Typical Applications Incorporated of the Battery Equalizer, Battery A will supply the extra current to the load. The Battery Equalizer will then replenish the energy to Battery A after the surge has passed. The VoltMaster Battery Equalizer is a completely automatic device that requires no human intervention when installed according to the recommended procedures. Family 1 Equalizers and some Family 2 Equalizers have a manually resetable circuit breaker.

" # $ $ % & Installation Incorporated Installation Instructions When connecting wires or cables to the available post (+24, GND, +12) when installing Vanner Equalizer Models 60-60, 60-80, 60-100, do not exceed the specified torque of 120 in-lbs. This information is printed on the Product Label just above the connection post. Torque values higher than specified may damage the product, reducing performance or creating hazardous conditions. Products damaged by improper torque may not be covered by warranty.

, - . . / 0 Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated B), and less than 0.05 VDC between the Equalizer'sGND terminal and the battery ground terminal (Battery A negative terminal that is connected to chassis ground). In most installations, the Battery Equalizer's terminals are wired directly to the battery terminals to prevent voltage loss that could occur in switch contacts, connections, and long wire runs.
1 2 3 3 4 5 Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated Test Procedure for Family 1 Battery Equalizers Models 60-10B, 60-20A, 60-50A CAUTION To avoid Reverse Polarity Damage to Family 1 and Family 2 Equalizers when servicing the electrical system or when performing any work which involves making battery connections always: 1. Remove Equalizer Ground terminal first. 2. Replace Equalizer Ground terminal last. Family 1 Battery Equalizer Test Procedure: 1.
6 7 8 8 9 : Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated A) No, the Battery Equalizer electronically limits the output current to a value less than the amount required to trip the circuit breaker. (Extreme conditions, such as 28 VDC input with 8 VDC output at very high ambient temperatures, may cause the circuit breaker to trip.
; < = = > ? Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated Test Procedure for Family 2 Battery Equalizers 24V 12V GND Models 60-100C, 60-100D and 60-100E General: Family 2 Equalizers were designed to be more energy conservative during low power requirements compared to Family 1 models. This along with unique protection circuitry require Family 2 models to be tested differently than Family 1, or Family 3, 4 and 5 models.
@ A B B C D Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated 12. If the voltage drops below the calculated value from Step 9 and the clamp-on ammeter has not jumper from approximately 0 to more than 3 amps of current wait for an additional 30 seconds. 13. If the equalizer does not turn ON after 30 seconds the unit is defective and should be sent in for repair.
E F G G H I 5. Subtract Battery A voltage from Battery B voltage and compare readings. Voltage Comparison a. b. c. d. e. Testing and Trouble Shooting Incorporated Battery A is lower than Battery B but within 0.05 volt. Battery A is lower than Battery B by 0.05 to 0.10 volts. Battery A is lower than Battery B by more than 0.10 volts Battery A is lower than Battery B by more than 0.
