Troubleshooting
No blue AC Power LED or Charge Mode indicator or Battery Type LED
Check for loss of AC power at the 120 VAC outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) has not
tripped. Check with a meter or 120 VAC test light that AC power is present at the end or your extension cord.
Reset AC power if it was not present. Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery and that all connections are clean and tight. Wait 2 minutes while unit performs self test. If
AC power is present and all connections are correct and LEDs do not illuminate, contact ProMariner at 1-800-
824-0524 from 8:30 am to 5pm Eastern Time. If your ProTournament elite is within the warranty period of 3
years from the date of purchase, you can go to www.promariner.com where you will find our customer care
return form and instructions.
Green System Check OK indicator is OFF and a red Battery Bank Trouble Status LED is ON solid.
Identify the battery bank LED that is lit, remove AC power and check the battery bank indicated i.e 1, 2, 3
(model specific). The LED indicates there is a fault present. Listed below are typical faults and what can be
done to clear the red battery bank trouble status indicator (reapply AC power after making any corrections):
Poor battery connections - Make sure all connections are tight and clean
Blown DC cable fuse - Make sure all fuses are good with a digital ohm meter or continuity tester and
visually inspect the ProTournament elite 's DC battery cables to insure they have not been compromised
or shorted in any way.
Reverse polarity - Make sure all wiring connections are color coded and connected properly and that
each bank cable goes to one 12V battery where (+) = red (-) = black.
Battery too low to charge - with a digital voltmeter make sure the battery is over 2.0 volts DC (if not
have your battery charged out of the boat and have it load tested by your local battery dealer to insure
optimum performance on the water.
High battery voltage input - Check to make sure one bank lead was not spread across multiple
batteries connected in series for 24 or more volts DC. If so correct by wiring to the diagrams on pages 16-24.
Green System Check OK indicator is OFF and a red Battery Bank Trouble Status LED is flashing.
This is an indication of a deeply discharged battery that may need more charging time or it is a failing battery. To
help decide which simply reset AC power and try another charge cycle. If the flashing trouble LED comes on again
after the charge process is complete, remove the battery and have it load tested by your local battery dealer.
Check Fan indication (360 models only) LED is ON after self test
With charger disconnected from AC power and batteries, check to see if the fan is blocked or foreign
objects are inhibiting fan function. If there is no visual obstruction, contact ProMariner at 1-800-824-
0524 for further assistance.
Battery(s) not charging, blue AC Power LED, red Charging & Battery Type LEDs are ON
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections at each battery, and that all connections
are clean and tight. Confirm that there are no bank trouble status LED indicators on. With the charger on, read
DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings are less than 13 volts DC proceed with the following:
A. Disconnect AC power at the 120 VAC outlet.
B. Go to pages 16-24 of this manual and confirm your ProTournament elite model charger is
connected correctly as illustrated in the installation drawings.
C. Upon completing B above; plug your charger into AC power and observe the LED center. Charger
should be in the charging mode (charge status indicator should be red). After completing a full
charge cycle, 10-12 hours or more for deeply discharged or completely dead batteries, the Auto
Maintain mode LED indicator should be green.
Note: If a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) is available to you, instead of waiting to complete a full charge cycle, you can simply use a
DVM and take DC voltage measurements across each 12 volt battery. As long as the voltage continues to increase while the
red charging LED is on, this will serve as a confirmation that the charger is properly connected and is properly charging.
