5.1.4 Pin Type Terminal Lugs for Wire Ends
If stranded wire is directly inserted in the tubular hole of the output terminal and the set
screw is tightened, the strands will spread and the set screw may pinch only a few strands.
This will result in loose connection, sparking, overheating and voltage drop. For firm
connection, crimp / solder Pin Type of Terminal been provided for wire size for up to 6 ft:
• For SEC-1215UL / 2415UL: 4 pcs of PTNB5-13 (AWG #10)

5.2 CHARGER OPERATION
5.2.1 Preparing the Charger for Operation: Selecting AC input voltage
The charger is pre-set to operate from input AC voltage of 120 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz.
To operate the charger from AC input voltage of 230 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, change the inter-
nal setting as follows:
1. Remove the 4 screws on the Ammeter side of the top cover
2. Gently slide the top cover out by 2 to 3 inches. (CAUTION! The top cover will be re-
strained from fully sliding out by the wires connecting the Ammeter, LED and the fan)
3. Locate the jumper wire with a "Quick Female Disconnect". In the pre-set condition,
it is connected to the male vertical pin marked "115 V". Pull this female disconnect
upwards to disconnect from the "115 V" position. Connect this to the male vertical
pin marked "230 V"
4. Replace the fuse with the fuse recommended for 230 VAC operation (See fuse rat-
ing at Section 7)
5. Replace the AC plug of the power cord with a suitable 3 pin grounded plug to
mate with the 230 VAC outlet. CAUTION: The new plug should have 3 poles i.e.
Line (L) , Neutral(N) and Earth ground. Color code for the power cord conductors is:
- Line (L) - Black
- Neutral (N) - White
- Earth ground - Green
5.2.2 Preparing the Charger for Operation: Selecting the Type of Battery and
Charging Stages
The Float Voltage and Boost Voltage (Also called Absorption or Overcharge Voltage)
of different types of Lead Acid Batteries are different. Also, when a charger is used
to charge a battery and simultaneously supply a load , the Boost Stage is required to
