3. CAUTION — To reduce the risk of injury, charge only 6 cell this manual: (PT 80) or 12 cell (PT-24-45U & PT-24-95U) lead-acid rechargeable batteries (flooded, AGM, gel or sealed). Other types of batteries • Three step “smart” charging: bulk, absorption, float may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
III) INSTALLATION PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS 1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough A) Materials Provided to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery. 2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery 1) Installation/Operation manual acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

IV) OPERATION FIGURE 4: Typical Charger Output Graph (into battery without load) A) Three Stage Charge Regimen The Phase Three Battery Charger utilizes the three stage charge BULK PHASE ABSORPTION PHASE FLOAT PHASE regimen which is widely recommended by battery manufacturers for allowing the fastest possible recharge time without loss of batteries’...
The approximate ranges are See the SPECIFICATIONS section for the actual preset charge and illustrated below. float voltages for the PT-80 and PT 80, PT-24-45U, and PT-24-95U. FIGURE 5: Adjusting the Time-out Circuit D) Remote Monitor Panel Option �����������...
section III-E) and using the temperature compensation option, Therefore, the Phase Three charger is designed to utilize an optional remote sensor (available from NEWMAR; model TCS- you must use a separate sensor for each charger, and the sensors must be mounted close together in the same battery box or on the 12/24) which provides automatic temperature compensation.
Installing the timer requires a mating connector with dual wires increased load demand. When load current exceeds 10-20 % of the which are plugged into a jack on the internal charger function charger’s rated capacity, the charger will go into the absorption circuit board.
VII TROUBLESHOOTING Note: The PT 80, PT-24-45U, and PT-=24-95U chargers incorporate a self-contained A.C. to D.C. conversion module which utilizes numerous automatic protection circuits. The A.C. input and D.C. output fuses which protect internal wiring are housed inside the charger module.

Turn off main battery switch to D.C. electrical at 3 amps or more—does not current (not a problem condition) panel or turn of all D.C. loads if you wish to confirm taper back charger will output minimal amperage to fully charged batteries...
Routine Checks and Maintenance Troubleshooting Your Battery System If your battery will not accept or hold a charge, one of the Batteries should periodically be “exercised” (slowly discharged following conditions may exist: and then recharged) to keep them in top condition. New batteries may need to be exercised before they will be capable of their full 1.
