Please read all warnings and safety guide before operating PCH-102.
Operator is responsible for any regulations required by special
applications. Please do not connect AC power before installation.
Warranty voids if instructions are not followed and may risk of electrical
shock, fire or injury.
Important Safety Guide
1. Do not place charger under rain, sunlight, dust condition, acidic or
corrosive gas environment.
2. To prevent overheating, do not block ventilation fan.
3. PCH-102 is equipped with automatic charging loop detection. Charger does
not need to be turned off or disconnected from the battery, it enters
maintenance mode after the battery has been fully charged.
4. Please use only factory parts and suggested accessories. Unauthorized parts
may risk of shock, fire, or injury.
5. Please do not disassemble PCH-101/102. Attempting to repair may risk of fire
and electrical shock.
6. PCH-101/102 contains residual power even after removed from the battery and
AC power.
7. Please make sure the AC ground wire from PCH-101/102 is properly installed.
Improper connection may risk of electrical shock, fire, or injury.
8. Please remove ac power and battery first and then perform maintenance.
9. If high pitch noise occurred, please turn off PCH-101/102 immediately.
10.Please do not use damaged or low grade wires.
11.Due to the nature of lead acid battery, hydrogen and oxygen gas are been
released during charging. Please operate charger in a well-ventilated area.
12.Please do not press and hold the forced output button for a long period of
time. Fuse should only be replaced with same specification.

1、Installation
1. To prevent sparks during power up, please make sure the power switch is in
off position before plug-in the ac power cord.
2. Connect positive and negative wires to the battery before switch the power
to “ON”position.
3. PCH-101/102 is equipped with short circuit, over load, and reverses polarity
protections.
4. When the battery is below minimum charging voltage, it ceases the output.
Pressing the forced output button, the PCH-101/102 starts charging
regardless of battery voltage. If error LED is ON, the overload or reverse
polarity is present, please check the wire connections.
5. Only supply AC input between 80~250 VAC 50-60Hz, exceeding the range might
cause error or damage the charger.
6. The minimum charging voltage of a 24V battery must be greater than 6V,
otherwise the PCH-101/102 detects as battery error and cease the output.
7. PCH-101/102 automatically switches between float and equalized mode
according to the battery condition.
8. To maintain the best performance of the charger, please keep the environment
between -25℃ to 35℃, cooler the better.
9. Please make sure the charger is installed in a well-ventilated area. To avoid
bad circulation and prolong the life of charger, keep at least 10CM between
wall and ventilation fan.
