6SMART 6-STAGE BATTERY CHARGER ANDMAINTAINER - RV & MARINEnormal use. Use the AGM/Wet setting for this type of battery.• Gel. The original sealed battery type uses silica-dioxide to fix the acid in place. They can bedifficult to identify and can be easily mistaken for an AGM battery. Use the GEL setting forthis type.IMPORTANT! If you are unsure of your battery type, check with your battery supplier or thebattery manufacturer. Using the wrong setting can damage your battery and will not be coveredunder warranty.AUTOMATIC POWER-SUPPLY MODE:This charger will automatically become a power supply in the event there is no batteryconnected or there has been a total battery failure. This allows you to use critical loads such asa water-pump in a remote area where no replacement may be available.If there has never been a battery installed in your camper-trailer, caravan, etc you must havethis unit plugged into AC mains to be able to operate the lights, TV, etc.If you decide to install a battery at a later stage, you do not need to purchase another charger.Simply have a suitable battery installed by a professional automotive-electrician and check theBattery Type is set correctly.If you have a battery installed and suspect there has been a battery failure of any kind, thisfeature will allow you to still be able to operate your DC loads such as lights and TV because thecharger will still turn on when the battery has been disconnected and/or removed.If this happens, disconnect the AC mains and have an automotive-electrician to disconnect thebattery Negative terminal and then secure and insulate the cable so it cannot short-circuit ormake contact with anything.When AC mains is re-applied with no battery connected, the charger will automatically restartas a Power Supply. This is shown by the Float/PS LED coming on.When the problem is fixed or faulty battery is replaced, it will automatically restart as a BatteryCharger.USE WITH OTHER CHARGING SOURCES:It is quite common in installations where this charger will be used to have other methods ofcharging the batteries also connected (and possibly in use) at the same time. Because thischarger has been designed as a Voltage regulated product, there is little chance of this being aproblem. Most alternators, solar controllers, DC-DC chargers, etc will not cause any ill-effectif used at the same time. However, we recommend that you check with the other equipmentsuppliers if you are not sure.STORAGEThis charger has been designed to be left permanently connected.We therefore recommend that you plug the charger into AC mains when your camper-trailer,caravan, boat, etc is in storage so that the battery is always maintained at 100% state of chargeand always ready for use.If you don’t have access to permanent AC mains power, consider solar panels and a suitableregulator to keep the battery fully charged.KP87004 OzCharge Manual.indd 6 5/03/2018 2:24 PM
