Installing the Truecharge 2 Battery Charger

Step 5: Powering Up

Make one last check that all connections are correct and secure.

The Truecharge2 Battery Charger charger may now be powered up.

1.Close the DC disconnect switch or breaker.

EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE HAZARD

The final connection of the DC battery circuit will generate an arc. Ensure all areas of the system, including batteries and engine compartments, are well ventilated prior to making this connection.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

2.Switch the AC power on at the source breaker. It is normal to see a seven to ten second delay while the charger powers up. During this time, the indicator LEDs on the onboard display and the remote panel will illuminate for a second (power on test) before reporting charging and battery status information.

NOTE: Battery qualification may not be correctly performed if AC power is switched on first.

NOTE: The onboard display LEDs will also illuminate momentarily with DC power alone when DC power is applied and the minimum battery voltage (i.e., the connected batteries) is above 9 V.
