1. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire brush until a shiny surface is obtained.
2. Run cables free from sharp objects and hold each in place with cable ties. Coil excess cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the cables, as in-line fuses are located 4 inches from the end of each red (positive) cable. In addition, there are fuses in all but one of the black (negative) leads. These fuses protect the charger and output cables in the event of a short or reverse polarity. We recommend the use of wire ties or cable clamps to provide strain relief for the cables and to reduce the risk of damage to the cables or connections.
3. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on pages 14-23. Make sure the (black) wires are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the red wires are connected to the positive side of the battery.

Important Note: Your ChargePro™ Series charger will not operate properly if it is not connected properly to each battery. Reminder, each DC jacketed bank cable must be properly connected to "individual 12V batteries". Number of DC jacketed bank cables equals the number of batteries that must be individually connected. Example: a 3 bank ChargePro™ Series must be connected to 3 individual 12V batteries, as illustrated on pages 14-23. Simply choose the illustration that has the same number of charger output bank cables as your ChargePro™ Series Battery Charger in hand and wire exactly as shown (choose the illustration that matches your application) for proper charger operation

1. Make sure all DC connections are correct, tight, and free from corrosion.
2. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 24 inches from the charger, batteries, and fuel fill lines.
3. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ChargePro™ Series charger first. After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Always remove the extension cord from the 120VAC outlet first when charging is completed, followed by unplugging the charger. You are now connected and charging your batteries, and can view the LED indicators.

TYPICAL WIRING

13

14

Wiring your ChargePro™ Series Charger Correctly

Simply choose the illustration that has the same number of charger output banks as your ChargePro™ Series Battery Charger and matches your application. Then wire exactly as shown for proper charger operation.

Incorrect wiring can result in reverse polarity, in the event this happens, the ChargePro™ Series has been designed to not fail as a result. Reverse polarity will cause the charger to "internally disconnect" and provide "no output" until the (reverse polarity) is corrected. A reverse polarity is caused by putting the "Red" + lead on a - negative battery terminal and/or a "Black" - lead on a + positive battery terminal. In the event of miswired battery(s), the charger will illuminate a red battery trouble status LED for the specific battery requiring attention.

Installation

When connecting each jacketed battery charger cable, make sure it is connected to only one 12 VDC battery and observe the polarity and color of all connections:

Red Wire = + (Positive) Battery connection

Black Wire = - (Negative) Battery connection

The black wire can never be connected to a terminal with red wires. Only black.

Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO THE SAME 12 VDC battery.

Each charger cable must be connected to 1 battery, just as shown. Observe black to (-) and red to (+). Do this for each battery.

black (-) cable jacket red (+) Group size 24 thru 31 only Top View of Battery

When connecting to an engine start battery connect the battery bank cable 1 that is LABELED: "Use on Engine Battery 1".

If there are more charger outputs than batteries, then a set of leads can be taped off until needed for an additional battery.

Note: ChargePro™ Series Waterproof Marine Battery Chargers are designed for any combination of group 24, 27, 29, 30 and 31 batteries. Each battery charger DC output cable must be connected to one (1) 12 Volt DC battery (even if batteries are configured for 24 Volt DC or 36 Volt DC trolling motor or system applications). Most specifically you do not have to remove series or parallel jumper cables to use your ChargePro™ Series Charger.

Charging Your Batteries

The ChargePro™ Series is designed to charge, condition, and auto maintain your batteries during short or long term periods of storage. Please follow these steps each time you use your ChargePro™ Series Charger:

1. Read manual and all warnings.
2. Review "Preparing to Charge a Battery" on page 6.
3. Ensure charger is installed as per the installation instructions.
4. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the ChargePro™ Series charger first. After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Anytime power is applied to the ChargePro™ Series the blue AC Power LED will illuminate.
5. The red Charge LED for each battery bank will flash indicating the charger is in Analyze mode. It should be noted, Analyze mode can take up to 1 minute as the ChargePro™ will do a self test to check wiring connections and make sure the batteries are > than 4 Volts DC and are able to take a charge.

Assuming there are no battery faults, the following charger operation sequences will proceed:

Note: If there is a bad connection, reverse polarity, or a battery that is below 4 VDC that can not accept a charge then a RED Battery Trouble status LED will illuminate for the battery that requires attention. See page 26 for further troubleshooting details.
6. The red charge mode LED for each battery bank will transition to a solid ON indicating the charger has started its multi-stage charging process as outlined in the Multi-Stage Charging Overview section of this manual.
CAUTION HOT SURFACE. Avoid contact during charging operation as unit will be hot to the touch but operating safely and properly.
7. The red Charging mode LED for each battery bank will turn off and the Conditioning LED will be solid amber indicating that the ChargePro™ will hold all batteries at 14.6 VDC to complete charging by conditioning each battery for up to 3 hours as needed.
8. When the charge process is complete (or if your batteries are fully charged when you apply AC power) the green Auto Maintain (Energy Saver Mode) LED for each battery bank will illuminate indicating your batteries are fully charged.

Note: The above applies to each individual charging output. Timing of LED status will vary from battery to battery based on discharge state of the battery connected.

Troubleshooting

No Blue AC Power LED or Charge Mode LEDs

Check for loss of AC power at the 120 VAC outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) has not tripped. Check with a meter or 120 VAC test light that AC power is present at the end or your extension cord. Reset AC power if it was not present. Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections at each battery and that all connections are clean and tight. Wait 1 minute while unit completes its analyze mode. If AC power is present and all connections are correct and LEDs do not illuminate, contact Guest® ChargePro™ Factory Service at 1-800-824-0524 from 8:30 am to 5pm Eastern Time. If your ChargePro™ Series is within the warranty period of 2 years from the date of purchase, you can go to www.chargepro.com where you will find our customer care return form and instructions.

Red Battery Bank Trouble Status LED is ON.

Identify the battery bank LED that is lit, remove AC power and check the battery bank indicated i.e 1, 2, 3 or 4 (model specific). The LED indicates there is a fault present. Listed below are typical faults and what can be done to clear the red battery bank trouble status indicator (reapply AC power after making any corrections):

Poor battery connections - Make sure all connections are tight and clean

Blown DC cable fuse - Make sure all fuses are good with a digital ohm meter or continuity tester and visually inspect the ChargePro™ Series's DC battery cables to insure they have not been compromised or shorted in any way.

Reverse polarity - Make sure all wiring connections are color coded and connected properly and that each bank cable goes to one 12V battery where (+) = red and (-) = black.

Battery too low to charge - with a digital voltmeter make sure the battery is over 4.0 volts DC (if not have your battery charged out of the boat and have it load tested by your local battery dealer to insure it is safe to charge and that the battery is capable of holding a charge).

High battery voltage input - Check to make sure one bank lead was not spread across 2 batteries connected in series for 24 volts DC. If so correct by wiring to the diagrams on pages 14-23.

Battery(s) not charging, Blue AC Power LED, RED Charging LED is ON

Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections at each battery, and that all connections are clean and tight. Confirm that there are no bank trouble status LED indicators on. With the charger on, read DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings are less than 12.8 volts DC proceed with the following:

A. Disconnect AC power at the 120 VAC outlet.
B. Go to pages 14-23 of this manual and confirm your ChargePro™ Series model charger is connected correctly as illustrated in the installation drawings.
C. Upon completing B above; plug your charger into AC power and observe the LED display. Charger should be in the charging mode (charge mode indicator should be red). After completing a full charge cycle, 10-12 hours or more for deeply discharged or completely dead batteries, the green Auto Maintain LED will illuminate in addition to the blue AC Power LED

Note: If a Digital Volt Motor (DVM) is available to you, instead of waiting to complete a full charge cycle, you can simply use a DVM and take DC voltage measurements across each 12 volt battery. As long as the voltage continues to increase while the red charging LED is on, this will serve as a confirmation that the charger is properly connected and is properly charging.
