Page 2: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION Your Phase Three Series Battery Charger represents a new phase in charger design and performance, employing "smart" switching circuitry which puts batteries through the optimum three-step charge process, adapts for gel-cell or lead-acid batteries, is rated for continuous duty and is housed in a rugged stainless steel case. Following is a brief listing of some of the more important features/options of your Phase Three Charger. - Page 3 4. Do not expose charger to rain or spray. 5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by NEWMAR may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons. 6. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord (if plugged into an a.c.

III) INSTALLATION A) Materials Provided The PT-7 charger is provided completely assembled and ready for installation. The in- staller must provide mounting hardware, as well as d.c. output wiring and connectors. Proper sizes and gauges for the hardware, wire and connectors are noted in sections C and D following. -

descriptions as “gel-cell” or “lead-acid”. You are advised to consult the manufacturer of your particular battery as to proper charging regimen, and use the battery type selection switch setting which most closely conforms to the recommended voltages. See the SPECIFICATIONS section for the actual preset charge and float voltages for each model. -

mately 3 amps, the charger will remain in the charge mode (unless the Charge Cycle Select switch is put into the "Float" position). C) Constant Versus Occasional Use In general, it is recommended that the charger be left connected continuously to the a.c. distribution system so that it will be in operation whenever a.c. -

Page 15: Battery Care Tips
Regular maintenance and proper care will assure you reliable service from the most depended upon and sometimes most neglected items, your batteries and battery charger. NEWMAR battery chargers are designed to keep your batteries fully charged but your batteries also need proper regular maintenance to provide a maximum life of service. - Page 16 which are not maintenance-free to require topping off about once a month. A battery’s state of charge may be monitored by checking the specific gravity or by open circuit voltage. You may use the following table to evaluate the condition of your batter- ies: Battery Condition Table Specific Gravity...
