WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE
GASES.
A. WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID OR NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. STORAGE BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL
BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH
TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
B. To reduce the risk battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review
cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
7. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
A. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a
storage battery.
B. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery electrolyte contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
C. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near a storage
battery.
D. If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If electrolyte enters
eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
E. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
F. 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. Using insulated tools reduces this risk, but will not
eliminate it.
G. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a storage
battery. A storage battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.
H. Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID or LIQUID ELECTROLYTE NICKEL-CADMIUM
batteries only. Do not use this battery charger for charging dry cells, alkaline, lithium, nickel-metal-
hydride, or sealed nickel-cadmium batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause injuries to persons and damage to property.
I. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
ONLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL MAY INSTALL AND SERVICE THIS UNIT.
WARNING:
ONLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL MAY INSTALL AND
SERVICE THIS UNIT.
Charger Dimensions:
C. This unit is permanently connected to the AC circuit and to the battery. An external disconnect device with a minimum
of 0.12”(3 mm) pole separation must be located in the AC input to the charger.
Do not energize the AC supply circuit until ALL wiring is connected, internal controls are properly set, and the cover
is secured. Always shut the AC supply circuit off before installing or removing any wiring or opening the cover for any
reason.
Always observe proper polarity of the DC output leads.
Always connect the output leads in this order: ungrounded charger output first, then ungrounded battery terminal, then
grounded charger output, and grounded battery terminal last. If the battery must be disconnected for service, remove
the output wiring in the reverse of the order given above.
D. Be sure battery terminals are clean and properly tightened. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with
eyes.
E. Add distilled water to each cell until the electrolyte reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps
purge excess gas from the cells. Do not over fill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s
recharging instructions.
F. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
The recommended charge current range must include the rated output current of this charger, which is 10 amperes.
Set the float voltage jumper to the battery manufacturer’s recommended float charge voltage. Incorrect charge
voltage will accelerate generation of explosive gases, increasing the risk of fire or explosion.
G. Enable the automatic boost charge mode (equalizing charge) only if recommended by the battery manufacturer
H. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the engine or battery owner’s manual and make sure that the
12V/24V select jumper is set to the correct voltage.

2. CHARGER LOCATION
Do not set a battery or any other object on top of the charger. This will obstruct the ventilation openings and cause
excessive heating. Ensure the charger is protected from blowing or dripping water.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This battery charger should be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding
conductor (earthing conductor) should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal in the charger. This terminal is marked with the ground symbol. Connections to the battery charger should
comply with all local codes and ordinances.
4. NEUTRAL CONNECTION
The grounded circuit conductor (neutral) should be connected to the terminal marked “N” on input terminal block TB1.
5. WIRE RATINGS
A. All conductors should be rated for use at 90ºC/194°F or higher.
B. All input and output conductor sizes should be coordinated with the fault protection devices: 10A on AC input (14
AWG, 2.5 mm2 typical), 30A on DC output (10 AWG, 6.0 mm2 typical). 1 A on Alarm terminal block (20 AWG,
0.5 mm2 typical). AC input current is 6A at 120VAC and 3A at 208-240VAC.
C. Before installation, ensure adequate battery to charger wire gauge. Wire gauge that is too small may activate the
open battery detector and the charger will shut down. The maximum allowed resistance seen by the charger is
found in TABLE 1. These figures already include an allowance for charger variations (they are 80% of the typical
trip-point) and are for the complete circuit: total of battery leads, battery's internal resistance, and any external
equipment. The total resistance seen by the charger must not exceed the following values:
TABLE 1
12V 24V
Maximum Resistance 58m 116m
D. To determine the appropriate cable and length, please refer to the following table:
TABLE 2
Wire Size Resistance Maximum Charger to Recommended Charger to
per Foot Battery Distance (Ft.) Battery Distance (Ft.)
AWG mm2 mΩ/Ft. 12V 24V 12V 24V
10 6.0 1.00 25 50 10 19
8 10 0.63 40 79 15 30
6 16 0.40 63 126 24 48
The above lengths consider the resistance of the battery and cables only and do not take into account any additional inter-
connects. The above lengths are for operation at 25°C/77°F. For high temperature installations (40°C/104°F) reduce
lengths by 10%.
In the case of high resistance in the cables to the battery the charger Battery Fault LED may flash (approximately
once every 60 seconds). Cable runs exceeding the proper length for the cable gauge used most often cause this
problem. The appropriate solution is to change the cable gauge to properly correspond with the necessary cable
length (see TABLE 2). In some cases where the resistance is not too far above maximum, the charger may recover
after some time (approximately 10 minutes) and start charging the batteries. If it is not possible to decrease the
system resistance the Battery Fault feature can be disabled.
E. Refer to local electrical codes for additional requirements.
F. See Section 10 for Terminal Block wire ranges.
6. FUSE RATINGS
A. CAUTION: For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.
B. DC Output Fuse – Bussman Type BK/ATC-30, or Littelfuse 287030 [ATOF30], 30A, 32V, fast acting, blade type
automotive
C. AC Input Fuse – Bussman Type BK/AGC-10-R, 10A, 250VAC, fast acting, ferrule type cylindrical, ¼” X 1-¼”
7. MOUNTING LOCATION
A. See the safety instructions for important information concerning the charger location.
B. The charger should be installed in a sheltered area, protected from rain and snow.
C. The charger should not be located where temperatures are expected to be colder than -20ºC/-4°F, or hotter than
+40ºC/104°F for operation at rated output current.
WARNING:
NEVER CHARGE STORAGE BATTERIES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE
OR BELOW THE LIMITS SPECIFIED BY THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
D. Allow sufficient room for routing the fixed wiring to the charger. AC input enters the left side; DC output and
alarms exit on the right.
E. Leave clear space for ventilation all around the unit: at least 6 inches (15 cm) at the top and bottom; at least
2 inches (5 cm) on the sides.
F. Charger should be mounted on a flat vertical surface so that the chassis does not warp when tightened to the
wall.
G. The charger should be mounted vertically, with the input and output terminal blocks lowermost.
WARNING:
OTHER MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS INTERFERE WITH PROPER
VENTILATION AND MAY CAUSE THE CHARGER TO OVERHEAT.
H. Do not mount the charger over any heat generating equipment.
I. Minimize vibrations that the charger will be subjected to.
9. MOUNTING PROCEDURES
WARNING:

E. Set the Display Selector jumper to one of the 3 available positions on JP800 (see photograph previous page):
VOLTS – Place the short jumper in the “upper” position next to the word “VOLTS”. The 3-digit LED meter
display will show DC Volts only
AUTO – Place the short jumper in the center position next to the word “AUTO”. The 3-digit LED meter display
will automatically and continuously alternate between DC Amps and DC Volts. The display shows DC Amps for
approximately 6 seconds and DC Volts for approximately 3 seconds.
AMPS – Place the short jumper in the “lower” position next to the word “AMPS”. The 3-digit LED meter display
will show DC Amps only.
WARNING:
USE ONE JUMPER ONLY ON THE DISPLAY SELECTOR
JP800. USE ONLY THE “SHORT” JUMPER PROVIDED FOR
JP800, TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WHEN REPLACING THE
COVER (“TALL” JUMPERS ARE TO BE USED ONLY ON JP1).
F. The JUMP position allows initial charging of Nickel Cadmium batteries, or new lead acid batteries supplied from
the manufacturer dry and discharged, from a zero charge state. The JUMP feature can also be used when
recharging excessively discharged batteries already in service. To initially charge/commission zero charge
batteries, place a jumper (spare provided with charger) in the JUMP position on JP1. Operate the charger long
enough to retain more than 1.5V/cell for lead acid and 1.0V/cell for nickel cadmium batteries or until the charger
returns to FLOAT MODE (FLOAT MODE LED will be green). See Application Note 10 to finish fully
commissioning the batteries, as using the JUMP feature alone is not sufficient. Once the batteries are fully
charged, the jumper may be removed or left in the JUMP position permanently. The jumper may remain in the
JUMP position permanently to ensure that the charger is able to recharge very low or dead batteries. If battery
voltage is below 9V (12V system) or 18V (24V system) when AC power is restored and the JUMP feature is not
activated, the charger will go into Battery Fault (alarm state that disables charger). In this situation the charger
will not charge the batteries. If the JUMP feature is enabled when AC power is restored, the charger will begin
charging. Depending on the battery state of charge, the charger may go into Battery Fault and remain so for some
period of time (generally 12 – 24 hours) while the batteries are slowly charged. The Battery Fault LED will cycle
(approximately once every minute) during this time. Once Battery Fault stops cycling, the charger will return to
FLOAT or BOOST MODE as normally demanded.
WARNING:
USE THE JUMP FEATURE ONLY WITH LIQUID ELECTROLYTE
NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES, OR WITH RECENTLY FILLED NEW
LEAD ACID BATTERIES SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER DRY
AND DISCHARGED. WHILE THE JUMP FEATURE MAY BE USED TO
CHARGE EXCESSIVELY DISCHARGED LEAD ACID BATTERIES THAT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN SERVICE, CONSULT THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF AND HOW THEY CAN SAFELY BE
RESTORED TO SERVICE.
WARNING:
LEAVING A JUMPER IN THE JUMP POSITION DISABLES THE BATTERY
VOLTAGE INTERLOCK, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF
ACCIDENTALLY OVERCHARGING 12V BATTERIES WITH 24V SETTINGS.
INCORRECT CHARGE VOLTAGE WILL ACCELERATE GENERATION OF
EXPLOSIVE GASES, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
G. Replace the cover by sliding it straight onto the charger. Ensure the cover’s locating tabs engage the slots
in the chassis. Secure the cover with its four mounting screws.

Temperature Compensation:
The battery charger is temperature compensated to match the negative temperature coefficient of the bat-
tery. Thus, the output voltage will increase slightly as the temperature decreases and decrease as tempera-
ture increases.
The output voltage is clamped at 0°C/32°F and +40°C/104°F to protect against extremely high or low
output voltage. See chart below.
