1.1 iNTRODUCTiON
This battery charger supplies a trickle charging cur-
rent and voltage to maintain the charge on the gen-
erator starting battery inside the generator enclosure.
The charger will not replenish a fully discharged bat-
tery. It is intended to be connected to a 120VAC gen-
erator backed-up circuit only. If it is not connected
to a generator backed-up circuit the battery could go
"dead" while the generator is running for extended
periods of time.
Figure 1.1 -- Charger as Supplied indicating
input and Output Wiring
AC Input DC Output
_WARNING _"
Z_ This battery charger must be properly installed
and wired for correct operation of all 2008
model line Air-cooled Standby Generators.
Failure to do so will result in a dead battery
condition at the generator.
NOTE:
This installation guide should be used in conjunc-
tion with the "Installation and Owner's Manual"
that is furnished with the Air-cooled Standby
Generator and the Installation and appropriate
transfer switch manual. Please review all manuals
prior to installation of the generator and transfer
switch. This battery charger is not required with
the Liquid-cooled Generator product line. This
battery charger is not required for Air-cooled
Standby Generators prior to the 2008 model line.
This unit is not compatible with other generator
manufacturer's products.
Section 1- General Information
Battery ChargerInstallation Guidelines GENERAL
NFORMATON
These Installation Guidelines are designed to famil-
iarize personnel with the installation process for the
battery charger required for the air-cooled generator
only. It does not replace or supersede any information
contained in any of the written documents shipped
with the unit. This booklet should only be used in
conjunction with the Owner's Manual, Installation
Guide and other technical documents shipped with
the unit.
Future product updates and/or modifications will be
reflected in the written documentation included with
the equipment. Always read all accompanying docu-
mentation carefully before attempting to install any
generator, transfer switch or related equipment.
NOTE:
It is essential to comply with all regulations estab-
lished by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and strict adherence to all
local, state and national codes is mandatory.
This device should be installed with all local
electrical codes and/or the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code. All wiring must be the
correct size and type, and must conform to local
codes, standards, and regulations.
1.2 BATTERY CHARGER
COMPATiBiLiTY
This battery charger is compatible, and required with
all 2008 model line Air-cooled Standby Generators.
For all generators that were supplied with a transfer
switch/load center, the charger is already installed in
the transfer switch enclosure and this charger is not
needed. For all generators that were NOT supplied
with a transfer switch!load center, the charger is NOT
already installed and MUST be installed according to
these guidelines.
•1.2.1 DETERMiNATiON OF GENERATOR/
TRANSFERSWITCH MODEL TYPE
The Battery charger included with this manual only
needs to be used with certain transfer switch configu-
rations. Some transfer switch configurations already
have the battery charger installed in the transfer
switch. Before proceeding it is necessary to select the
transfer switch used from the following table.

1. If already connected, disconnect the battery in
the generator. Remove the negative cable first fol-
lowed by the positive cable. Take care not to short
the cables together.
2. Ensure power is applied to the battery charger
input.
3. Connect a volt meter across the battery leads.
The voltage reading should be between 12.8 VDC
and 13.8 VDC (Figure 2.3).

section for connections.
Option ] - Protected Load Provided in Load
Center
1. Install a 15Abreaker in the load center (Purchased
or supplied separately). The breaker must be on
a generator backed-up circuit or the battery in
the generator will not maintain its charge during
extended run periods.
2. Run the 120VAC hot wire and neutral wires to the
generator.

Option 2 - Protected Load Provided in the RTS,
Fuse Block Installation
NOTE:
This section is only appropriate for 2008 RTSN or
RTSE transfer switches,
1. Mount the optional 5amp 600V fuse and holder
in the transfer switch. (Purchased or supplied
separately). Pre-2008 transfer switches will not
have holes pre-drilled for the fuse holder. In this
case, it is necessary to drill holes in the enclosure
to mount the fuse holder (see Figures 3.1 and
3.4).
2. Connect one side of the fuse to terminal (T1) of
the transfer switch using a spade lug. Pre-2008
transfer switches will not have the spade lug
attached to terminal T1. The spade terminal is
available separately if required (see Figures 3.2
and 3.4).
3. Run the other side of the fuse holder 120VAC
Hot) along with the neutral from the neutral lug
to the generator (see Figures 3.1 and 3.5).

within the controls area on the generator. It is
convenient to mount the charger on the verti-
cat surface on right-hand side of the controller
(Figure 3.7).
3. Clean the surface where the charger is to be
mounted prior to mounting with a damp cloth
and wait for the area to dry.
4. Remove the adhesive covering on the backside
of the charger and firmly press the charger into
place as shown. Once mounted the charger may
be removed for inspection by separating the hook
& loop mounting (Figure 3.8).

Attach the positive and negative battery charger
leads to the terminal strip in the controller. The
positive lead is either a red wire or is marked with
a (+) or (15B) designation. The negative lead is
black and/or marked with a (-) or (0) designation.
The positive lead attaches to the terminal labeled
"15B". Note that there will be two wires attached
to the "15B" terminal when the full installation
is completed. One for the battery charger and
one for the common connection to the transfer
switch. The negative lead attaches to the terminal
labeled "0" (Figure 3.9).
