Transitioning the Charger to ON, Standby, or Disabled

There are two ways to turn ON the Truecharge2 Battery Charger:

•Connect the batteries to the charger (i.e., charger is on standby) then connect AC power at the source. If the batteries are not fully charged then charging begins immediately. If the batteries are fully charged then charging will go to either standby (two-stage) or float (three- stage).

Or,

•Press ON/STANDBY on the optional remote panel while batteries and AC power are both connected to the charger (from Standby).

The charger begins to charge the batteries from Standby.

There are two ways to put the Truecharge2 Battery Charger in Standby (see Warning below):

•Disconnect AC power at the source (i.e., only the batteries are connected) or

•Press ON/STANDBY on the optional remote panel while batteries and AC power are both connected to the charger (from ON).

The charger stops charging but continues to monitor the batteries.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

•Do not disassemble the battery charger. Internal capacitors remain charged for five minutes after all power is disconnected.

•Disconnect both AC and DC power from the battery charger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the battery charger. See note below.

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

There is only ONE way to safely turn the Truecharge2 Battery Charger off (Disable):

◆Disconnect the AC power at the source and disconnect all DC batteries.

This is the only state where the Truecharge2 Battery Charger is completely de-energized.

When the Truecharge2 Battery Charger is disabled, the optional remote panel is inactive.
