OPERATION
When the charger is switched on, the red LED lights up indicating that output voltage is
available. When the batteries are being charged or when the charger is supplying other DC load,
the current fed by the charger will be indicated by the ammeter.
When the batteries are discharged, they will draw charging current proportional to their
discharged condition (up to a maximum current rating of the charger) and this current draw
will be shown by the ammeter. When the batteries are fully charged, they will draw very low
current (may not be registered by the ammeter) to compensate for their self discharge.
Charging a Battery Installed in aVehicle
Follow these steps when the battery is installed in a vehicle. A spark near a battery may cause
battery explosion. For safety and to reduce the risk of spark near the battery:
1 Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine parts
2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury to persons
3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. A positive (Pos,P,+) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than a Negative (Neg,N, -) post
4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (Connected) to the chassis (Engine Block).
If the negative post is grounded to the Engine Block (Asin mostvehicles ), see sub paragraph 5.
If the positive post is grounded, see sub paragraph 6
5 For a negative grounded vehicle, connect the positive (red) DC cable from the charger
to the positive of the battery post. Connect the negative (black) DC cable from the charger
to a section of heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block which is away from
battery. Do not connect to carburetor, fuel lines or sheet metal body parts.
6 For a positive grounded vehicle, connect the negative (black) DC cable from the charger to
the negative of the battery post. Connect the positive (red) DC cable from the charger
to a section of heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block which is away from battery.
Do not connect to carburetor, fuel lines or sheet metal body parts.
7 Connect the charger AC power cord to the AC outlet
8 When dis connecting the charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC powercord, remove
connection from the vehicle chassis and then remove connection from the battery terminal
Charging a Battery out side theVehicle
Follow these steps when the battery is out side the vehicle. A spark near the battery may cause
battery explosion. For safety and to reduce risk of spark near the battery, connect the charger
as follows:
1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. A positive (Pos,P,+)battery post usually has a
larger diameter than a Negative (Neg,N, -) post
2 Attach a piece of at least 10 cm, 16 Mmq insulated battery cable to the negative batterypost
3 Connect the positive (red) DC cable from the charger to the positive battery post
4 Position yourself and the free end of the piece of cable attached to the negative post as far
away from the battery as possible and then connect the negative (black) DC cable from the
charger tothe free end of the piece of cable attached tothe negative battery post
5 Do not face the battery when making the final connection
6 Connect the charger AC power cord to the AC outlet
7 When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break the first connection while standing as far away from the battery as practical
