DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installed properly, your charger is set to provide your battery with what it
needs to out-live and out-perform any similar battery used in the same
application-conditions by a factor of two (2).
Read and thoroughly understand ALL SAFETY Instructions,
pages 3 - 7 including Preparing to Charge, DC Connection
Precautions, Unit Location and Qualifying Your Battery BEFORE
proceeding further.
1.
Attach output cord of charger to the Battery Clip(s) Assembly
(
BCAA) (supplied).
For Aviation applications, WE NO LONGER
ADVISE USE OF THE RTA ON ANY BATTERIES WHILE THE
BATTERY IS LOCATED WITHIN A CONFINED AREA, SUCH AS
IN AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
2.
BATTERY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM AIRCRAFT OR OPEN
TO FREE FLOWING AIR TO AVOID POSSIBLE BUILD-UP OF
HARMFUL HYDROGEN GAS IN THE EVENT BATTERY HAS A
SHORTED CELL(S) OR CHARGING SOURCE IS INCORRECT
OR MALFUNCTIONS. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR
BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS FIRST
AND FOREMOST ON CHARGING A BATTERY WITHIN THE
AIRCRAFT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
3.
NOTE: Because some batteries are not easily accessible, for
example located in the wing, tail, under the seat or in a battery
box, it is acceptable to attach the positive alligator clip to the
positive post of the battery relay or solenoid that is directly
connected to the positive terminal of the battery and attach the
negative alligator clip to a suitable aircraft ground connection.
See page 14 for information on CHARGING A BATTERY IN A
TIGHTLY CONFINED AREA.
4.
Plug the unit’s Power cord into a standard – grounded 120 Vac
electrical outlet. The Power On LED Indicator will light
GREEN.
Within 30 seconds, if it does not light
GREEN check the outlet to
be sure it is functioning. In addition, be sure if outlet is controlled
by a switch, no one will accidentally shut off the power to the outlet.
Check for correct polarity = (no ERROR
RED LED Indicator). If
ERROR Indicator is lit, reverse the charger’s output connections to
the battery.
