DC Output Connections
Select proper size for the DC wiring from the wire size from Table 1. If the distance between the charger
’s DC
output and the DC load exceeds 10 feet, use the Power Cabling Guide on Appendix B to minimize the voltage
drop across the wire distance. Connect DC output wires with the correct polarity connection as shown in Figure 3
below.

LMESpro Output/Temp Sensor Connections
CAUTION:
When connecting the DC cables to the battery, be certain the positive terminal of the charger
is connected to the positive battery terminal and the negative terminal is connected to the negative
battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the charger while it is in operation or just after de-energizing the charger as
the LMESpro heat-sink can become very hot during operation.
1.2.3
Remote Temperature Probe Connection
It is recommended to use temperature compensated charging with Lead-Acid & HCAPS, especially in environments
having a wide temperature range. La Marche supplies optional remote temperature probes (RTS) in two lengths
option 11W
–
24ft and option 11Y
–
100ft with crimp ferules already attached for connection to the charger, and
a 3/8” dia ring
-terminal for connection to the battery.
•
Connect the crimp ferrule end of the RTS to the LMESpro. See polarity markings (++++ & - - - -)
•
Connect the ring-terminal to the negative terminal of the Battery/HCAP.
