CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
NEVER JUMP START these units. Doing so will destroy
the engine control module, rendering the unit non-
operational. Remove and fully recharge the battery
before attempting to start.
CONNECTING BATTERY CHARGER &
BLOCK HEATER
A three-stage battery charger is provided standard for all 12
volt standby systems. The standard charger is an Automatic
Battery Charger & Maintainer. This Charger has three rates
of charging. During the first stage, know as BULK Charging,
the charging current is limited to 2 Amps at a voltage of
up to 14.5 volts. The green LED will blink during this stage.
During stage two, know as ABSORPTION Charging, the
charging voltage is held at 14.5 volts and the charging rate
gradually reduces the amount of current (amps) flowing to
the battery. The green LED will also blink during this stage.
Stage three is called MAINTENANCE Charging. During this
stage the voltage will drop to 13.3 volts and the charge
rate will drop to as low at .1 amps. This keeps your batteries
in a fully charged condition without over charging them.
During this stage the green LED is constantly lit. There are
optional 5 and 10 amp chargers available that may be
installed on some units
The block heater is thermostatically controlled and when
plugged in will maintain the engine coolant temperature
between 100 and 120 degrees F.
NOTICE
The trickle charger is not intended to recharge a battery
which has become completely discharged. It is designed
to produce just enough current to maintain a fully
charged battery.
The battery tender and block heater are powered by a
customer supplied GFCI circuit and installed in accordance
with the United States National Electric Code. These AC
wires can be run in the same conduit as the other AC leads
from the generator. It is suggested that this circuit be fused
for 20 amps when the block heater and battery charger are
on shared circuits and two 15 amp circuits when they are
split. Splitting the battery charger and block heaters circuits
are advantageous that if one of the components fail in a
manner causing the breaker to trip the other component
will be unaffected and continue operating normally.
The block heater and battery charger are both hard wired
into a terminal block located in the AC wiring cabinet.
