Frequently Asked Questions Continued
Q: What are the voltage requirements and how can I change the voltage from
120v to 240v?
A: The ProTech-4 Series battery charger is set to work at 120 Volts but can be
switched to accept 240 Volts.
Note: that ProTech-4 battery chargers less than 30 amps automatically adjust for
correct voltage. The switch is located on the AC side of the unit and is a slide
switch that indicates the voltage level either 120v or 240v. The charger will operate
from 90 to 270 Volt AC, 45 to 440 Hz single phase.
Q: What is the recommended absorption time?
A: The simple rule of thumb is: the larger the battery bank, the longer the absorption
time. We suggest the following
Single Group 24 or Group 27… 2 Hours
Two Groups 24, 27 or Single Group 31… 3 Hours
Single 4D or 8D… 4 Hours
Multiple 4 or 8Ds of Multiple 6 V… 4 Hours
General Safety Instructions
Before connecting your batteries or AC power, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the battery charger and batteries.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of injury, charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries
(lead acid, sealed lead acid, GEL cell and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat). Other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal injury. The ProTech-4 series battery charger is
factory set for lead acid (flooded) and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries. Check the
position of the battery type selector switch before installation.
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Professional Mariner, LLC may result
in a risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way.
Do not disassemble the charger except for replacement of fuse. Call the factory directly
when service or repair is required.
Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove 120 Volt or 240 Volt AC power from the
charger as well as 12, 24, 32, 36 Volt DC prior to any maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• Make connection in an open atmosphere free of explosive fumes.
• Make connection in a secure manner that will avoid contact with water.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON IT IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR
CHARGER YOU FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer, and of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery.
Review all cautionary markings and labels.
Personal Safety Precautions
Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when working near a lead acid battery.
Have plenty of soap and water nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin,
clothes or eyes.
Optional Battery Bank Status Monitor
See your local dealer or retailer for the ProMariner Remote Battery Bank Status Monitor.
The Remote Monitor is easy to install and connects directly to your boats batteries. Once
installed simply hold down the "Push-To-Test" button and observe the charge level indicator
for each battery. (Up to 3 batteries can be monitored). Note: AC power and the boats
engine must be off when using the Remote Battery Bank Status Monitor.
