TI45014D Battery Charger/Conditioner
16
Section 5- Operating Procedures
5.1 – Before Operation
The TI45014D Battery Charger/Conditioner is engineered to provide continuous output power. The charger
can be left connected to a battery until it is ready for use, because of the intelligent recharging system that
prevents the TI45014D from overcharging the battery. Prior to connecting the TI45014D to an ac power
source, be sure that the charger is at least 20 feet away from any fuel source to avoid a potential explosion
due to sparking.
5.2 – Connecting the Battery Charger
When you are ready to charge the battery in question, simply follow procedures below. The LED will show
the battery’s state of charge, and the cooling fan will start running after approximately one second. Let the
battery fully recharge. The amount of time needed to charge the battery can be determined by dividing the
amp hour rating of the battery by the output of the charger. For example, a 24 V battery with a 45 Ah rating
using 24 Vdc TI45014D Battery Charger will take approximately 1 hour to charge. The TI45014D can be
left connected to the battery past the charge time due to the intelligent recharge system and will continue
to maintain and condition the battery while connected.
1.
If the TI45014D Battery Charger is already connected to the battery and hard mounted to the
vehicle:
Plug the AC Line Cord into the appropriate ac source.
A.
Check to see that the LED shows that status of the charge.
B.
Check to see that the fan is running when the Battery Status LED is below 100%.
C.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these steps in order can cause arcing
and or sparks.
2.
If the TI45014D Battery Charger is not connected to the battery:
Disconnect the DC Output Cable Assembly.
A.
Attach the Alligator Clamps to the Battery. Positive connector first, then negative.
B.
Plug in the AC Line Cord to the TI45014D (if disconnected).
C.
Plug in the AC Line Cord to the appropriate AC source.
D.
Connect the DC Output Cable Assembly.
E.
Check to see that the LED shows that status of the charge.
F.
Make sure that the unit is at least 20 feet (6 meters)
away from the nearest fueling source before connecting
ac power.
