Charging Cable Connectors 
 
If connectors are already attached to charging cables, 
make sure that they are attached so that positive 
charger polarity will connect to positive battery terminal. 
 
If connectors must be attached to charging cables, 
follow instructions supplied with connectors.    
 
 CAUTION:  Make sure connectors are 
 securely attached to cables (good  
 solder joint or well tightened set screws, 
 whichever is applicable).  Be certain 
 that positive charger cable will connect 
 to positive battery terminal.  If necessary, 
 trace cables into charger to determine 
 polarity.  The use of a DC voltmeter may 
 show polarity.  Improper connections 
 will ―blow‖ output fuse and may cause 
 other damage. 
 
 Note:  If this  charger is equipped with certain 
 optional features, the connector attaching 
 procedure may be modified.  Refer to  
 OPTIONS chapter of this manual for details. 
 
Pre-operation Checks 
 
1.  Inspect charger thoroughly for damage; loose  
 screws, nuts, or electrical connections. 
 
 
  WARNING:  ELECTRICAL SHOCK 
        HAZARD – Before inspecting or 
        cleaning inside cabinet, turn OFF 
        and remove fuses of disconnect 
        switch (supplying AC power to 
        charger) and disconnect battery. 
 
 
2.  Remove all special tags that  are tied to charger. 
 Keep tags with this manual for future reference. 
 Leave all precautionary and instruction labels in 
 place on charger.  Carefully read and follow  
 instructions on all tags and labels.  Make sure all 
 labels remain visible to anyone operating charger. 
 
3.  Make sure all charger cabinet panels are fastened 
 in place, to assure proper flow of ventilating air 
 through cabinet. 
 
 
 
 
Pre-Operation Changes To The Factory 
Control Settings 
 
Typically few changes are required to be made if the  
amp hour rating is sized to the battery and the voltage 
rating is equal to or greater than the battery.  However, 
in some applications, some changes to the  
programmable control settings may be desirable.  The 
most common changes are listed below: 
 
TIME  Factory Setting for Time  
  is Eastern Standard. 
  (see Programming the 
  EC2000). 
 
MAX BATTERY Factory Setting is 150° F  
TEMPERATURE            (see Programming the 
  EC2000). 
 
 NOTE:   It is advisable to check the day of the  
 week, date, month, and year for accuracy   
 
 
AUTO EQUALIZE  Factory setting is ON (see 
  Programming the EC2000). 
 
 AUTO EQUALIZE  Factory setting is by Cycle 
 TYPE  (see Programming the  
  EC2000). 
 
 AUTO EQUALIZE  Factory setting is 05 (see 
 COUNT  Programming the EC2000). 
 
 Other functions are available for programming the  
 EC2000 to meet your specific charging needs. 
 Programming these functions is described in the 
 Programming Your EC2000 chapter of this manual.
