TYPE 24LC25-8ET
PLEASE SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For correct operation of the equipment, it is important to read and be familiar
with this entire manual before installing and operating the charger.
DO NOT DISCARD THIS MANUAL AFTER READING.
LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL TO POINT OUT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IT MEANS:
BECOME ALERT—YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
INTRODUCTION
The Lestronic II battery charger is designed to
recharge deep-cycle, lead-acid batteries. A
ferroresonant transformer is used to provide a highly
reliable, line compensating unit with a minimum of
moving parts, designed for long, trouble-free service.
A patented electronic controller turns the charger on
and off automatically. This controller determines full
charge of the batteries by measuring the rate at which
the battery voltage increases during charge. When
the voltage stops rising, the battery is fully charged
and the charger turns off.
INITIAL INSTALLATION
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected
must be capable of supplying 10 amperes of AC
power.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
USE THIS CHARGER ONLY ON CIRCUITS
PROVIDED WITH BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
(CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE) OF A MAXIMUM
OF 20 AMPERES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70,
AND ALL LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
The use of an extension cord with the charger should
be avoided. The use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of a fire or electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor,
No. 12 AWG cord with ground, properly wired, in good
electrical condition and keep it as short as possible.
Make sure that the pins on the plug of the extension
cord are the same number, size, and shape as that of
the plug on the battery charger. Locate all cords so
that they will not be stepped on tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not operate this charger with a damaged cord or
plug. Do not operate this charger if it has received a
sharp blow, was dropped or otherwise damaged in
any manner; refer to a qualified service agent.
Provide adequate ventilation for the batteries and
charger. The convection-cooled design requires an
unobstructed flow of cooling air for proper operation.
Keep all charger ventilation openings at least two
inches (2") (5cm) away from walls and other objects.
Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other material to
cover the charger.
WARNING: CHARGERS CAN IGNITE
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND VAPORS. DO
NOT USE NEAR FUELS, GRAIN DUST,
SOLVENTS, THINNERS OR OTHER
FLAMMABLES.
WARNING: KEEP DRY; DO NOT EXPOSE TO
RAIN. FOR STORAGE, KEEP CHARGER IN A
BUILDING. REPLACE WORN, CUT, OR DAMAGED
POWER CORDS OR WIRES IMMEDIATELY.
