Battery Saver & Indicator
A 3 ampere BATTERY SAVER is built into the charger. When connected as
shown in the installation wiring diagram, loads on battery #1 such as radios and
rechargeable hand lights are automatically switched to the BATTERY SAVER
when power is applied to the charger. The BATTERY SAVER allows more efficient
charging by removing these loads. A BATTERY SAVER overload indicator alerts
the operator that the BATTERY SAVER load has exceeded 3 amperes.
WHEN A BATTERY SAVER OVERLOAD OCCURS:
a. Remove the loads for approximately two minutes
b. Reduce the load to 3 amperes or less
c. Reapply the load to the BATTERY SAVER
No fuses are required or provided as the BATTERY SAVER contains an electronic
overload interrupter.
Remote Dual Battery Charge Condition Indicator
This remote indicator shows the charge condition of each battery in 10 levels
from “LOW CHARGE” to “FULLY CHARGED”. This device indicates a defective
battery when a bar graph does not rise to the “FULLY CHARGED” level after an
extended period of charging.
NOTE: If a battery is being charged with an external load of 1.5 to 4 amperes
across it’s terminals, the bar graph may move down 1 or 2 levels. This
does not indicate a defective battery.
To avoid this, connect all external loads to the BATTERY SAVER
terminals.
Loads connected to the BATTERY SAVER will be powered either from
the BATTERY SAVER power supply when the A.C. power is “ON”, or
they will be connected to battery #1 when the A.C. power is “OFF”.
