2. Alarm - Reverse Polarity. Battery is connected in reverse polarity (only shows when
mains power is connected).
3.
Alarm - Open Circuit. Battery is not connected or is faulty (only shows when mains
power is connected).
4.
Alarm - Low Battery. Battery voltage is low (less than 10.5V). The ArkPak screen will
switch off after 5 minutes however the discharge process will continue if you leave a device connected.
The ArkPak cannot disconnect your device.
5.
Alarm - Check battery. Battery won’t reach 12.8V within 25 hours. Battery may have a
problem (eg may be heavily sulphated or have a faulty cell). This alarm may be triggered if the battery
is being used to power a device and is being charged at the same time, in which case the battery is OK.

I nstalling the ArkPak as part of a Dual Battery System using the Anderson style plug
The ArkPak can be used in a dual battery set-up. The best method to do this is to connect the ArkPak
to a dual battery wiring loom (not supplied) using either the positive/negative external terminals or
the Anderson style plug. Using these methods the smart charge system is bypassed so the ArkPak
cannot control the charging voltage. A voltage sensitive relay/solenoid must be used to ensure priority
is given to charging the vehicle’s main starting battery. The main isolator switch on the ArkPak must
be switched on. The main data screen will show “external cycle” after a few minutes of charging in this
case. See FAQs for more information.
Mounting the ArkPak
Ark offer an optional mounting kit for the ArkPak (Part no. APB20B).
Attach the mounting brackets to the surface you wish to mount the ArkPak on. Attach the mounting
tongues in position onto the brackets using the M5 x 8 screws. Attach the two mounting plates to the
underside of the ArkPak using the M6 screws. To fix the ArkPak in position loosen the M5 screws and
slide the two tongues inward so they locate inside the slots on the mounting plates. Fasten the M5
screws to fix the ArkPak in position. Refer to diagram on the back of the mounting kit packaging.

WARNING – Do not charge battery using Anderson style plug and car charging lead (refer
