DISPLAY chargeGUARD multifunction display can be flush mounted or attached to the handlebar. z Auto-start feature - any activity of the battery voltage will turn it on. You can also push the Mode button to turn it on manually. z Auto-shutoff feature - two minutes of no activity of the battery voltage turns it off. z For nighttime viewing, the built-in daylight sensor dims the backlight automatically.
DISPLAY INSTALLATION f For best viewing, the Display should be vertical – not lay flat f Display location depends on the cable length – to reach the battery HANDLEBAR MOUNT X Choose an appropriate location Y Determine how to route both input cables Z Hold the Mounting Cradle in place over the handlebar [ Use each 1/8” tie wrap supplied, and feed them over the half-round and the handlebar then pull it tight \ Make sure the cables have enough slack when you steer both ways.
MODE SELECTIONS chargeGUARD display has a single button scroll feature to allow easy mode change while you are riding - even with gloves on. The default mode for each engine start is the Voltmeter function. After that, it will remain in whichever mode you select. Until you change it or restart the engine. Push the Mode button to sequence the display functions: VOLTMETER FUNCTION: Displays battery voltage from 0 to 19.9 volts. Bar-graph range is: 10 to 14 volts.
DISPLAY FACEPLATE chargeGUARD Display has a detachable faceplate. It can be painted to match your dash color, or additional faceplates in optional colors can be ordered separately. There are (4) latches, which hold the faceplate securely to Display housing. Insert a small jewelers screwdriver in each of the detents to release latch, one at a time. Once the faceplate is loose, carefully lift it up and away from the Display housing, leaving the rubber keypad in place.
CURRENT SENSOR The Current Sensor is an Integrated Copper Shunt, which mounts on the NEGATIVE (Ground) battery post. Shunt is rated for 100 Amps MAX current The power wire attached to the shunt must be connected to the positive battery post or a 12v source. INSTALLING CURRENT SENSOR: X Remove ALL cables from the NEGATIVE (Ground) post of the battery. Y Attach ALL ground cables to the shunt as shown here, with the nut & bolt supplied.
INSTALLATION COPPER PLATE BENT 90º Note! Copper plate should only be bent along the two notches. DO NOT pull on the wires while bending ZERO SET FEATURE The Integrated Shunt has been calibrated for zeroset at the factory. The offset values are stored in permanent memory of the Display.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR Typical location of the temperature sensor should be close to the road surface. Do not locate it near the exhaust or behind the radiator. Also, locating it just above the engine may cause it to read higher temperature due to the rising heat from the engine. ICE ALERT FEATURE: If the ambient temperature drops to 32º F (0º C) or below, the Display will change to Ice Alert automatically for about 10 seconds.
INSTALLATION Route the cable and make sure that the cable does not rub against any sharp edge or can pinch tightly between panels. Do not place it too close to the high voltage spark plug wires. Mount the Sensor vertically, so that the wires exit toward the ground. This will eliminate any water from collecting in the connector. Note! For high humidity environment, the Temperature Sensor and the attached cable can be wrapped in plastic or sealed with heat-shrink tubing.
chargeX CX-10 RJ11 port is for future use only. chargeX is an onboard charger. It is designed for mounting on your motorcycle permanently. Choose a suitable mounting location: Near the terminal posts of the battery Away from any direct water spray Position it so that the Status LED is visible Locate it such that there’s ample room to connect the wiring harness to the battery posts. Make sure there’s enough clearance to re-install any side panels you may have removed.
INSTALLATION For those motorcycles, where the battery is under the seat, and inside an enclosure, you may have to mount it along the rails or in a suitable location nearby. After you have chosen an appropriate location, clean it thoroughly. Then, peel the backing off the mounting tape and affix the chargeX unit in place. Apply pressure to hold it in place. Allow 24 hours for the bond to fully cure. The 110V AC cord is 6 ft long, so you can route it for an easy access.
LED STATUS INDICATOR chargeX onboard charger LED indicator shows operating status as follows: Continuous flashing – Fast for higher rate and slow for lower rate of charge. It’s fully automatic. Solid ON – Charging is completed and optimal battery voltage is maintained. It will restart as needed to keep optimal voltage. 2-Flashes – indicates a fault in the output connection. It may be a loose wire or a short-circuited connection. The charging function STOPS until the fault is corrected.
chargeX -mini CXM-20 This wall-mount charger utilizes switch-mode technology for compact size. It has multi-step charging cycles to safely charge any 12V battery to its peak condition. Short-circuit protected output Reverse polarity protection Spark-free battery connections Size: 3.75” (95.6mm) x 1.75” (44.4mm) x 1.
CHARGING CYCLES Standby Mode Constant Current Mode Constant Voltage Mode Floating Charge Mode Battery not connected Fast Charge Cycle Equalization Cycle Voltage Maintenance IOUT (MAX) 0 Amp 1.1 Amp 0.2 Amp S 0.05Amp VOUT (NOM) 0 Volts 14.7 Volts 14.1 Volts 13.8 Volts Accessories included with each chargeXmini Eyelet Connector Mount the Red ring connector on the positive post, and the Black ring connector to the negative post of the battery. The polarized plug can be easily hooked-up for charging.
FAQs: Q: I have installed the chargeX on my bike but the location is such that I cannot see the status LED. Can I extend the wires for the battery connection and relocate the chargeX? A: That is one option. An extended length (4ft) harness is available. Q: My chargeX has been charging the battery (LED is flashing slowly) for the past 4 or 5 hours. Is there something wrong? Should I unplug it? A: chargeX has built-in multiple charging programs stored in its memory.
Q: I have noticed that the 3-flash GFIC warning is indicated by the chargeX every once in a while, even though my garage outlet is protected and does not trip. A: The GFIC fault detection of chargeX is quite sensitive and quick acting. It will detect a short voltage drop, a brownout or a voltage spike well before typical mechanical wall outlet. Sometimes an inductive load of a garage door opener can also cause it. Try using a different outlet or check the polarity of the wall plug.
