I) GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Phase Three Series Battery Charger represents a new phase
in charger design and performance, employing “smart” switching
circuitry which puts batteries through the optimum three-step
charge process, adapts for gel-cell or lead-acid batteries, features
precise voltage compensation for varying battery temperature, is
rated for continuous duty and is housed in a rugged stainless steel
and aluminum case.
Following is a brief listing of some of the more important features/
options of your Phase Three Charger. Each is fully detailed later in
this manual:
• Three step “smart” charging: bulk, absorption, float
• Gel cell/lead-acid switch selects optimum charge/float voltages
based on battery type
• Multiple output banks charge independently based on demand
• “Universal” input of 90-264V A.C., 50-60 Hz input with no setting
of selector switch required—can be used anywhere in the world
• Current limiting prevents damage from overload
• Cooling fan allows continuous operation at full-rated output
• High charge voltage time-out circuit prevents overcharge
during continuous high amperage demand
• Optional temperature compensation sensor (model TCS-12/24)
fine tunes output voltage based on battery temperature
• Optional remote panel (model RP) allows remote monitoring of
charger phase status and manual re-initialization of three stage
charge cycle.
• Optional equalization circuit connection.
• Use as a power supply without in-line battery; allows continued
use of D.C . powered electronics (when A.C. is available) in the
event that batteries must be taken off-line or removed.
• Built to last – rugged stainless steel and aluminum powder
coated case with marinized internal circuitry; drip sheild
provided.
• Carries CE mark
In addition, your Phase Three Charger carries a full two year
warranty against defects in materials or workmanship from the
date of purchase. Careful attention to these instructions should help
you to enjoy years of trouble-free service.

II) IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for the Phase Three Battery
Charger.
2. Before using this battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on (1) the battery charger (2) the battery, and
(3) any product powered by the battery.
3. CAUTION — To reduce the risk of injury, charge only 6 cell
(PT 80) or 12 cell (PT-24-45U & PT-24-95U) lead-acid rechargeable
batteries (flooded, AGM, gel or sealed). Other types of batteries
may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or spray.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by NEWMAR
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
6. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord (if
plugged into an A.C. outlet), pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting the charger.
7. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used. Use of an improper cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
9. Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug;
replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged; take it to a qualified
serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is necessary. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock and fire.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the charger from
A.C. source before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1. WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF
UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING
YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
2. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions
and those published by the battery manufacturer and by the
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of
the battery. Review all cautionary markings on these products.
