location, Mounting & Safety
The charger is required to be installed in
a safe, well ventilated and dry location.
Please see the details given under "Impor-
tant Safety Instructions" on page 3.
With the help of 4 screws, mount the
charger on a vertical bulkhead with the
output terminal side facing down.
output connectors
A terminal block with tubular, screw down
type of terminals is used for output con-
nection. The diameter of the tubular holes
is as follows :

0.14 inches
SEC-2415UL / SEC-1230UL 0.19 inches
wires for Battery connection
To avoid polarity errors and possible
damage, never use wires of only one
color. Use red insulated wire(s) for Posi-
tive connection(s) and black for Negative
connection(s)
Recommended DC wire sizes are given
below. The length in feet is the length of
the pair of the Positive and Negative DC
wires from the charger to the battery /
other DC load:

loads.
cHARgeR oPeRAtion
Preparing the charger for operation:
Selecting Ac input voltage
The charger is pre-set to operate from
input AC voltage of 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
To operate the charger from AC input
voltage of 230 VAC, 50 Hz, change the
internal setting as follows:
1. Remove the 4 screws on the ammeter
side of the top cover
2. Gently slide the top cover out by 2 to
3 inches. (cAUtion! the top cover
will be restrained from fully sliding
out by the wires connecting the am-
meter, leD and the fan)
3. Locate the jumper wire with a quick
female disconnect. In the pre-set
condition, it is connected to the male
vertical pin marked "115 V". Pull this
female disconnect upwards to dis-
connect from the "115 V" position.
Connect this to the male vertical pin
marked "230 V"
4. Replace the fuse with the fuse recom-
mended for 230 VAC operation (See
fuse rating at page 17)
5. Replace the AC plug of the power
cord with a suitable 3 pin grounded
