Mounting The Charger; Making Dc Connections; Setting Up The Battery Chemistry - Guest 16202 Owner's Manual

Mounting the Charger

For 16061 use corrosion resistant #10 bolts, backed by a flat washer, and secured to
1.
the mounting surface with a split-ring lock washer.
For the 16102, 16153 and 16202 use corrosion resistant ¼" bolts, backed by a flat
washer, and secured to the mounting surface with a split-ring lock washer.
Hold the charger to the mounting surface and mark the holes.
2.
Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.
3.
Align the charger and assemble the mounting hardware. Secure.
4.
Making the DC Connections
Check polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS., P, +) battery post usually has
a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG., N, -) post. Connect Red charger output
wire to POSITIVE post, Black charger wire to NEGATIVE. See below diagrams for more
details.

Setting Up the Battery Chemistry

Note: The battery chemistry needs to be set for each individual battery bank or charger
output.
The battery chemistry indicators are defined as follows:
Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) and AGM Battery Mode
Safe Mode
Gel Battery Mode
After you connect the DC cables of the charger to the batteries, the battery chemistry
selection LED will illuminate (Safe Mode). At this point, you can toggle thru the different
battery chemistry selections by pressing the pushbutton on the membrane panel for each
specific output. Once AC is plugged in, this setting will be set by the micro into RAM and
it will remember this setting until you interrupt both the battery power and AC power to
the charger.
The battery chemistry selection LED will turn OFF 10 minutes after the batteries are first
connected; this is called "sleep mode". To recover from "sleep mode" press the battery
chemistry selection button, this will turn ON the battery chemistry selection LED as long
as AC power has not yet been applied.
The battery chemistry select LED will turn ON once AC has been applied to the charger
and turn OFF 10 minutes after AC has been disconnected.
If you do not know what type of battery you have, please choose the safe mode
algorithm, which was developed for an unknown battery chemistry or application
requirement.
