INSTALLATION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Follow all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer. Proper ventilation must
be provided for the batteries. Most batteries produce hydrogen gas when charging, which
is extremely explosive. Provide adequate battery ventilation. DO NOT expose the battery
to open flame, matches, cigarettes or sparks. DO NOT mount the BATTERY SAVER in an
unventilated enclosure with the battery, since the BATTERY SAVER relay can generate
sparks when switching.
BATTERY SAVER PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT exceed the maximum voltage or current rating of the BATTERY SAVER
model as stated in the specification sheet.
NOTE: Inductive loads such as compressors or pumps often have starting surges that exceed
the running current. Check the specifications of these loads to insure that the starting
surge does not exceed the rating of the BATTERY SAVER.
LOCATION / WIRING
GENERAL - The BATTERY SAVER 1 (BS1) is a low-voltage load disconnect. It should be
mounted as close to the battery as possible, and wires should be of sufficient gauge to carry
the required load current without excessive voltage drop. The BATTERY SAVER 6 (BS6) is a
generator start unit, which can be mounted at the battery or the generator, which ever is most
convenient. Wire gauge will depend upon the current required by the generator auto-start
circuit.
WIRING - Start by connecting the battery plus and minus to the terminals marked "Batt +"
and "Batt -" respectively.
BATTERY SAVER 1 (BS1) - Connect the load negative to the terminal marked "Load -".
With the load turned off, connect the load positive to the terminal marked "Load +".
BATTERY SAVERS 6 (BS6) - The terminals labeled "Load +" and "Load -" are
connected to the contacts of the relay. These are voltage free contacts and have no
polarity.
