Remote Charger Indicator Display:
The standard indicator displays the charge condition of the battery in 10-levels from "LOW
CHARGE" to "FULLY CHARGED". This device indicates a defective battery when a bar
graph does not rise to the "FULLY CHARGED" level after an extended period of charging.
See option accessories for enhanced charger indicator displays. Note: If a battery is being
charged with an external load of 4 to 10 amperes across its terminals, the bar graph may
move down 1 or 2 levels. This does not indicate a defective battery.
LED Status Indicators:
• BATTERY OK: Indicates that a battery of proper polarity is connected to the charger
output terminals.
• AUX ON: Indicates that power to the AUX output terminal is ON.
• AC ON: Indicates that AC input voltage is present. Note: Battery must be above
9VDC and of proper polarity.
AUX Output:
The output terminal strip provides an additional output to accomodate 12 volt accessories,
such as: Kussmaul's 12VDC air pump. The AUX output works in conjunction with a front
panel mounted rocker switch. For normal operation, the rocker switch should be left in AC
mode, which means that the aux accessory works only when shoreline power is supplied
to the charger. With the switch in DC mode the aux accessory will operate when AC power
is ON or OFF. In either position the aux output operates from the vehicle's batteries, while
the charger automatically recharges the batteries as required.
AUX Output Automatic Reset Fuse:
The LPC contains an internal automatic reset fuse. Should the AUX output fuse open,
reset the fuse by cycling the AC input power (shore line). Note: the AUX rocker switch
must be in AC mode.
AC Input Circuit Breaker Protection:
The charger AC input is circuit protected with a panel mounted manual reset circuit breaker.
Cooling Fan:
The LPC is fan cooled and turns on when the charger is on. Air is circulated from the rear
panel and exhusted through the front panel.
Reverse Polarity Protected (only when externally fused):
A surface mounted high current manual reset circuit breaker is provided with each charger.
The circuit breaker must be installed with every charger to provide reverse polarity protection.
If the circuit breaker is not installed then the charger will not be reverse polarity protected.
