General Information

ACAUTIONI

A.Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are vis- ~Ible after making connections.

6.Push all wires and wire nuts into junction box.

7.Assemble junction box cover to junction box

8.Reconnect battery cables to battery posts. Connect the posi- tive cable first to the battery post indicated by (+) or POS.

BATTERY WARMERS (OPTIONAL)

When used in conjunction with a coolant (block) heater, battery warmers (Figure 1.13) aid in ensuring that the engine will reach maximum cranking speed.

1, Disconnect battery cables to prevent accidental start-up. Disconnect the negative battery cable first from the battery post indicated by (-) or NEG,

2.Make sure power is off from the appropriate power source,

3, To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place awire nut over them, then twist clockwise until tight. For all these connections, use the wire nuts provided.

4, Connect the ground wire from 120V power source to the ground wire from battery heater.

5, Using wire nuts provided connect the white wire and black wire from the battery heater as follows:

•The white (common) power wire from 120V power source to 1st wire from the battery heater,

•The wire from load side of thermostat to 2nd wire from the battery heater,

BATTERY CHARGERS

There are two types of battery chargers available: 2,5-amp and 10-amp (nine-amp UL) rated, The 2,5-amp charger is 12 VDC only. The 1Q-amp is available as 12 VDC or 24 VDC, as appropri- ate for the engine'sDC system voltage, These chargers are UL component recognized for use on these generator sets.

Both of the chargers are fully automatic float types and are fully fuse protected (input and output), They have automatic current limiting to reduce risk of overcharging, and have automatic main- tenance of charge voltage. Therefore, they can be connected to the batteries continuously,

The chargers require the connection of a battery in order to turn on, The battery provides boost voltage for the charger, so a com- pletely dead battery will not allow the charger to operate. The boost required is approximately nine to 11 volts for a 12 VDC system and 18 to 22 volts for a 24 VDC system, If the battery is below the boost voltage, it needs to be replaced.

They are not water resistant, so they must be installed within arain resistant enclosure.
