Safety Instructions

General

Do not expose the control unit to rain or
snow.
Pull the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the control unit.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If an ex-
tension cord must be used, be sure the
plug has the same configuration as the
plug on the control unit.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug the control unit and disconnect
the cables from the battery before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not disassemble the control unit.
When service is required contact
Glentronics technical support at (800)
991-0466, select option 3.

AC Power Requirements

The control unit must receive 115 volts AC
+/- 5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage
lower than this will cause the power failure
alarm to activate. Lower voltages can be
caused by utility company brown outs or
heavy power draw from other appliances
on the same circuit.

Personal Precautions

Wear eye protection and avoid touch-
ing your eyes while working near the
battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye
with running cold water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of the battery.
Remove personal metal items such as
rings, bracelets, watches, etc. when
working with a lead-acid battery.

Preparing to Charge

Charge only LEAD-ACID batteries with
the Pro Series 2200 control unit. Do not
use the control unit for charging dry-cell
batteries that are most commonly used
with home appliances.
Be sure the area around the battery is
well-ventilated.
When cleaning or adding water to the
battery, gas can be forcefully blown
away by using a piece of cardboard or
other nonmetallic material as a fan.
Clean the battery terminals. Be careful
to keep corrosion from coming in con-
tact with your eyes.

DC Connection Precautions

Connect and disconnect the battery
cable rings only after removing the
power cord from the electric outlet.
Never allow the rings to touch each
other.
Coat the terminals with a thin coat of
petroleum jelly to retard corrosion.
Attach the rings on the ends of the
battery cables to the battery posts and
secure them with wing nuts to insure a
good connection.
Follow these steps when the battery is
installed. A spark near the battery may
cause a battery explosion. To reduce
the risk of a spark near the battery:
Check the polarity of the battery posts.
The POSITIVE (+) battery post usu-
ally has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (-) post.
Connect the large ring on the POSITIVE
(BLACK) wire from the control unit to the
POSITIVE (+) post of the battery.
Connect the small ring on the NEG-
ATIVE (WHITE) wire from the control
unit to the NEGATIVE (-) post of the
battery.
When disconnecting the control unit,
first disconnect the AC power cord, and
then remove the rings from the battery
terminals.
