INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the installation and wiring for the Auto-
Charge 12DV Automatic Battery Charger. It is suggested that
the installer read the entire instruction manual to become
familiar with the tasks involved before operating the charger.
INSTALLATION
The installation of the vehicle wiring must provide a direct
connection between the battery [+,-] terminals and the Auto-
Charge 12DV, Model: 091-165-12-DV, Automatic Battery
Charger.
The battery is automatically charged at constant voltage. For
deeply discharged batteries or if the charger is operated while
the vehicle is started, a current limiter automatically limits the
output to 12 amperes. Input power may be either 115 VAC
or 230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. A recessed input voltage selector
switch is provided on the charger front panel near the input
terminal strip.
The Auto-Charge 12DV uses remote sensing via the charging
wires to the battery under charge and therefore only the
battery charging wires are necessary to connect to the battery
to the charger. These connections are made on the “OUTPUT”
terminal strip.
Refer to FIGURE 1, Installation Wiring Diagram.
The Auto-Charge 12DV Automatic Battery Charger should
be installed in an area with adequate ventilation. A switch on
the front panel of the charger selects either “115V” or “230V”
VAC. Set this switch to the proper position to correspond to
the input voltage before applying power to the charger.
1. 1. Mount the charger using the four holes provided. Refer
to “OUTLINE DRAWING, FIGURE 2.
2. Connect the wiring from the batteries to the Output
Terminal Strip. Spade lugs that have been securely crimped
or soldered should be used.
3. Connect the wiring to the batteries. Ring lugs that have
been securely crimped or soldered should be used.
4. Double check all wiring before proceeding.
5. Wire the VAC input power line to the power source and
check the position of the Voltage Selector Switch.
6. The pilot light will light to show that the charger has
power.
7. The ammeter will indicate how much current is flowing
to the battery. A charging current limit of 12 amperes is
factory set.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT APPLY 230 VOLTS TO THE CHARGER WITH
115/230VAC SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE 115 VOLT POSITION
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT
