1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the
1622,1626, and 1627 Industrial Battery Chargers. Read this information in its entirety before using
your charger. For technical support, please contact the manufacturer or distributor of your vehicle or
machine, as their version of this charger may require unique operating instructions.
WARNING
Only use the charger with a charging prole that is appropriate to the specic battery type. Other
usage may cause personal injury and damage. Lead acid batteries may generate explosive hydrogen
gas during normal charging. Keep sparks, ames, and smoking materials away from batteries. Do not
operate charger in an enclosed area or an area with restricted ventilation. Never charge a frozen or
non-rechargeable battery. Observe all battery manufacturers’ precautions (e.g. maximum charge rates
and if cell caps should be removed while charging).
DANGER
There is risk of electric shock. Connect the charger power cord to an AC outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A grounded AC outlet is
required to reduce the risk of electric shock—do not use ground adapters or modify the plug. Do not
touch uninsulated portions of the output connector or uninsulated battery terminals. Disconnect the
AC supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery. Do not open or disassemble
the charger. Do not operate the charger if the AC supply cord or DC output cord is damaged or if the
charger has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or is damaged in any way. Refer all repair work to
the manufacturer, or qualied personnel. The charger is not intended for use by individuals (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities. Nor should individuals whor lack
experience and/or knowledge of electrical systems and battery charging use the charger, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the charger by a person responsible for

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• The charger has up to 25 selectable charging proles stored in its internal memory to charge
batteries. These proles are specic to each manufacturer and model of battery. Your equipment
supplier or charger distributor is responsible for ensuring the active charge prole matches the
battery pack charging requirements. Contact them with any questions about which prole to
select for each battery pack.
• The charger may become hot during charging. Use hand protection to safely handle the charger
during charging.
• To maintain safe operations, the unit automatically reduces its output power if the temperature
rises above set thresholds or if the AC input voltage is too low. The charger also reduces output
power if it detects the battery pack is damaged.
• If power is interrupted, and then returns, the charger starts and continues to operate without
hazard to the user, or damage to the batteries.
• Unplug the charger from both AC and DC sources when cleaning, moving or conducting any
maintenance or repair on the charger. No user- serviceable parts are inside. Do not remove the
cover due to the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not expose the charger to oil, dirt, mud or direct heavy water spray when cleaning the vehicle
or machine.
• If the detachable AC input power cord set or DC output cord is damaged, do not use the charger
until they are replaced with cord sets appropriate to your region and application.
• When mated with a sealed AC cord, the charger meets IP66 specications, making it dust-tight
and protected against powerful water jets. If a cord set with an unsealed connector is used, the
plug and connector must be periodically inspected to ensure the contacts are clean and dry.
- If this charger is provided with an AC cord set and the power plug does not match the power
outlet, contact the equipment manufacturer, distributor, or Curtis Instruments for the correct
AC cord set terminating with a 3-prong plug suitable for your region’s grounded power outlet.
- In North America (and other 120V AC regions), the AC cord must be a 3-conductor UL Listed/
CSA approved detachable cord set at least 1.8m in length (≥ 6 feet), minimum 16AWG and
rated SJT; terminated with 250V, 13A or greater connector.
- In Japan, the AC cord must be a 3-conductor PSE approved detachable AC cord set
terminated with 100V, 15A or greater connector.
- In 220-240 VAC regions, the AC cord must be a 3-conductor safety approved cord set, with
1.5mm² conductors(min.), rated appropriately for industrial use. The cord must be terminated
on one end with a grounding
type input plug appropriate
for use in the country of
destination and both plug and
connector should be rated
250V, 10A, or greater.
• Extension cords must be 3-wire
cord no longer than 30m (100’) at
10 AWG or 7.5m (25’) at 16 AWG,

3.0 CHARGING PROFILES
The charger has up to 25 selectable charging proles stored in its internal memory to charge batteries.
These proles are specic to each manufacturer and model of battery. Your equipment supplier or
charger distributor is responsible for ensuring the active charge prole matches the battery pack
charging requirements. Contact them with any questions about the default prole, the other proles on
the charger, and which prole to select for each battery pack.
Selecting A Charge Prole
1. Disconnect AC input from the charger, or from the wall outlet. Wait 30 seconds for the input relay to open.
2. While reconnecting AC input, press and hold the Select Charge Profile button. Hold the button
(approximately 10 seconds) through the light check function until the Error Indicator is on (in
amber) and the Battery Charging Indicator (in green) starts ashing.
3. Press and release the Select Charge Profile button to advance through the charge proles. The
selected charging prole will be displayed up to three times (e.g. “P-0-1-1” for Prole 11).*
* The process will time out and the prole will remain unchanged if there is 15 seconds of inactivity.
A prole number is allowed to display three times, or if AC power is cycled.
4. Once the desired charging prole is displayed, press and hold the Select Charge Profile button
for 10 seconds to conrm selection and exit Prole Selection Mode. When the charge prole is
conrmed, the Error Indicator and Battery Charging Indicator lights turn off, while the blue AC Power
Indicator remains illuminated. At this point, the button can be released.
5. Press the Select Charge Profile button to verify the desired prole has been selected.
In some circumstances, the charging prole output will be altered to maintain safe operations. The
unit automatically reduces its output power if the temperature rises above set thresholds, or if the
AC input voltage is too low. The charger also reduces output power if it detects the battery pack
is damaged. If power is interrupted, and then returns, the charger starts and continues to operate
without hazard to the user, or damage to the batteries.
