CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

There are four (4) LED indicators and one button switch (select charge rate) that make up the controls and indicators for this
charger. Refer to FIGURE 3. Three vertical bar LEDs indicate the selected charge rate. A zero charge rate is indicated by "unlit"
Charge Rate LEDs. There is no charger output when all LEDs bars are unlit the charger is not charging. Pressing the 2/6/10A
switch selects the desired charge rate. Four lit LEDs indicate the following:
Power - When lit indicates AC is applied to the charger.
Charging Complete - Indicates the battery is fully charged.
Fault - Indicates one or more abnormal conditions including Reverse Polarity.
(If the Fault LED lights, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING for details)
Rev. - Lights when clamps are incorrectly connected to battery terminals.

OPERATION:

Once clamps are connected, AC is connected and there is no reverse polarity condition, press the 2/6/10A button switch
and the charger will begin charging at 2 Amps. Pressing the 2/6/10A switch a second time will advance the charge rate
to 6A, then 10A. Pressing the button switch again will turn OFF the charger output and all LED bars will be "unlit." To
return to 2A press the Charge Rate button switch. This charger has three user selected charge rates 2, 6 and 10 amps.
Pressing the 2/6/10A switch button selects the desired charge rate. The selected Charge Rate is indicated by a lit vertical
LED bar.
NOTE: Each time the charger rate is changed, the charger sounds a beep. The only time the selected charge rate does
not display at the full selected rate is when the battery is nearly full and charging at either steps two or three. The
display will be showing a slowing charge rate. To return to 2A, press the 2/6/10A button. When the battery is
fully charged, the "Charging Complete" LED is lit.
• Small 12-volt DC batteries such as those used in motorcycles, garden tractors, ATVs, jet skis, and snowmobiles can be
damaged by high charge rates.
ALWAYS select the 2 Amp setting to charge this type of battery. For slower charging time on larger batteries, select
the 2 Amp setting.
