Connect and disconnect DC output connections only after setting battery charger switch to off position. Analytic Systems does not recommend the use of the BCD310 Series Battery Chargers in life support applications where failure or malfunction of this product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness.
Introduction This all new single board design incorporates state of the art switchmode technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quite operation. Multiple stages of filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. Extra features include adjustable output voltage, audible and visual indicators for low input voltage, low output voltage and over temperature and a dry contact alarm relay output.
18-8 Stainless Weight 7.0 lb / 3.2 kg * This is Analytic Systems’ suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their recommendations. * Specifications subjects to change without notice. Designed and manufactured by: ANALYTIC SYSTEMS WARE (1993) LTD. 8128 River Way p.
POWER CONNECTION The unit is supplied with power leads 1 meter long. This should normally be adequate to connect to a source of power. If you must extend the power leads, be sure to use at least a good quality (typeTEW) AWG12 wire. The wire colours are: Red - Positive Black - Negative All connections should be made inside an appropriate junction box.
Operation Prior to turning on the unit, you must decide on which charging profile, 2 or 3 stage charging, to use. To help you decide, please see the following section entitled 2 or 3 Stage Charging to determine the charging profile. Once you have decided on the charging profile you must set the switch to the correct position.

A two-stage charger is preferred for “loaded” batteries and a three-stage for idle or unloaded batteries during recharging. All of Analytic Systems’ chargers include adjustable output voltage for charging standard or deep cycle lead-acid, VLRA or gel type batteries.
Troubleshooting If the red OVERTEMP LED and the audible alarm come on, the unit has overheated, and it will shut down until it cools off sufficiently. You may not have allowed sufficient space around the unit for cooling, or there may be too many devices connected to the output of the unit. Either reduce the number of devices connected to the unit, or reposition the unit for better cooling.
Meters A high quality digital meter can be added to the voltage converter (factory installed only). The meter shows simultaneous voltage and current on either of the two output terminals. A toggle switch permits selection between the output terminals. The meter features bright red LED readouts to permit easy monitoring from many feet or meters away.
IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. A remote control panel may be connected to the inverter using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the battery charger. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option.

The charger will charge the battery at approximately 15% its normal rate (i.e. 6 amps for a 40 amp charger) until the battery reaches a maximum voltage of 15.5 volts (31.0 volts for a 24V battery, etc.) and then reduce the current as necessary to maintain the battery at that voltage. Three hours after the Equalize cycle begins, the charger will return to the float mode where the battery can be maintained indefinitely.
