I) GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Phase Three Series Battery Charger represents a new phase in charger design and performance,
employing "smart" switching circuitry which puts batteries through the optimum three‐step charge
process, adapts for gel‐cell or lead‐acid batteries, features precise voltage compensation for varying
battery temperature, is rated for continuous duty and is housed in a rugged, powder coated stainless
steel and aluminum case.
Following is a brief listing of some of the more important features/options of your Phase Three Charger.
Each is fully detailed later in this manual:
* Three step "smart" charging: bulk, absorption, float
* Gel cell/lead‐acid switch selects optimum charge/float voltages based on battery type
* Multiple output banks charge independently based on demand
* "Universal" 115/230V AC, 50‐60 Hz input—can be used anywhere in the world
* Current limiting prevents damage from overload
* Cooling fan allows continuous operation at full‐rated output
* High charge voltage time‐out circuit prevents overcharge during continuous high amperage
demands
* Optional temperature compensation sensor (model TCS‐12/24) fine tunes output voltage based on
battery temperature
* Optional remote panel (model RP) allows remote monitoring of charger phase status and manual re‐
initialization of three stage charge cycle
* Optional equalization circuit connection
* Use as a power supply without in‐line battery; allows continued use of DC powered electronics
(when AC is available) in the event that batteries must be taken off‐line or removed
* Rugged stainless steel case with drip shield
* Models PT‐14W and PT‐24‐8W carry the CE mark
* All models ignition protected per USCG CFR 183.410
In addition, your Phase Three Charger carries a full two year warranty against defects in materials or
workmanship from date of purchase. Careful attention to these instructions should help you to enjoy
years of trouble‐free service.
