4. INSTALLATION
NOTE:
For optimum performance, the battery charger should be located as close to the main cranking battery as practicable. If a position
is chosen that is away from the main battery you must adhere to a cable size of 6 AWG (13.3mm
battery wire (BLUE wire), +12V Auxiliary battery wire (RED wire) and common Ground wires (BLACK wires) exiting the rear of the
charger (fig.2).
DO NOT use cable sizes smaller than 6 AWG when joining to these fixed cables.
NOTE:
Maximum recommended length of 6 AWG +12V Start battery wire (BLUE wire) is 4 metres.
NOTE:
Maximum recommended length of 6 AWG +12V Auxiliary battery wire (RED wire) is 7 metres.
NOTE:
Reducing cable sizes or exceeding maximum recommended lengths may lead to excessive voltage drop, causing poor charger
performance or failure signified by either the charger's lights flashing or failure to initialise.
4.1.
Secure the charger using the screws provided. See note above ref. location.
4.2.
When the unit is in position connect the red, vehicle ignition power wire (fig.2) to the ignition power supply. The charger will
therefore only function while the ignition system is on.
4.3.
When charger is connected and powered On, the Power light will illuminate (fig.1). When the charger is charging the auxiliary
battery, the green CHARGING light will be lit (fig.1) and when fully charged the yellow FULLY CHARGED light (fig.1) will be lit.
4.4.
The thinner black wire (fig.2) should now be connected. The nature of the connection depends on the type of battery being used.
4.4.1.
GEL battery: Connect the wire to the common ground cable (fig.2).
4.4.2.
AGM / Lead Acid: DO NOT connect this wire to anything. Fully insulate the wire's bare end.
4.4.3.
Calcium: Connect the wire to the blue (+12V cranking battery) wire (fig.2)
4.5.
Measure and cut cable to suit distances from charger to cranking and auxiliary batteries (see fig.2). Terminate the cable ends with
suitable cable lugs. Soldering these is strongly recommended to maximise connectivity.
WARNING!: An essential safety feature is to fit a suitable in-line fuse or circuit breaker (not supplied) at a suitable point along the
‰
cable between the charger and the main cranking battery.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1.
Cleaning and user maintenance should be carried out by competent persons.
5.2.
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery connectors, cords, and the charger case.
5.3.
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition.
5.4.
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no serviceable parts.
5.5.
All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
5.6.
If any component is damaged, do not use until repaired or replaced.
