Battery Selector Switch - KUSSMAUL AUTO CHARGE 4000 Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION
The New and Improved Auto Charge 4000, LPC, is a low profile, microprocessor controlled, completely
automatic, dual channel battery charger designed for vehicles with a dual battery system. This latest
generation of LPC charger improves upon user selectable functions, which includes user selectable
battery type. The LPC charger is also designed to withstand the shock and vibration encountered by
vehicle mounted equipment.
FEATURES
I. Auto Charge 4000
• Automatic current limiting
• Voltage regulated output
• Remote dual battery charge/condition indicator display
• Accommodates Lead-Acid, Gelled Electrolyte, AGM and Odyssey® battery types
• Power "ON" LED indicator
• System Status indicator
• Internal cooling fan
II. CHARGE CONTROLS & ELECTRONIC REMOTE SENSING
The AC 4000, LPC, contains a precision voltage controller to maintain the battery's charge. The
output terminal is voltage regulated, and internal circuitry provides for constant power during loaded
situations. Using high-frequency switching technology, the output terminal voltage is compared to a
reference voltage; any error detected is then used to control the charger output at the desired level.
There is no "trickle charge" and therefore no danger of overcharging and water boil-off.
III. AUTOMATIC CURRENT LIMITING
When batteries are severely discharged, some battery chargers can be overloaded due to the high
charging current required. The AC 4000,LPC, contains an automatic current limit. The current limit
feature limits the output current when charging a deeply discharged battery, or if the starter cranks
the engine while charging. The current limiter thus eliminates the need for an ignition interlock circuit
IV. BATTERY SELECTOR SWITCH (LEAD-ACID, GEL-CELL, AGM, or ODYSSEY®
DIP switches are used to select between various battery chemistries.
