The CT500-1 must be connected to the battery in order for the
LEDs to illuminate. Should no illumination appear, unplug the
unit and recheck battery connections to ensure proper polarity.
The red wire connects to the positive and the black to the nega-
tive battery terminal.
If the charger is left for extended periods of time, it is advisable
to check to be certain that the green light is on and the battery
voltage is less than 27.2VDC.
Over temperature: The CT500-1 will reduce its charging current
as its case temperature increases to insure proper operation.
In the event of a charger over temperature, the unit will turn off
until it cools and then restart automatically.
Over voltage protection (OVP): If the red light marked "Service"
ever illuminates, the unit should be removed and returned to
MAX UNITS
the factory. This light indicates that the internal over-voltage
protection shut off has been tripped and the unit will shut down.
