CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. If the float voltage has been preset, proceed to step 2. Otherwise, refer to PRESETTING THE OUTPUT under INSTAL-
LATION and set the float voltage for the battery to be charged.
2. Connect the battery (see INSTALLATION) and install temperature compensation if desired (see above). Verify all bat-
tery and a-c line connections are tight.
3. Apply a-c source power to the unit. If the circuit breaker pops, the battery connections are reversed; disconnect a-c
power, reverse the battery connections, reapply a-c power and reset (push in) the circuit breaker. The front panel
ammeter indicates the charging current. NOTE: If the CHARGER ON indicator fails to light, verify that a-c source power
is present and that the AC INPUT fuses have not blown.
4. When the charging current as indicated on the front panel ammeter falls to near zero, the battery is fully charged.
