Alternator Temperature: Using its ring terminal end, connect one of the
enclosed temperature sensors to your alternator case or negative stud.
Connect the two small wires on
the other end to the small terminals marked “alt temp”. Be careful not to damage
or alter the temperature sensor in any way! The system will then sense the
alternator temperature and will disengage the voltage amplifier if the alternator
temperature exceeds 100°C.
Voltage Sensing: The alternator-to-battery charger in its standard
configuration senses all voltages directly at the unit. However, in order to
compensate a possible voltage drop between the unit and your domestic battery,
you can run a simple 0.5mm² wire from the positive stud of your domestic battery
to the terminal marked “dom sense”.
Starter solenoid: Some alternators will not fire up without a voltage on their
B+ terminal. Because the alternator-to-battery charger contains a split charge
diode there will be no voltage feed on the B+ terminal which means that the
engine will start but the alternator may not work. If this is the case, then simply
connect a ignition feed ( from the key switch ) which becomes live when the
engine is started. this will feed 12 v through the unit and fire up the alt
Multiple Alternators: The alternator-to-battery charger can be used on more than
one alternator at the same time. Simply connect all alternator outputs (B+) to the
alternator input terminal on the unit. Make sure that your alternator-to-battery
charger is rated for the combined maximum output of the alternators.

It is important to ensure that your equipment works safely at a
voltage in the region of 15.4 volts (x2 for 24V systems) before selecting this
option, most equipment does but not all.
WARNING: This is a very dangerous setting if used without understanding what
it does. First of all, the batteries should be isolated from the boat’s system as the
voltage will be pushed up close to 16 volts which will damage some onboard
equipment. The reason why you would engage this charge mode is to blast the
sulfation off old or unused batteries to regenerate them. It will probably need to
be used on an old set of batteries which are not charging or holding a charge.
This program will help a lot to remove the sulfation from the plates. It is
unlikely this setting would need to be used when the batteries are still new. Do
not use this setting on sealed, gel or AGM batteries as they will gas and you will
be unable to replace the water loss! DO NOT USE ON LIFEPO4 BATTERIES
This is the setting which most American AGM battery manufacturers would
like. Ask your battery supplier for the correct setting as this is a new battery type
which is becoming more and more popular.
Sealed lead-acid batteries are simply lead-acid batteries which have no access to
top up the water level.
This program is, as per the recommendation of Exide, set at a voltage of 14.4
volts for about 12-24 hrs. The unit then drops to float voltage to maintain the
batteries.
This is what the European AGM suppliers such as Optima want for their
batteries. Again we would strongly recommend you contact your battery
supplier to confirm which charging option they require for their batteries. This
higher voltage appears to be for AGM batteries with a higher calcium content on
the plates.
9) Lithium batteries, this is a charge of 14.8 volts and a float of 13.8
Fuses : Because the instructions refer to 12V as well as 24V units between 100
and 200 amps and there are a lot of different fuse possibilities and combinations,
it is simply not possible for us to recommend any fuse values. This will be up to

or sealed lead-acid batteries, where you can unscrew the lid of the battery and
are able to top it up with water. The maximum boost voltage for this type of
batteries is 14.8V.
7)
Some modern batteries have had calcium added to their plates in order to reduce
water loss in the battery. The down side with this is that you need a high charge
voltage to get the batteries charged. This setting goes up as far as 15.1 volts on
boost and can have a detrimental effect on voltage-senstive equipment on the
boat/vehicle.

all you require is the copper. It does not matter if it is one cable or 10 cables
as long as the cross-section adds up. Performance of any product can be
improved by thicker cable, so if in doubt round up.

or some other trip has switched the boost aspect off and the unit is waiting to reset if possible). When this LED is on continuously this shows that the system
should be working at it’s maximum to achieve the full preset desired output voltage . It should remain on until the green float comes on and this shows the high
charge rate is complete.
15) : Yellow: Timer Activated: This comes on, when the voltage reaches about 13.9 - 14 volts ( x 2 for 24 v ) and depending on how long it took to achieve
this voltage from start up will dictate how long the timing cycle will remain on. The software will calculate the timing for the high charge rate. This will vary from 1

same time as the high charge rate between 1-6 hrs after activation. (a slow flash shows that the unit is on but on standby, ie the high alt temp trip or some other trip
has switched the boost aspect off and the unit is waiting to reset if possible)

Optional Remote Control
Place of Installation
Install the remote control panel in a dry place and in such away that you can
easily read the display and access the control buttons.
The installation location should be accessible easily.
The remote panel can be flush-mounted or top-mounted with or without frame:
Drill a hole for the wires into the back board. Slide the small left and right hand
covers (A) off the front panel which will expose the screws. Unscrew, remove the
frame (B) and drill the required holes into the back board. Connect all necessary
wires to the correct terminals at the back of the unit. Mount the unit using the
frame (B) and suitably long screws onto the back board.Reattach the covers (A)
onto the front panel.
Slide the small left and right hand covers (A) off the front panel which will
expose the screws. Unscrew and remove the frame (B). Use the inside of the
frame (B) as a template for the required cutout in the back board. Carefully cut
out the back board and connect all necessary wires to the correct terminals at the
back of the unit. Mount the unit using the four short screws supplied and reattach
the covers (A) onto the front panel.en.
Remove the small left and right hand covers (A) off the front panel and make a
cutout of 134mm x 90mm into the back board. Ideally, the back board should not
be thicker than 3mm; otherwise the front panel will stand back a little. Using the
actual Power Management Panel as a template, drill the required holes with
counterbores into the back board. Connect all necessary wires to the correct
terminals at the back of the unit. Push the unit from behind into the cutout and fix
it with the screws provided..
Avoid if possible laying the remote control cable next to any 230volts a/c cables
or next to high current d/c cables. This may cause interference and erroneous data
transmission. Remember, the remote control cable is purely a data transmission
working on very low voltages.
We strongly recomend not to shorten this cable. If you cut and reconnect the
cable this may void the warranty of your unit.
When all cables have been correctly laid and connected, reconnect the batteries
and the alternator.
The alternator-to-battery charger can be switched on and off manually by
pressing the on/off key ( assumming the alternato is working. Even when the
charger has been switched off, it will remain on standby mode. Also, the batteries
will still be charged, but without the boost on the domestic battery side.
After the unit has been switched on, the remote control will show the software
release of the charger and the remote control unit. In case you are experiencing a
problem with your alternator-to-battery charger, please take a note of these
numbers before you contact us.
When the engine is restarted, the alternator-to-battery charger will also restart,
even when the charger has been switched off manually before.
The alarm sound indicating any system faults can be muted using the alarm key.
The background light of the display panel can be switched on and off using the
light key.
Important: The panel must be installed in a dry place!

with the corresponding connector on the alternator-to-battery charger. Again,
mind the correct orientation of the plug! (clip on top).
