructions, to allow the
fan to operate efficiently.
10.
Press the CHARGE VOLTAGE button to
select the correct battery voltage of either
6V or 12V.
11.
Press the CHARGE MODE button to select
the correct battery type and charge rate:
FAST:
35 minute charge for automotive
and marine batteries. Maximum charge
rate for large batteries that can accept
up to 80 Amps of charging current.
FULL:
Up to 240 minute charge for
automotive and marine batteries.
Maximum charge rate for large
batteries that can accept up to 80
Amps of charging current.
FULL (lawn tractor, motorcycle,
ATV):
Up to 240 minute charge. Lower
charge rate for small batteries.
GEL FAST/FULL:
Up to 240 minute
charge. Charge rate safe for all Gel
Cell batteries.
12.
Press the CHARGE ON/OFF button to
start the charge cycle.
13.
After pressing the button, the display
shows the time remaining (counting
down). If the display shows “CONNECT
BATTERY” when a battery is properly
connected to the charger, the battery’s
voltage is below 0.2V. Charging will not
begin automatically. To start the charger
manually, press and hold the CHARGE
ON/OFF button for 5 seconds, until the
charge cycle starts.
14.
If you are using the FULL (240 minute
charge) mode, the Charge Remaining
timer counts down to 0 minutes, or the
battery becomes fully charged, the charge
cycle will be complete. The CHARGE
COMPLETE (green) LED will light, the
charger will beep four times and the
charger will go into maintain mode. If you
are using the FAST (35 minute charge)
mode, the Charge Remaining timer will
count down to 0 minutes, the CHARGE
COMPLETE (green) LED will light and
the charger will beep four times, but the
battery may not be fully charged. If left
alone, the charger will continue to charge
the battery until it is fully charged, then go
into maintain mode.
15.
Press the CHARGE ON/OFF button.
Disconnect the charger from the AC
power, remove the clamps from the
vehicle’s chassis, and then remove the
clamp from the battery terminal.
CHARGING A BATTERY
OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1.
Place battery in a well-ventilated area.
2.
Clean the battery terminals.
3.
Connect the battery cable assembly to
the INC-800A with the quick-connect
connector on the back of the unit.
4.
Connect the battery cable assembly to
the battery as described in section 7.
5.
Plug the INC-800A into a 120V AC wall
outlet.
6.
Follow steps 9-15 shown in
Charging a
Battery in the Vehicle
.
NOTE:
A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When the Automatic Charge is
performed, the charger switches to the
maintain mode automatically after the
battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging can not be completed
normally, charging will abort. When
charging aborts, the charger’s output is
shut off, and the display shows CHARGE
ABORTED on the top line and BAD
BATTERY on the bottom line. It will also
beep four times to let you know.
NOTE:
In the case of a severely discharged
battery, the charger will go into abort
mode. If, after the output turns off, the
battery voltage drops to under 0.2 volts,
the charger will reset to the default
settings and the display will show 12V
FAST on the top line and CONNECT
BATTERY on the bottom line.
