WARNING THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS LETHAL VOLTAGE LEVELS. INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING, OR SERVICING CHARGER. ANY DEVIATION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS AND PERMANENT DAMAGE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS VOIDS THE WARRANTY. Install and ground the charger in accordance with the National Electric Code and your local electric code.

1.4. AC Service Requirements Follow local code requirements if they are different than the instructions in this manual. After checking the transformer connections as described in Paragraph 1.3, refer to Table 1-1, to determine the correct ratings for the AC cable, AC fuses, and AC service disconnect switch for the line amperes as listed on the nameplate of the charger for the available AC voltage TABLE 1-1 Line Amperes...

1.6 Grounding the Charger The charger must be grounded to the AC system ground for personnel safety. The green ground wire in the AC input wiring must be connected to the charger ground stud (Identified by a green dot and ground symbol). 1.7 Battery Connector and Charging Cable Verify that the connectors on both the battery and the charger are attached so that the positive output terminal of the charger is connected to the positive battery terminal.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION The charger utilizes a standard ferro-resonant transformer, which provides isolation from the AC service line and regulates the charging current. The transformer output is connected to a full-wave bridge of silicon diodes, which provides DC charging current to the battery. The starting charge amps and length of time required for a charge vary depending on the charger model.

observe any defective segments or indicators. When the self-diagnostic is complete, the charge starts if no delay is set, and the yellow ‘Charging’ indicator lights. The display shows the charging amps and battery volts per cell along with a message to indicate the charger is in phase 1 of the charge cycle. If auto start is disabled, the display shows ‘CHARGER OFF’.

The 046-0371 control can provide an auto-refresh charge as long as the battery remains connected to the charger if enabled. If AC power is lost during the wait period, the control resumes from where it left off after power is restored. During the auto-refresh charge, the amp-hours and charge time are added to the original charge.

2.1.9 Charge Indications The following indications are not necessarily a result of a charger problem. They are typically caused by external problems such as AC line, poor battery conditions, connections, etc. If abnormal charge conditions are detected, the charge is terminated, the red fault LED lights and the display shows: DISPLAY DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSE...

Note: F3 and F4 clear automatically if the battery voltage falls within acceptable limits. All indications except F8, F9 and F10 can be cleared by disconnecting the battery. For F8, F9 and F10, correct the condition that caused the indication and disconnect the battery to clear the indication. CAUTION: If F8 is showing, and the charger is providing current to the battery, remove AC power from the charger before disconnecting the battery.
