4. AC INPUT

WARNI NG: FAILURE TO P ROP ERLY CONNECT THE AC VOLTAGE CONDUCTORS COULD CAUSE
SERI OUS DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER.
WARNI NG: DO NOT OP ERATE THE CHARGER WITHOUT P ROP ER GROUNDING.
GROUNDI NG CAN RESULT IN THE RIS K OF AN ELECTRIC S HOCK.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC S HOCK OR FI RE, DISCONNECT AC POW ER
FROM THE CHARGER BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVI NG UNIT.
WARNI NG: DO NOT TOUCH THE CHARGER'S TERMINALS OR AN ELECTRICAL S HOCK COULD
OCCUR. A VOLTAGE IS PRES ENT ON THE DC TERMINALS EV EN AFTER THE AC IS DISCONNECTED
BECAUS E OF THE ENERGY STORED IN THE CAPACITORS.
The charger has an AC input rating of 100-240 volts, 50-200 hertz, single-phase. The c harger has an AC
operating range of 90-264 volts, 45-205 hertz. Below 100 volts, the charger may reduce output power.
Use an appropriate size wire for t he A C input. Quarter-inch (1/4") ring t erminals are required for proper
connection to t he A C input binding posts (A.A.R.) loc ated on the front of the charger. Open the access door
cover on the front of the charger.
Electrical Code and all local c odes and ordinances . Dre ss field installed Class 2 or Class 3 circuits at
least 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) away from power, light, or Class 1 circuits. Connect the AC input terminals on
the two right -most posts, as marked on the A.A.R. terminal board, inside of the access door. Connect the AC
ground to the terminal lug provided, as also marked on the inside of the access door. Close the access door
after tightening all of the binding post nuts.

5. DC OUTPUT

WARNI NG: DO NOT TOUCH THE CHARGER'S TERMINALS OR AN ELECTRICAL S HOCK COULD
OCCUR.
WARNI NG: BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIV E GAS. CHARGE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. TO PREV ENT ARCING OR BURNING NEAR BATTERI ES, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DC
CHARGING CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERIES W HEN THE CHARGER IS OP ERATING. IF THE
CHARGE
CYCLE
DISCONNECTI NG THE DC OUTP UT CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERI ES. KEEP SP ARKS, FLAME,
AND SMOKING MATERIALS AW AY FROM BATTERIES. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FI RE, DO NOT USE
THE CHARGER NEAR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
Use Table 5-1 to select the appropriat e gauge and length DC output cable for your application. Maximum
wire gauge is 4 AWG to fit the openings for the DC wiring above the binding posts (A.A.R.). Dress field
installed Class 2 or Class 3 circuits at least 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) away from power, light, or Class 1
circuits.
Quarter-inch (1/4") ring terminals are required for proper connection to the DC output binding posts (A.A.R.)
located on the front of the charger. Open the access door cover on the front of the charger. Connect the DC
output terminals on the two left-most posts, with positive (+) on the left and negative (-) on the right, as
marked on the A.A.R. terminal board, inside of the access door. Check to make sure that the polarity of the
DC output wires are the same as those connected to the battery. The charger will not operate in a reversed
polarity condition. If the DC polarity is reversed, the main DC output fuse will protect the charger from internal
damage. Correct the reversed wires and replace the fuse. Clos e the access door after tightening all of the
binding post nuts.
