10. Power Switch
To turn on and off AC power to Charger.

B. Battery Type Selection
AGM/GEL
: Sealed type (VRLA) , AGM-GEL , Maintenance Free , Automotive or Deep Cycle lead acid batteries
WET
: Flooded Type lead acid batteries (to which water can be added) Automotive or Deep Cycle
Calcium-Calcium : Sealed type (VRLA) Lead Acid batteries with Calcium content Automotive or Deep Cycle
B1. FLOAT VOLTAGE SELECTION
These fine tuned selections of float voltages enable the best voltage level for maximum battery life. Choose 55.2V when in doubt
or in Power Supply Mode.
Follow the markings on Deep Cycle batteries of the Standby float voltage.
B2. Recommended Battery Capacity
The following minimum AH capacities are a generalized suggestion, some batteries can take higher charge current, check with
battery manufacturers for charging batteries with smaller capacity.

C. Battery Charger Installation and Connection
Observe the warnings & safety precautions before rushing to install and operate the charger.
Check battery condition, fill up cells for wet battery, clean battery poles.
Secure the battery charger in a well ventilated place, make sure the mounting surface is flat and without soft covering material or
loose paper sheet. The air intake is at the bottom and air outlet at the back. Make sure both intake and outlet are not blocked.
Never place charger on top of battery.
Plug in the AC mains and turn on Power Switch, the Charger On LED and the Float LED should be on green indicating Charger is
in good order for charging lead acid battery.
Before connecting or disconnecting the charging cable, turn off the Power Switch and unplug AC cord from the mains.
First connect the Red cable to Positive + terminal of charger and the battery Positive + Pole. Then connect the Black cable to the
Negative – terminal and the Negative – Pole of the battery.
Make sure all the connections are secured and well tighten up, double check on the correct polarity.
Double check again for correct selection of Slide Switch 1 at Charger Mode, Switch 2 for Battery type and Switch 3 for Float
Voltage setting value.
When install in caravans and similar vehicles, the connection to the supply mains is to be in accordance with national wiring rules.
When charging automotive batteries:
- The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to the chassis,
remote from the battery and fuel line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains;
- After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and then the battery
connection.
Please notice the tightness of the power cables from the power supply to the load. If the cables are not fastened well
enough, the total resistance of the connecting cables will increase, resulting in a huge voltage drop between the terminals
to the load.
