LINEAR II BATTERY CHARGERS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
PLEASE, READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT
INTRODUCTION:
The Linear II Battery Chargers are fully automatic. The input and output of the charger is
microprocessor controlled. The output is current limited for the protection of your equipment.
The following input/output specifications are subject to change due to design improvements:
OPERATION:
Always connect the battery charger to the battery prior to connecting to the
A/C source.
1) When the charger is plugged into an AC source, either 115, 208 or 220 volts 60 or 50 Hz, the
microprocessor will turn the charger on, after a 5 to 8 second diagnostic delay the green LED
will illuminate. This delay eliminates any output spike from the charger on the initiation of
charge.
The Green LED flashes rapidly while charging. It stops flashing when charge is completed
and stays on as a solid green light.
2) When the battery voltage reaches the 80% CHARGED level a the Yellow LED light will
illuminate.
3) The microprocessor continuously monitors the battery voltage and automatically adjusts for
the optimal finishing charge.
4) If the Red CHECK BATTERY light illuminates, this indicates a problem with the battery.
Possible causes: A. The battery has not reached the end of the first stage of the operation
within 16 hours. Check the battery for proper connections, possible battery internal failure.
B.The battery A/H capacity is too large for the charger’s output rating.
Actions to be taken:
Disconnect the charger from the A/C and wait a moment, reconnect the A/C to the charger. If
the charger begins charging again this may indicate that the A/H rating of the batteries
exceeds the charger’s rated output.
5) If the battery-operated vehicle is in storage for extended periods and the charger is connected
to a reliable AC source, the charger will reinitiate the charge cycle when the battery voltage
drops below a predetermined level as specified via programming.
6) When disconnecting the battery charger always disconnect the A/C before
disconnecting the battery.

Inspection and Initial Checks

Explosive Gas Hazards

Battery Handling Precautions

Contact with Battery Acid

Wear protective gear and use water/soap for skin/eye contact with electrolytic acid.

Metal Objects and Short Circuits

Remove metal items to prevent short circuits and burns from battery current.

Fire and Spark Prevention

Avoid smoking or sparks near batteries to prevent explosion risk.

First Aid Measures

Ventilation Requirements

AC Power Connection and Grounding

Proper Outlet Connection

Connect to a properly installed and grounded outlet according to local codes.

AC Cord and Plug Safety

Never alter the AC cord or plug; use a qualified electrician for outlet issues.

Charger Installation

Optimal Charger Placement

Install the charger in a well-ventilated area to ensure free airflow.

Battery Lead Polarity Connection

Connect positive (red) lead to positive post and negative (black) lead to negative post.

DC Lead Connection Safety

Connect DC leads before AC power and do not disconnect them during charging.
