OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NPE, NPEXU, NO POLARITY Battery Chargers For Industrial Use: A float charger designed for gel, and starting batteries Quick Charge Corp. 800 658-2841 e-mail quickcharge@icnet.net www.quickcharge.com Made in the U.S.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS: The No Polarity chargers do not have positive and negative connections. The two clips may be connected to the battery(s) either way. Move the switch to the OFF position. Before making battery connections, be sure the charger voltage matches that of the battery(s). Once connected, the green battery LED should lite. If not, see the trouble shooting section before proceeding. Plug the charger into AC power with the same ratings as that of the charger. (See decal).
SAFETY INFORMATION AC WIRING: Before making AC connections, refer to the requirements on the charger ID label. If your charger is not equipped with an AC plug, for example, a 230 volt charger, have a qualified electrician install one. To reduce the risk of fire, use this charger only on branch circuits that are protected by a circuit breaker or fuse, and that are adequate to carry the power drawn by the charger.
OTHER SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use charger if it shows signs of physical stress, or if DC output leads or connector feel hot when used. Do not disconnect the DC output clamps, or connector from the batteries when the charger is on. The resulting arcing could cause the batteries to explode. Do not expose charger to rain. NEVER charge a battery at a higher voltage than what it is rated for. The charger will become hot during use, provide adequate air flow around it.
Do not over discharge batteries. Excessive discharge can cause polarity reversal of individual cells resulting in complete battery failure. Re-charge batteries as soon as possible after a deep discharge, but not if they are warm, allow a cooling down period. Provide adequate ventilation when charging batteries. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain, dust, solvents, or other flammables.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Cause Corrective Action No green LED when Connected to battery. The charger does not see the battery. Break in DC cord, or connector. Have a qualified person make repair. Battery voltage too low to turn the charger on. If the battery has too low a voltage you may need to “jump” the dead battery with a charged battery, connecting positive to positive, and negative to negative so the charger has enough voltage to turn on.
The charger blows it’s fuse, or branch circuit fuse/circuit breaker as soon as it’s switched on. Charger is shorted Contact factory. The charger blows the branch circuit fuse/circuit breaker a short while after being switched on. The branch circuit is too small. Relocate charger to a branch circuit with a heavier rating, or remove other loads on the circuit. Batteries use water, get hot, or smell. One or more dead cells. Replace batteries.
