IMPORTANT & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger 2. Do not expose battery charger to rain or snow. 3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. 4. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.
v. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. vi. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion. vii. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn. viii.
Introduction All new Current Mode switching design offers increased power and reliability in a compact package. Extra input and output filtering reduce EMI to extremely low levels. Reliability features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery hookup protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery. The output voltage is easily adjusted 1.0 volts above or below the standard output voltage.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Two Positive output terminals and two Negative output terminals are provided. Connect only one wire to each terminal. Ensure that the total average load connected does not exceed the continuous current rating of the unit. To ensure spark free connections the power switch must be in the OFF position prior to making the connections to the battery bank(s). The unit may be hooked to 1 or 2 battery banks. Hook up the battery bank(s) as shown below.
voltage at the output terminals of the unit with a good digital voltmeter. As shipped from the factory, the unit is preset to 13.6, 27.2, 36.3 or 54.4 VDC, which is generally recommended for lead-acid batteries. If you wish to adjust the charging voltage, remove the cover plate (secured by 2 screws) to expose the output adjust potentiometer. Reach in with a very small flat blade screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer. Please note that this adjusts both the float and absorption voltages at the same time.
A three-stage charger is the fastest charger. It charges the battery at a constant current until the battery voltage reaches a slightly elevated level. The battery is maintained at this voltage while the charging current diminishes to a low value, and then the battery is switched to the float voltage where it can be maintained indefinitely.
Dry Contact Relay To use your dry contact output fail relay you must connect a 9-pin D connector to the unit. You must use pins one and six as is indicated on page 10 in the remote connector diagram. The relay is factory preset to fail in the closed position when the low output LED and buzzer come on. If you wish to have the relay fail in the open position when the low output LED and buzzer come on, you must take the cover off the unit and move the jumper to the other position on J22.
Remote Control Option IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. A remote control panel may be connected to the battery charger using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the side of the battery charger. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option. The remote control panel allows the unit to be operated remotely as well as duplicating all the diagnostic indicators and audible alarm.
Equalize Option The purpose of the Equalize Option is to deliberately overcharge the battery at a low rate of current to ensure that all cells are fully charged and to reduce the chance of sulfation of the battery. During the Equalize cycle, the cells, which are fully charged, will produce Hydrogen gas, and the cells, which are undercharged, will be brought up to full charge. An Equalize cycle should be done once every 2-3 months, or whenever battery capacity appears to be diminished.
plugged into “Batt 1”. If there is a second temperature sensor, it should be plugged into to the phone jack labeled “Batt 2”. If a battery blanket is used the sensor may be tucked inside the blanket with the proper side of the sensor facing the battery. The sensor may be placed on top of the battery but it should be secured to the battery so as to prevent it from losing contact with the battery.
