General Safety
The charger may only be used for the specified battery types.
This battery charger is supplied with pre-set charging curves
that are adapted for the battery types listed in figure 1.
Always contact the battery manufacturer to verify that the
charging curve is appropriate.
Hydrogen gas is generated when charging batteries, which
can cause an explosion.
During and immediately after charging, batteries may not be
placed in the vicinity of sparks or open flame.
Do not use the battery charger if it is damaged. Do not
touch damaged components. Turn off the input AC voltage
immediately and contact service personnel.
The battery charger has high voltage inside the charger case
that can cause personal injury or death. The metal casing
may only be opened by authorized service personnel.
Disconnect the battery and input AC power before carrying
out maintenance or cleaning the battery charger.
The Battery charger must be connected to an earth
grounded AC input source.
Batteries should only be charged in a well ventilated area.

Installation
Initial Installation
The AC input source to which the charger is to be connected
must be capable of supplying the current specified on the
charger nameplate.
To properly determine the required AC input service conductor
and branch circuit protection refer to all National and Local
electrical codes. Refer to National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
sections 310-16, 240-3, 215-3, 210-20, 384-16, 110-14, 210-19,
215-2, 230-42 and table 310-16 for US National Electric Code
conductor sizing and overcurrent protection device
requirements and information. In some applications other
National Electric Code requirements may apply.
Please note that “knockouts” for AC power entry are provided
in the bottom of the unit as shown below. Due to the painted
panel the outline of the knockouts may be hard to see in low
light conditions.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE THIS
CHARGER ONLY ON CIRCUITS WITH BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
(CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL
ELECTRIC CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND ALL LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
Access 8/XX & Access 10/XX
Access 16/XX & Access 20/XX

On units with model numbers Access 8/XX and Access 10/XX
input connections are made to the fuse block and ground stud
above the power entry knockouts. On units with Model
numbers Access 16/XX and 20/XX input connections are made
to the terminal block and ground stud above the power entry
knockout.
With many different local codes that modify the requirements,
it can be difficult to determine the proper conductor and
overcurrent protection device requirements. Always follow the
guidance of your local Electrical Inspector.
Do not operate this charger if it has been dropped or is visibly
damaged in any manner; return to manufacturer for service.
The battery charger should be installed indoors in a low
humidity, non-condensing and low dust/airborne particle
environment.
If several battery chargers are to be installed next to each other,
they may not be located so that warm exhaust air from one
battery charger blows into the air intake of another battery
charger. This is accomplished by always allowing for at least 12
inches of space on both sides, bottom and the top around the
charger. This includes other chargers and/or equipment, walls
or other obstructions.
WARNING: SPARKS OR MOLTON METAL FALLING
FROM THE CHARGER CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
INSTALL OVER NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS
METAL OR CONCRETE.
KEEP THE CHARGING ARE CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL.

Install the battery charger so that gasses from charging battery
do not get sucked in by the battery charger fan.
The battery charger must be mounted vertically suspended on a
wall, post, struts or available shelf mount bracket. When
mounted on a wall the charger should be placed vertically to
provide the most efficient cooling. Mounting the charger other
than vertically will result in a “Charger Not Upright” fault
condition that can be corrected by moving it to an upright
position. This charger is not intended to be mounted on mobile
equipment.
Wall Mounting - It is not necessary to disassemble the charger
to mount it to a wall or other flush surface. A bracket for this
type of mounting is included with each charger. For flush
mounting on a flat wall, use the brief directions below.
Mount the bracket shown below securely to your wall. Total
weight could be up to 125 lbs per charger. Size mounting
hardware accordingly.
Once the charger is hanging from the bracket, mark the position
of the lower charger mounting holes on the wall.
Remove the charger and install anchors and/or fasteners on to
the wall, re-hang the charger and secure the lower charger
holes to the wall with appropriate fasteners .
For mounting on charger stands or battery racks, the available
stands can be used, or frequently customers use 2 sections “uni-
strut” rails mounted on the stand or rack to mount to the
mounting holes on the rear of the charger. Longer sections of
Bracket on wall

uni-strut can be used to mount several chargers side by
side. Always be sure to allow 12” between chargers.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK,
KEEP THE CHARGER DRY. DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN,
CONDENSATION OR STANDING WATER. STORE IN A CLEAN AND
DRY LOCATION.

Operation
Charger Control Panel
The charger control panel and display is used to configure the charger
to match the battery type, AH size, Voltage and application. Details
regarding configuration of the charger can be found in the
“Programming” section of this manual.
The charger can be set to charge several types, sizes and applications
of batteries using the control panel and LCD display. Be sure to
properly program the charger to meet your battery manufacturer’s
specifications before connecting the battery to the charger.
Connecting the Battery
1Check the wiring and connectors for visible signs of
damage.
2Connect the battery to the battery charger.
3The battery charger automatically starts charging a few
seconds after the battery is connected.
4The charging status is shown in the display user interface
and on the charger control panel display.
5A green battery symbol is lit when the battery is fully
charged. The battery charger then continuous with
maintenance charger (if included in selected charge
profile).
WARNING: IN THE EVENT OF DANGER, SWITCH OFF THE AC
INPUT POWER BY SHUTTING THE INPUT BRANCH CIRCUIT BREAKER
OFF, TURNING THE BRANCH CIRCUIT DISCONNECT TO THE OFF
POSITION OR UNPLUGGING THE CHARGER FROM THE WALL
SOCKET

Note: The green battery symbol might not show up immediately if a
fully charged battery is connected. The delay time could be lengthy,
depending on charger programming.
Disconnecting a battery
1Stop the battery charging process by pressing the
STOP button on the charger control panel.
2Disconnect the battery from the battery charger.
DANGER: EXPLOSIVE GASES ARE PRODUCED BY THE
