INPUT :120 volts, 50/60 Hz, 2.5 amp max 3 YEAR WARRANTY KUSSMAUL ELECTRONICS CO., INC. 170 CHERRY AVE., WEST SAYVILLE, N.Y. 11796 TEL: in NY 631-567-0314 TOLL FREE: 800-346-0857 FAX: 631-567-5826 INTRODUCTION The Auto Charge 11PIM Battery Charger is a compact completely automatic charger designed for installation on vehicles with two batteries. An internal charge divider charges both batteries simultaneously while maintaining battery isolation. Remote sensing permits long lines between the charger and the batteries by compensating for the voltage drop in the charging wires. An ammeter provides continuous indication of the charger output. Construction of the Auto Charge 11PIM is extremely rugged to withstand the shock and vibration normally encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. The unit operates completely automatically and stops charging the batteries when they are fully charged. There is no trickle charge and therefore no danger of overcharging and water boil-off. Any parasitic loads on the battery such as radio, lights, etc., are automatically supplied with current by the charger. Any 120 volt loads when plugged into the GFI on the Auto-Charge 11PIM will be protected from ground faults. A separate lever operated circuit breaker protects the GFI connected loads. This circuit breaker may also be use to disconnect these loads from the line. The fuse on the Auto-Charge 11PIM protects the charger only. INSTALLATION The Auto Charge 11PIM Automatic Battery Charger should be installed in an area with adequate ventilation. A power cord is supplied for connection to 120 volts 50/60 Hz. 1. Mount the charger using the four holes provided for this. 2. Connect the wiring from the batteries to the Output Terminal Strip. Spade lugs that have been securely crimped, or soldered, should be used. 3. Double check all wiring before proceeding. 4. Wire the A.C. power line cord to 120 volts. 5. Pilot light will light to show that the charger has power.
