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, 2 or 3 battery banks. If you are hooking up 2 or 3 battery banks keep in mind that they MUST share a common ground! If you are hooking up 3 battery banks, hook them up as is shown below.

A two-stage charger is preferred for “loaded” batteries and a three-stage for idle or unloaded batteries during recharging. All of Analytic Systems’ chargers include adjustable output voltage for charging standard or deep cycle lead-acid, VLRA or gel type batteries.
Troubleshooting If the red OVERTEMP LED and the audible alarm come on, the unit has overheated, and it will shut down until it cools off sufficiently. You may not have allowed sufficient space around the unit for cooling, or there may be too many devices connected to the output of the unit. Either reduce the number of devices connected to the unit, or reposition the unit for better cooling.
Dry Contact Relay The charger is fitted with a dry contact relay to indicate output failure to a monitoring system. To use the 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 the remote connector diagram. The relay is factory preset to fail in the closed position when the low output LED and buzzer come on.
IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. REMOTE CONNECTOR This connector is located on the side of the unit. Important: To prevent the possibility of High Voltage Electrical Shock, do not power up the battery charger unless all wiring from the unit to the remote is securely connected.

The charger will charge the battery at approximately 10% its normal rate (i.e. 4 amps for a 40 amp charger) until the battery reaches a maximum voltage of 15.5 volts (31.0 volts for a 24V battery, etc.) and then reduce the current as necessary to maintain the battery at that voltage. Three hours after the Equalize cycle begins, the charger will return to the float mode where the battery can be maintained indefinitely.
