IMPORTANT & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the battery charger. ALL BATTERY CHARGERS 1. CAUTION — To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid or sealed gel cell type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. 2. Do not expose battery charger to rain or snow. 3.
vi. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion. vii. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn. viii. NEVER charge a frozen battery. ix.
Introduction This all new single board design incorporates state of the art switchmode technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quite operation. Multiple stages of filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. Extra features include adjustable output voltage, audible and visual indicators for low input voltage, low output voltage and over temperature.

Installation MOUNTING Mount the unit in a DRY location. Allow at least 1 inch of clearance for adequate cooling. POWER CONNECTION The unit is supplied with input power leads 1 meter long. This should normally be adequate to connect to a source of power. If you must extend the cable: • Use the smallest extension length possible. • Use no less than 10 gauge conductors. • Splice and solder the joints. • Protect the joints with heat shrink tubing.
Operation Turn the power switch on the front of the unit on to energize the outputs. If you wish to adjust the output voltage, first attach a good digital voltmeter to the output terminals to monitor the voltage. Next, remove the cover plate (secured by 2 screws) to expose the output adjust potentiometer. Reach in with a very small flat blade screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer. Clockwise increases the output voltage, and counter clockwise decreases it.
Dry Contact Relay To use your dry contact output fail relay you must connect a 9-pin D connector to the unit. You must use pins one and six as is indicated on page 7 in the remote connector diagram. The relay is factory preset to fail in the closed position when the low output LED and buzzer come on. If you wish to have the relay fail in the open position when the low output LED and buzzer come on, you must take the cover off the unit and move the jumper to the other position on J11.
Remote Control Option A remote control panel may be connected to the converter using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the side of the battery charger. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option. The remote control panel allows the unit to be operated remotely as well as duplicating all the diagnostic indicators and audible alarm. IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems.
