Attach the Handle
: If the charger came with a plastic grip, slide
that onto the handle until it is centered at the top. Turn the charger
right side up onto its foot and wheels. Align the handle so the screw
holes are aligned with the screw holes on the upper back corners of
the charger. Attach the handle using the four Phillips head screws
provided.
CONTROL PANEL
10.
Note:
Not all controls are available on all models.
Charge Rate Selector Switch
Use the Charge Rate selector switch to select the charge rate or engine starting setting
you require.
1.5A, 2A, 4A Slow Charge Rate
•
– Intended for charging small batteries such as
those commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motorcycles.
10A, 15A, 20A, 30A Fast and 35A, 40A, 44A, 60A, 80A Rapid Charge Rate
•
–
Use for charging automotive, marine and deep-cycle batteries. Not intended for
industrial applications.
100A, 125A, 150A, 200A, 225A, 300A Engine Start
•
– Provides
100, 125, 150, 200,
225 or 300
amps for cranking an engine with a weak or run down battery. Always use
in combination with a battery.
Timer (Not applicable for model SE-2352)
Timer Setting
•
: The timer allows you to set a specified time for charging. After the
timer expires, the charger stops charging your battery. The main function of the
timer is to prevent over charging while allowing a battery time to obtain a satisfactory
charge. To properly set the timer, you must know the size of the battery in ampere
hours or reserve capacity in minutes and the state of charge. It is important that you
determine the appropriate state of charge of your battery as specified in Section 12
and set the timer accordingly.
Hold
•
: This position defeats the timer function, allowing for continuous operation. Be
sure to monitor the charging progress and stop it when the battery is charged. Not
doing so may cause damage to your battery or may cause other personal property
damage or personal injury.
Ammeter
The Ammeter indicates the amount of current, measured in amps, that is being drawn
by the battery. As a battery takes on a charge, it draws less current from the charger.
Correspondingly, the meter will show less current being drawn by the battery. When the
current stops decreasing, the battery is charged. The start area of the meter indicates a
high rate of current being drawn from the charger. When cranking an engine, the meter
needle will be at the extreme right side of the start area. The 2 amp charge rate may
indicate some activity on the meter, although the meter does not have the resolution to
display this low rate.
Percent of Charge
•
The percent of charge scale is intended as a visual aid to help simplify reading the
state of charge. The percent of charge is based on the current drawn by the battery.
For this reason, accuracy will vary with the size and battery type. This means that the
indication for a fully charged large battery may be slightly less than 100%.
Model SE-2352 employs 2 toggle switches:
Switch #1
•
-
Use this switch to select the 200 Amp Engine Start and the 35 Amp
Charge Rate. Switch #2 must be in the down position (Select Position) when using
Switch #1.
Switch #2 - Use this switch to select the 2 amp Charge Rate and the OFF position.
•
Also, use to select use of Switch #1. Note that Switch #1 is only effective when
Switch #2 is set to “Select Position.”
