INTRODUCTION

This battery charger provides superior battery
performance and life, with low electrical power
consumption. The solid state design provides a
highly reliable, self-regulating
minimum of moving parts, designed for long, trouble-
free service. The Dual-Mode design allows the
charger to be used on either liquid electrolyte or
sealed "maintenance free" lead acid batteries.
Simply set the battery mode switch to the type of
batteries being charged and the charger output is
automatically adjusted to the proper level. When the
batteries have reached their maximum state of
charge, the solid state control turns the charger off.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

This charger is equipped with an input AC voltage
select switch located on the front of the charger.
Properly setting the switch allows the charger to
a operate from either 100 to 125 volt or 200 to 250 volt
single phase, 50 or 60 Hertz outlets. Set the input
AC voltage select switch to 115 for a measured input
voltage of 100 to 125 VAC or 230 for a measured
input voltage of 200 to 250 VAC.
The charger battery mode switch must be set
correctly to charge either wet, or sealed, including
gel cell, lead acid batteries. Sliding the switch to gel,
sealed or maintenance free charges the battery to a
maximum of 2.38 volts per cell. The liquid or wet
setting allows the battery to charge to 2.5 to 2.6 volts
per cell.
