(included)
Fasten all wires leading from the charger onto the mounting
surface using cable ties. Avoid any sharp edges that might cut
the insulation ofthe wires. This completes your installation.
Testing your installation
Activate the battery charger by re-connecting your dockside AC
power. Observe the amp meter on the front of the charger. It
should show that current is flowing into your batteries. (Turn
on several DC lights if you are not sure if the meter is
registering.) When the batteries have reached full charge, the
green LED light on the front of the charger will turn on.
After 24 hours, use a voltmeter to check the voltage at the
positive and negative posts of each battery with the charger on.
Each battery should read between 13.2 to 13.6
have large batteries, or a continuous DC load is present,
measure the battery voltages after 48 hours.
