Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO THE SAME 12VDC battery.
When connecting each jacketed battery charger cable, make sure it is connected
to only
one 12 VDC battery
and observe the polarity and color of all connections:
Red Wire = + (Positive) Battery connection
Black Wire = - (Negative) Battery connection
The black wire can never be connected to a terminal with red wires. Only black.

The ProTournament
elite is designed to charge, condition, and auto maintain your batteries during
short or long term periods of storage or non use. Please follow these steps each time you use your
ProTournament
elite Battery Charger:
1. Read manual and all warnings.
2. Review "Preparing to Charge a Battery” on page 6.
3. Ensure charger is installed as per the installation instructions.
4. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ProTournament
elite Battery Charger first.
After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby
GFCI protected outlet. Anytime power is applied to the ProTournament
elite the blue LED will illuminate.
5. The “Analyze” LED will pulse blue indicating the charger is in Analyze mode. While the charger
is analyzing your batteries, check that you have the correct battery profile selected.
This mode
takes approximately 1 minute for the ProTournament
elite to do a self test, check all
wiring connections, and make sure the batteries are greater than 2.5 Volts DC and are
able to take a charge.
Assuming there are no battery faults, the green “System Check OK” LED will illuminate
and the following charger operation sequences will proceed:
Note: If there is a bad connection, reverse polarity, or a battery that is below 2.5 VDC that can not accept
a charge, then a RED Battery Trouble status LED will illuminate for the battery that requires attention.
See page 32 for further troubleshooting details.
6. The “Charging” LED will be solid red indicating the charger has entered the Charging stage as
outlined in the Multi-Stage Charging Overview section of this manual.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE.
Avoid contact during charging operation as unit will be hot to the
touch but operating safely and properly.
7. The “Conditioning” LED will be solid amber indicating that the ProTournament
elite will hold all
batteries at the selected absorption voltage to complete charging by conditioning each battery for
up to 3 hours as needed.
8. When the charge process is complete (or if your batteries are fully charged when you apply AC
power) the “Auto Maintain” LED will be solid green indicating your batteries are fully charged and
the charger is in auto maintain mode.
