“N” terminal and the Green “ground” wire to the terminal. Terminal
screws must be fully tight.
5. Tighten the wire clamp firmly around the wires. If a jacketed 3-wire
cable was used, tighten the wire clamp around the end of the cable
jacket, not the individual wires. The cable jacket must protrude slightly
past the wire clamp.
6. Connect the opposite end of the AC power cable or wires, to the AC
power source, again using appropriate connecting terminals. The green
wire connects to the distribution panel “ground”, the white wire to the
system “neutral” and the black wire to the output terminal of a 15-ampere
circuit breaker.
4.5 Selecting the Correct Battery Type
The Truecharge is designed to properly charge all types of lead acid
batteries. A battery selector switch located inside the wiring compartment,
directly under the lower right corner of the front panel label, must be set to
match the type of batteries being charged. The switch is recessed behind
the inner wiring compartment panel to guard against inadvertent changes.
A pointed object such as a ballpoint pen will be needed to reach through a
small access hole to move the switch lever.
• If “Flooded” battery(s) are being charged, slide the switch to the right in
the direction of the “F” stamped into the metal switch panel. Flooded-
type batteries are those that have removable caps for water addition.
• If “Sealed” battery(s) are being charged, slide the switch toward the
center of the Truecharge (to the left), in the direction of the “G” stamped
into the metal switch panel. There are two types of sealed batteries:
“Gel” and “Starved-Electrolyte” (or “AGM”). Both types are identified by
having no removable caps where water can be added. Both Gel and
AGM batteries require the switch set to the “G” position.
4.6 Completing the Installation
The Truecharge is now almost ready to begin charging. Prior to switching
on AC power, first double check that the above installation has been
performed correctly, then follow these final steps.
1. Securely attach the metal wiring compartment cover using the four
self-tapping screws supplied.
Important: The battery selector switch must be set correctly. An
incorrect setting may seriously affect battery life.
