CHARGE RATE SELECTOR switch is a multi position

rotary switch. The available settings, for each charger are

shown in Figure 5.

TIMER switch allows the selection of any

charging time, up to 120 minutes. When the selected time

is up, the timer automatically shuts

AMMETER indicates the charging current being drawn

from the charger by the battery. See READING AN

AMMETER in this manual.

VOLTMETER the voltmeter will indicate

voltage whenever the charger is turned on, or when the

clamps are connected to a battery. If connected to a

battery, and the unit is turned on, it will read the combined

voltage of the battery and the charger. If there is no

reading when connected to a battery, check the

connections and/or the battery.

CHARGE VOLTAGE AND RATE SELECTION

( See Figure 6 and 7)

Set the RATE SELECTOR to the same voltage and charge

rate that is appropriate for the size and type of battery

being charged. Use the battery manufacturer's

instructions or see the guidelines below. If the battery

voltage is not clearly marked on the battery, refer to the

operator's manual for the vehicle/ equipment where the

battery is used / intended to be used. Do not begin

charging if the battery voltage cannot be determined.

The available settings are in Table 1.

Unless the information is supplied for the particular battery,

always charge small 12-volt batteries at no more than

2amps. Not all of these chargers are capable of charging at

2 amps or less. If your charger is one of those, do not

attempt to charge the small 12 volt batteries on that

charger. Charge only standard sized 6 and 12 volt

automobile batteries on those chargers.

NOTE:

The charger ammeter will not taper on 6 volt

settings. Use charging time equations or

charts only to determine the time needed to fully

charge the battery.

TIMER SWITCH SETTING (See Figure 6 and 7)

Set the timer for the length of charging time required to

bring the battery to full charge, as determined in

CHARGING TIME INSTRUCTIONS. When selecting times

less than 20 minutes, turn timer past the 20 - minute mark,

then back to the time desired. Setting the time to charge

starts the charging process. To prevent overcharging, do

not set the timer for more time than it will take to bring the

battery to full charge. If the timer is turned to the left , past

OFF, HOLD is selected. In this position, the charger will

remain ON inde

ly. This position should be used only

when charging at a low rate for extended periods. The

battery can be damaged when being charged for extended

periods, especially at higher amperages.

VOLTMETER/TEST METER TESTING

The VOLTMETER/TEST METER, available in some

models, allows additional testing to be performed. In normal

operation, without the TEST SWITCH pressed, the meter

reads from 0-20 volts dc (0 and 20 are not actually seen on

the meter face but are represented by the ends of the

scale), on the lower scale of the meter. Using this part of

the meter, during charging, the voltage should read:

for 6 volt batteries read 6.5 to 8.5 volts

for 12 volt batteries read 13.5 to 16.5 volts

3 Amps or less

6 Amps or less

25 Amps or less

45 Amps or less

60 Amps or less
