BATTERY EQUALIZER OWNER’S MANUAL

Installation Instructions
When connecting wires or cables to the available post (+24, GND, +12) when installing Vanner Equalizer
Models 60-60, 60-80, 60-100, do not exceed the specified torque of 120 in-lbs. This information is printed
on the Product Label just above the connection post. Torque values higher than specified may damage
the product, reducing performance or creating hazardous conditions. Products damaged by improper
torque may not be covered by warranty.
Do not connect more than one conductor per available post on any model of Vanner Equalizer. Multiple
wires and cables may overstress internal components, resulting in poor performance or creating
hazardous conditions. Products damaged by the installation of multiple conductors per post may not be
covered by warranty.
Fault protection devices must be installed between the Equalizer and the power source (battery). A fault
protection device would be any fuse or circuit breaker properly rated for the maximum DC current
obtainable. This advisory is in accordance with SAE, NEC and UL, for mobile power applications. Install
per applicable codes or within 18” of the battery. See Wire and Fuse Sizing Chart on page 9 of this
manual or contact Vanner at 1-800-227-6937 or [email protected] if assistance is needed in sizing
fault protection devices.
Caution:
This equipment employs components that tend to produce arcs and sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials. Safety goggles
should always be worn when working near batteries
Mounting Location
–The Equalizer may be mounted in any orientation, however, the recommended
orientation for optimum heat dissipation is vertical. It is recommended that the wiring terminals be down to
prevent the possibility of a falling metal object shorting the terminals. Do not mount in zero-clearance
compartment that may result in the Equalizer overheating. Locate so that contact by people is unlikely.
Environmental Protection
– Do not expose to rain or moisture. The unit should be located in an area
that will protect it from direct exposure to moisture such as high pressure washing, rain, etc.
Wiring
Sequence
– To prevent reverse polarity damage on Family 1 and Family 2 models when
connecting/disconnecting battery terminals: ALWAYS 1) Remove Equalizer ground terminal first, and 2)
Replace Equalizer ground terminal last. The wiring sequence is not an issue with Family 3 or 4 models.

The EM-70 Battery Monitor provides the following ground signals: Battery HI when +24 rises above
30.3V, Battery LO when +24 falls below 23.7V, Battery BALANCE when +12 is not within 6% of (+24 ÷ 2).
Each ground signal is rated 0.375 amps and should be protected by a 1 amp fuse.
