Installation
•
AC chargers are supplied with 6' power cable and are terminated with a NEMA #5-15
plug for 115V AC power or with a Schuko Cee 7/4" plug for 230V AC power
•
DC chargers are supplied with 6’ power cable with unterminated flying leads
•
Find an area within reach of a power source
•
Charger can be mounted onto vertical or horizontal surfaces
•
Mounting location should have space for ventilation to ensure ambient temperature does
not exceed 50°c
•
Pick space such that the fan finger guard or vent holes and power cable entry are not
blocked
•
Pick a dry location
•
Place drill template, supplied with charger, over desired mounting location and secure
with tape
•
Select four #10 or four 5mm self taping or machine thread screws, not supplied with
charger

Charging Status
Route and attach AC power cable plug to appropriate AC power receptacle, or route and
attach DC power cable to an appropriate 12V DC or 24V DC power block.
Three models to support various input power application: 85-260V with NEMA plug,
85-260V with Schuko plug, and 12-24DC.
AC Models: Insert AC plug into the appropriate AC power receptacle. The AC input battery
charger models are built around a universal (85 - 260AC, 50 / 60Hz) input power supply.
Only the AC plug determines the input voltage to be 115VAC or 230VAC.
DC Models: Will work with 11-30VDC input.
Charger is not equipped with a power switch and is live when connected to power source.
Charger automatically turns ON when input power is applied to the charger.
On power-up, charger will activate charge cycle once to check for sleeping batteries regard-
less of voltage of battery indicated by green strobing LED bar. Battery status LED’s will be
solid green when battery charge cycle is complete.
•
Determine appropriate through hole drill bit for select screws
•
Drill four holes at indicated mounting locations, on the drill template and tap holes if
required
•
Install screws with screw head about 1/8
"
above mounting surfaces
•
Hang charger onto the four screws
•
Tighten screws to securely hold charger in place
Batteries should not be stored for longer than 12 months without charging, to maintain
“longterm reliability.”

*Battery Fault - Battery failed to accept charge. Power to charger
must be recycled to clear fault. This is a safety feature to prevent
multiple charge attempts that could possibly damage battery. Call
factory if battery will not accept charge.
