Installation Continued

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

As you prepare to attach the positive (red) and negative (yellow or black wires) to the batteries there will be a brief low power spark that is generated as you make the connection. This is due to the high frequency capacitors taking a charger.

Make sure the black (or yellow) wires are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the red wires are connected to the positive side of the battery.

7.Run your cables free from sharp objects and hold each of them in place with cable ties. Coil excess cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the cables as there are in-line fuses located 4 inches from the end of each positive(red) cable. These fuses are in place to protect the charger and output cables in the event of a short or reverse polarity..

8.Connect the DC output cables as illustrated. Make sure the negative (black or yellow) wires are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the positive (red) wires are connected to the positive side of the battery.

9.Make sure all DC connections are tight and correct.

10.Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 21 inches from the charger, batteries and fuel fill lines.

11.Connect a heavy duty extension cord to the charger first. After connecting the extension cord to the charger proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby RCD-protected (ground fault circuit interrupt) outlet. Always remove the extension cord from the AC outlet first when charging is completed, followed by unplugging the charger.

You are now connected and charging your batteries. View the LED indicators. Assuming your batteries are discharged you should observe both the green “Power On” LED and the red “Charging” LED on, indicating charging mode is in process.
