[. . . ] 11796 TEL: in NY 631-567-0314 TOLL FREE: 800-346-0857 FAX: 631-567-5826 INTRODUCTION The AUTO CHARGE 2000 is a compact, completely automatic, dual channel battery charger designed for vehicles with two batteries. The charger is ruggedized to withstand the shock and vibration encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. The Auto Charge 2000 Pump Plus operates an 091-9 air compressor. [. . . ] Either battery can draw the total 15 amperes. When charging unequally charged batteries, the lower charged battery receives a higher charge rate. When the batteries are equal, the current is shared equally until they are fully charged at which time the current goes to zero. Battery Saver & Indicator A 3 ampere BATTERY SAVER is built into the charger. When connected as shown in the installation wiring diagram, loads on battery #1 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 3 amperes. WHEN A BATTERY SAVER OVERLOAD OCCURS: a. Remove the loads for approximately two minutes b. Reapply the load to the BATTERY SAVER No fuses are required or provided as the BATTERY SAVER contains an electronic overload interrupter. Remote Dual Battery Charge Condition Indicator This remote indicator shows the charge condition of each battery in 10 levels from "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 4 amperes across it's 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 battery #1 when the A. C. power is "OFF".
