Trouble Shooting Guide
Battery(s) are not charging, Blue AC Power LED, RED Charging & Battery Type LEDs are On
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery, and that all connections are clean and tight.
Note: Incorrect wiring will result in reverse polarity or high reverse voltage, in the event
this happens, the ProSport Charger has been designed to not fail as a result, however it
will cause the charger to "internally disconnect" and provide "no output" until the (reverse
polarity) caused by putting the "Red" + lead on a - negative battery terminal) and/or the
(high reverse DC voltage caused by taking one bank cable and spreading it across two
batteries) is corrected, using the wiring diagrams as shown on pages 10-18.
With the charger on, read DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings are
less than 13 Volts DC proceed with the following:
A. Disconnect AC power at the 120VAC outlet.
B. Go to pages 10-18 of this manual and confirm your ProSport model charger
is connected correctly as illustrated in the installation drawings.
C. Upon Completing B above; Plug your charger into AC Power and observe the
LED center. Charger should be in the charging Mode (red LED). If after completing
a full charge cycle, 8-14 hours (depending on state of battery discharge) then the
red LED should shut off followed by only a Green READY LED coming on in addition
to the already ON BLUE AC POWER LED.
Note: If a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) is available to you, instead of waiting to complete
a full charge cycle, you can simply use a DVM and take DC voltage measurements
across each 12 volt battery. As long as the voltage continues to increase while the
red charging LED is on, this will serve as a confirmation that the charger is properly
connected and is properly charging.
NO Blue AC Power LED or RED Charging & Battery Type LED
Check for loss of AC power at the 120VAC outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) has not tripped. Check with a meter or 120VAC test light
that AC power is present at the end or your extension cord.
Reset AC power if it was not present.
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery and that all connections are clean and tight.
If AC power is present and all connections are correct and LEDs do not illuminate,
contact ProMariner at 1-800-824-0524 from 8:30 am to 5pm Eastern Time. If
your ProSport is within the warranty period of 2 years from the date of purchase,
you can go to www.promariner.com where you will find our customer care
return form and instructions.

Important Notice: FCC Class A Part 15 Notification.
Your ProSport On-Board Marine Battery Charger has been designed and tested to comply
with FCC Class A part 15. These regulations are to provide adequate protection against
harmful interference while operated in a commercial application. If in a residential setting,
you are encountering interference with TV and radio reception, simply remove AC power
from the ProSport to confirm if your battery charger is causing interference. End user can
explore the following to minimize interference:
1) Chose a different AC circuit to power your On-Board Marine Battery Charger.
2) Make sure your outlet is properly grounded.
3) Re-position receiving antenna.
4) Purchase a separate AC line filter.
5) Relocate charger so that it is at the furthest point from home receiving
equipment,TV, radio, etc.
