REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE

Before proceeding to the next step, carefully check the wiring polarity. Do not reverse the connections. See note below.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

NOTE: Make sure the positive terminals of the Truecharge2 Battery Charger will be connected to the correct terminals of the battery (fuses or breakers) and from there to the positive terminals of the battery. Make sure the negative terminal of the Truecharge2 Battery Charger will be connected to the battery negative terminal (or DC negative bus).

8.Connect the negative cable to the negative DC terminal on the charger. See Figure 4, “Configuration for Normal Loads” on page 8.

For one battery or bank

◆Connect the negative cable from the negative terminal on the battery to the negative DC terminal on the Truecharge2 Battery Charger.

Use a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut (five of each included in the installation kit) to secure the connection.

For more than one battery or bank

◆Connect the negative cable from the negative terminal on the negative ground bar or bus to the negative DC terminal on the Truecharge2 Battery Charger.

Use a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut (five of each included in the installation kit) to secure the connection.

9.Tighten the nuts to 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure. Do not over-tighten as this may result in damage to the charger.

10.Connect each positive cable to the correct positive DC terminal on the Truecharge2 Battery Charger.

Use a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut (five of each included in the installation kit) to secure the connection.

11.Tighten the nuts to 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure.

12.Connect the free end of each positive cable assembly to the correct positive terminal of the battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer.
