Quick Charge QPA6-127V/6A - Manual

QPA6-127V/6A, MULTI SERIES Battery Charger
INTRODUCTION:
The Series Multi charger is designed to charge 6 - 60 cells in series, at a 1 to 6 amp rate. The
charge rate is controlled by one infinitely adjustable control knob. Other important features of
this charger are:
CURRENT LIMITING: The maximum output of this charger is 6 amps. It cannot be exceeded
no matter where the rate control is set or how many batteries are on line. This eliminates fuse
and breaker blowing, and drifting from initial current set point.
AUTO RANGING: The charger electronically senses the voltage to which it is connected, and
adjusts itself from a LO to HI range. This eliminates the need for tap switches.
ANTI ARC: This feature provides a slight delay to the turn on circuit, minimizing arcing at the
battery terminals. It also eliminates power in the clamps, reducing shock hazard. At least three
volts are need to turn the charger on.
WARNING: Do not use this charger on motorcycle batteries, nicad batteries, AGM batteries,
or gel batteries. This charger has no voltage limit, charging these batteries could
cause an explosion resulting in bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THIS CHARGER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ ALL OF
THE INSTRUCTIONS.
INITIAL INSTALLATION:
Before making AC connections,
refer to the AC requirements labeled on the charger. If your
charger is not equipped with an AC plug (a 220 volt model) have a qualified electrician install
one.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use this charger only on circuits provided with
a maximum of 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse), in
accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local
codes and ordinances.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the charger is
equipped with a grounding type plug, it must be plugged into a nominal 115 volt, 60 Hertz
circuit. If the charger is supplied with no plug, have a qualified service person install one.
