ProSport includes 7 LEDs for operation status and up to 3 battery bank trouble LEDs depending
on the model.

1. The blue AC power LED

Illuminates when AC power is applied

2. The battery type LED

Will illuminate red for standard Flooded (lead-acid)/AGM and green for GEL.

Note: The ProSport 20 Dual bank model includes an amber battery type LED for AGM HP
(High Performance) battery type. Please read the battery manufacturer literature carefully
and select the correct charge profile. Failure to do so may cause early battery failure.

3. The system check OK LED

After applying AC power the ProSport will self test and analyze all battery connections
and batteries. If all checks are OK the green LED will illuminate. This can take up to 2 minutes.

4. The charge mode LEDs

Charging:

Red LED will flash during the self test and battery test mode
(approximately 1-2 minutes) and will be solid red during charging.

Conditioning:

Amber LED illuminates during conditioning mode.

Ready / maintain:

Green LED illuminates when batteries are fully charged and being
automatically maintained until you are ready to use your boat.

Storage recondition: Green LED fades in and out when performing a once a month storage

recondition mode.

5. Battery bank trouble status LEDs

Red LEDs will illuminate indicating a wiring problem or fault at one of the batteries connected
to the ProSport charger. See page 21 for further details.

Operation after Applying AC Power to a ProSport Charger
Connected to Discharged Batteries

During the startup test the battery type LED will be illuminated and the red charge mode LED will
flash indicating that the unit is in a self test mode. When complete and if there are no faults, the
charger's system check OK indicator will illuminate green and the ProSport's solid red charging
LED will be ON indicating the charge process is initiated.

Note: If there is a fault the appropriate bank LED will illuminate and the charge process may not start, depending
on the location of the fault. See page 21 for further troubleshooting details.

If There are no Battery Faults, the Green System Check OK LED will Illuminate and the
Following Sequences will Proceed:

The red battery type LED (factory set for standard Flooded (lead-acid)/AGM batteries) will illuminate.

The red charge mode LED will illuminate indicating the charger has started its multi-stage charging process.

When the charge process is approximately 80% complete the red charge mode indicator will
turn off and the amber conditioning LED will turn on indicating the conditioning mode.

When the multi-stage charge process is completed you will observe the following:

Battery type red LED goes OFF.

The red charging LED and the amber conditioning LED will be off and the green ready/maintain
LED will illuminate indicating your batteries are fully charged.

The only LEDs on after the multi-stage charge process is completed are the green system
OK LED, blue AC power LED and the green ready/maintain LED.

Multi-Stage Charging Overview

ProSport Charging: During this mode the “Charging” indicator will be red. ProSport will use all of its
available charging amps (as controlled by temperature) until the battery voltage is raised to 14.6VDC
(Flooded lead-acid factory setting).

ProSport Conditioning: During this mode the “Conditioning” status indicator will be amber. Batteries will
hold at 14.6 VDC (factory set for Flooded lead-acid batteries) to complete charging while conditioning each
battery connected. Upon completion the ProSport will go into its maintain mode.

ProSport Ready / Maintain: During this mode the “Ready/Maintain” status indicator will be green and remain
on with the blue “power” LED indicating that your batteries are fully charged while being maintained at a precision
13.4 volts (factory set for Flooded lead-acid batteries) and are ready to go when you are.

ProSport Storage Recondition Mode:

During this mode the ProSport “Recondition Mode” green indicator

will illuminate with a slow fade in and out pulse indicating that while your batteries/boat are in storage the
ProSport will automatically recondition all batteries for up to 3 hours once a month extending battery life
and maximizing on the water battery power performance.
