General Information
Location: The Power Badger unit must be in approximately the same temperature environment as the
engine heater it will be controlling. It is best to keep the unit out of direct sunlight, as the direct sunlight
can affect the measured temperature readings at the unit. If the vehicle being controlled is in the direct
sunlight, then just underneath the vehicle it is controlling is a good spot for the Badger. The Badger
calculates firing times and duration algorithms based upon temperature readings in its ambient
environment. If the observed temperature at the Power Badger is different than where the engine is
located, then the calculations will not be as intended and the result could be an engine that is not as ready
to start as intended.
Internal Battery: The Power Badger contains an internally mounted lithium battery (CR2032) that allows
the unit to save the user settings for a period of up to 6 months without external power. Once this battery
becomes depleted and user settings (such as the current time) are no longer retained, it will be necessary to
replace the internal battery.
Battery Change Instructions: The internal battery is a standard CR2032 button cell, readily available at
most battery retailers.
To replace the internal memory retention battery:
1). Unplug the Power Badger from 120v Power
2). Remove the 6 Phillips head screws that retain the back cover.
3). Remove the back cover
4). On the battery holder; carefully lift the top battery retaining tab slightly away from the battery
and
slide the battery out. Be careful not to bend the retaining tab too much or it will no longer retain the
battery upon re-installation.
5). Slide the new CR2032 battery under the tab and be sure it is seated in the battery holder properly. Be
sure the flat positive (
+) side of the battery (the side with the part# on it) is facing up and in good contact
with the top retaining tab.
6). Carefully replace the rear cover gasket into the enclosure groove, replace rear cover and re-attach cover
using the 6 Phillips head screws that were removed during step 2.
7). Follow instructions on page 2 for setting-up your user defined settings.
Internal Fuse: The Power Badger is equipped with an internal fuse to keep your unit safe in the event of
an overload condition. Common causes of an overload condition can be:
a). more than 1800 watts of load on the Badger
b). failed/electrically shorted engine heating element
c). internal water intrusion into the Badger’s enclosure
