WIRING AND SWITCH SETTINGS
I. BATTERY CHARGER WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Refer to Installation Wiring Diagram I & II.
2.
Refer to Wiring Specifications to determine the recommended wire size and maximum lengths.
Using a smaller gauge may cause overheating of the terminal. Additional information is available
upon request if longer, larger wiring is required.
3.
Torque DC output connector. Refer to Specifications.
4. Set the front panel switches for the appropriate battery type, charge method, safety timer value,
battery saver mode and parasitic load requirement. Refer to Sections III, IV, V and VI.
5.
Double check all wiring and switch settings before applying AC power to input terminal.
6. Apply AC power (shoreline power) to input terminal and observe that the charger is operating.
7. Verify that the battery voltage appears at the charger output terminals.

III. BATTERY TYPE SELECTION SWITCHES
Switches 1 and 2 should be set to match the battery chemistry.
Lead-Acid - Both switches down (off) - factory default setting
Gelled Electrolyte (Gel Cell) - Switch 1 down (off) and Switch 2 up (on)
AGM - Switch 1 up (on) and Switch 2 down (off)
Odyssey® - Both switches up (on)
IV. FLOAT / 3-STEP CHARGE MODE SELECTION SWITCHES
Switches 3 and 4 should be set for the desired charging method and 3-step safety timer period. The
safety timer period begins when AC power is applied to the charger. The absorption phase of 3-step
charging terminates when the safety timer expires, or when the PLC threshold setting is reached. If no
PLC settings are set, the threshold is 0.5A. The charger then switches to, and remains in, float mode
while AC power is applied.
Float Charge Only - Both switches down (off) - factory default setting
3-Step with 1 Hour Safety Timer - Switch 3 down (off) and Switch 4 up (on)
3-Step with 5 Hour Safety Timer - Switch 3 up (on) and Switch 4 down (off)
3-Step with 10 Hour Safety Timer - Both switches up (on)
