Introduction

The HPX-10 is a two-stage, constant voltage battery charger with current limiting, current fold back, and
automatic temperature compensation of the output voltage. It is protected against shorting and reversing the
output terminals on a battery. There is one indicator light. It lights green to indicate when power is applied, there
is a battery attached, or that the charger is in float mode. It lights yellow when the unit is charging a battery. A red
light indicates a fault condition (short/reversed output connector).
This unit is designed to automatically switch into a single stage, float charge mode when the battery is 70%
charged. A single stage, parallel charger version is available for maintaining full charge on a battery when used
with a permanent or intermittent parallel load. This unit is not designed to be used as a standalone power supply.
For comprehensive operating instructions, refer to the manufacturer's website: http://www.xenotronix.com/PDF/

Operation

This section contains instructions for operating the battery charger.
1. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet supplying the correct input voltage. The indicator
light should be green.
2. Plug the connector from the battery into the connector on the battery charger.
Ensure that the "keys" on each connector line up.
The indicator light will be yellow until the battery is 95% charged. The light will then change to green, indicating
a switch to float chrage mode. For 100% charge, the battery should remain connected to the charger for an
additional three hours.
To keep battery at full capacity, it is recommended to leave the battery connected to the charger, in float
charge mode, until ready to use. The battery can remain on the charger in float charge mode indefinitely
without damaging the battery.
