Page 3: Important Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Hazardous conditions may result if the charger is not installed or operated correctly. Please read the following instructions to prevent personal injury or damage to the charger: Battery Related To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the battery Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine Charge only Lead Acid type of batteries ( Flooded / Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM ) /... -
Page 4: Description And Features
DESCRIPTION These chargers are used to charge Lead Acid Batteries (Flooded, AGM or Gel Cell). SEC-1215A (Maximum charging current 15A) and SEC-1230A (Maximum charging current 30A) are used to charge 12 V batteries. SEC-2415A (Maximum charging current 15A) is used to charge 24 V batteries. -
Page 5: Charging Stages
As explained above, as the charging current drops below the preset threshold ( 1.5 to 2 amps for SEC-1215A / SEC-2415A and 2.5 A to 3 A for SEC-1230A ), it signals that the battery is 100% charged. In this “Float or Maintenance Charging Stage”, the charger outputs a constant voltage of 13.5 V for 12 V system and 27 V for 24 V system. -
Page 6: Protections
Over load Current Limiting The current drawn by the load is automatically limited to a maximum of 15 A for SEC-1215A / SEC-2415A and 30 A for SEC-1230A. If the load tries to draw a higher current than these limits, the output voltage of the unit will start to drop. -

Recommended DC cable sizes are given below. The length in feet is the length of the pair of the positive and negative DC cables from the charger to the battery / other DC load: Length of the pair of the SEC-1215A / SEC-2415A SEC-1230A Positive & negative cables 0 to 6 ft. - Page 8 Always change the Dip Switch setting when the charger is off , i.e. after disconnect- ing the charger from the AC input power ) NOTE : The voltages are for a temperature of 80 Degrees F DIP SWITCH SETTINGS - SEC-1215A / SEC-1230A Float Boost...
- Page 9 If more than one bank of batteries is connected, these will be charged at the same time ( The maximum charging current of 15 A of SEC-1215A / SEC-2415A and 30 A of SEC-1230A will be shared among the connected banks of the batteries depending upon their discharged states ) as long as the AC power is available to the charger.
- Page 10 OPERATION When the charger is switched on, the red LED lights up indicating that output voltage is available. When the batteries are being charged or when the charger is supplying other DC load, the current fed by the charger will be indicated by the ammeter. When the batteries are discharged, they will draw charging current proportional to their discharged condition (up to a maximum current rating of the charger) and this current draw will be shown by the ammeter.
- Page 11 Charging more than one bank of batteries CAUTION ! When charging more than one bank of batteries at the same time using 3 Stage Charging, ensure that the batteries in the banks are in a similar discharged condition. If one bank is completely discharged and another is almost fully charged, the bank that is fully charged will be subjected to over charge condi- tion during the time when the charger remains in Boost Stage for charging the completely discharged bank...
