Installation and Operating Instructions for the Following Battery Charging

Systems:

*Each charger cable assembly attached to one 12 Volt battery.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Introduction

The ProXtra is a revolutionary product specifically designed to enhance trolling

battery performance and extend the amount of battery power available to the

user between charge cycles accomplished with a conventional battery charger.

This system utilizes boat engine charging current to charge your trolling motor

batteries while the engine is running. Solid state electronics ensure that the main

starting battery is adequately charged before allowing current to flow to the

trolling motor batteries. The ProXtra is fully protected against short circuits and

reverse polarity and is not directly connected to the ignition system or engine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety and

operating instructions for the ProXtra 1, ProXtra 2, and ProXtra 3.

Use of attachments not recommended or sold by PCS may result in a risk of fire,

electrical shock, or personal injury.

Do not operate unit if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or been

otherwise damaged in any way; contact technical support at PCS (800.742.2740).

Do not disassemble unit; contact technical support when service or repair is

required (800.742.2740). Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock

or fire.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

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 prior to each use of the ProXtra unit you

read this manual and follow the instructions exactly.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those published by

the battery manufacturer, and those published by the manufacturer of any

equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review all cautionary

markings on these products and on the engine.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

The ProXtra is designed to be permanently installed in the boat specifically for

the purpose of supplying charging current to the trolling motor batteries while

operating the main boat engine. Other types and uses, including unauthorized

attachments, should be avoided due to possible damage and/or personal injury.

Do not attempt to operate the ProXtra in a battery configuration that utilizes

a series connection between the engine starting battery and the trolling

motor battery or batteries. Severe sparking and/or damage to the ProXtra

may occur and the warranty will be voided. Please contact technical

support for further information (800.742.2740).

Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your

aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,

clothing, eyes, or other surfaces.

Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while

working near battery.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10

minutes and seek medical attention promptly.

NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery, which

might cause a spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part, possibly

resulting in an explosion.

Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches

when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-

circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe

burn.

Use the ProXtra for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell,

and AGM) battery only. Do not use this system for charging dry-cell batteries

that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst,

causing personal injury and damage to property.

NEVER charge a frozen battery.

PRODUCT SUMMARY

General Operation

Use the following guidelines in this manual to install your PCS ProXtra system.

Assure that the area around your batteries is properly ventilated.

During normal operation the ProXtra system monitors the starting battery voltage

and will activate once the starting battery voltage rises above a predetermined

voltage. Once this point is reached, charging current from the boat motor

charging system will continue to flow to the additional batteries attached to the

ProXtra system. When the starting battery voltage drops below a predetermined

voltage, the ProXtra system is deactivated and returns to a standby state. Light

Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the ProXtra case indicate the status of the unit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do not make any electrical connections to the main engine battery or additional

batteries until the installation process has been completed.

The ProXtra may be mounted at any angle. For best results, place the ProXtra at

the desired location and mark the screw locations, using the mounting bracket as

a template.

Check for fit and appropriate thickness of the mounting area before drilling starter

holes. Use the four screws that have been provided to install the unit on a flat

surface as high above the water level as possible.

Locate the cable labeled starting battery and securely connect the ring terminal

of the black cable to the negative post of the starting battery. Locate the cabled

labeled trolling motor battery and securely connect them to the trolling motor

battery or batteries as shown. (Red wire to + terminal/Black wire to – terminal.)

Locate the purple wire at the end of the starting battery cable assembly. Using

the supplied quick connector, attach the purple wire to any 12 volt source on the

boat that is disabled when the boat is not in use. The purpose for this connection

is to disable the ProXtra circuitry during times that the battery may be charged by

other means (i.e., AC powered battery charger).

POST-INSTALLATION TESTING

After completing the total installation process for the ProXtra, it is possible to test

the unit for proper operation without having to operate the main engine.

1. Attach a battery charger designed for a 12 volt system to the starting

battery.

2. Turn on the boat electrical system (key switch on).

3. Turn the battery charger on and observe the indicator lights on the ProXtra.

When the voltage of the starting battery reaches a predetermined level,

both indicator lights on the unit should illuminate.

4. Turn the battery charger off and observe the indicator lights on the ProXtra.

As the battery voltage drops to a predetermined level, both indicator lights

should extinguish.

5. If you are unable to accomplish the previous steps for any reason, please

call PCS technical support (800.742.2740) and we will gladly assist you.

CAUTION! Do not attempt to operate the ProXtra in a battery configuration that

utilizes a series connection between the engine starting battery and the trolling

motor battery or batteries. Severe sparking and/or damage to the ProXtra may

occur and the warranty will be voided. Please contact technical support for

further information (800.742.2740).

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: No indicator lights are illuminated on the ProXtra during engine

operation.

SOLUTION SEQUENCE:

•Check battery connections for tightness and proper polarity.

•Check in line fuses on Red and Black wires on starting battery cable.

•Call PCS technical support at 800.742.2740.

PROBLEM: Charging Trolling Batteries indicator does not illuminate during

engine operation.

SOLUTION SEQUENCE:

(Note: In order for the ProXtra circuitry to operate, the starting battery voltage

must exceed 13.8 volts. On some small outboard motors, the starting battery

voltage may not reach this point.)

•Check purple wire from starting battery cable assembly. This wire must

be attached to a 12 volt source.

•Check battery connections on all batteries for tightness and proper polarity.

•Call PCS technical support at 800.742.2740.
