Y. 11796 TEL: in NY 631-567-0314 TOLL FREE: 800-346-0857 FAX: 631-567-5826 INTRODUCTION The Auto Charge D2 is a triple battery system automatic battery charger designed specifically for vehicles with a DDEC control and a separate engine battery. The engine battery on DDEC equipped vehicles presents a unique problem. [. . . ] There is no trickle charge and therefore no danger of overcharging and water boil-off. Automatic Current Limiting The charger contains automatic current limiting for each output. The vehicle output is limited at 25 amperes while the engine output is limited at 3 amperes. This provides the higher current to the larger batteries where it is needed. BATTERY SAVER & INDICATOR A 5 ampere BATTERY SAVER is built into the charger. When connected as shown in the installation wiring diagram, loads on the vehicle battery such as radios and rechargeable hand lights are automatically switched to the BATTERY SAVER when power is applied to the charger. The BATTERY SAVER allows more efficient charging by removing these loads. A BATTERY SAVER overload indicator alerts the operator that the BATTERY SAVER load has exceeded 5 amperes. WHEN A BATTERY SAVER OVERLOAD OCCURS THE BATTERY SAVER OUTPUT IS INTERRUPTED BY AN AUTOMATIC THERMAL CIRCUIT BREAKER. THIS CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL CONTINUALLY CYCLE THE OUTPUT ìONî AND ìOFFî UNTIL THE OVERLOAD IS REMOVED. WHENEVER THE BATTERY SAVER OUTPUT IS ìOFFî THE OVERLOAD INDICATOR IS LIT. Remote Triple Battery Charge Condition Indicator This remote indicator shows the charge condition of each battery in 10 levels for "LOW CHARGE" to "FULLY CHARGED". This device indicates a defective battery when a bar graph does not rise to the "FULLY CHARGED" level after an extended period of charging. NOTE: If a battery is being charged with an external load of 1. 5 to 5 amperes across its terminals, the bar graph may move down 1 or 2 levels. This does not indicate a defective battery. To avoid this, connect all external loads to the BATTERY SAVER terminals Loads connected to the BATTERY SAVER will be powered either from the BATTERY SAVER power supply when the A. C. power is "ON" or they will be connected to the vehicle battery when the A. C. power is "OFF". INDICATOR INSTALLATION 1.
