Great Planes Triton Jr. Charger - GPMM3152 - Manual (Page 5)

Triton Jr. only accepts DC input power which could come from a 12V power supply or 12V automotive battery. It’s best to use
a clean DC power source whose output is filtered to remove unwanted electrical noise. Do NOT use an automobile battery
charger as a power source. To achieve the absolute maximum output power, the power source must be capable of delivering
at least 6.5 amps of current while maintaining 12 volts DC.
The input power lead is located on the left side of the charger. Securely connect the charger’s red alligator clip to the positive
(+) terminal on the power source, and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal. WARNING! NEVER allow the red
and black input connections to touch each other while connected to 12V DC power. Failure to do so could result in
permanent damage to the power source and the charger. It’s recommended to disconnect the charger from input
power when not in use.
The charger is always on when connected to the power source (there isn’t any ON/OFF power switch). Therefore, disconnect
the charger from input power when not in use. If input power is below 11.0V or above 15.0V, the display will show an “Input
voltage” error. If this occurs, re-check the input power supply to ensure adequate power is present.
A 10 amp auto, or spade type fuse is located on the left side of the charger, and is used to protect the charger’s input. If you
suspect the fuse has blown, be sure to first disconnect the charger from input power. Then, remove and inspect the element
inside the fuse. If the element is burnt, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the exact same rating. Do NOT use a fuse with
rating greater than 10A.
Triton Jr. has a maximum overall power rating of 63 watts. If trying to charge a high voltage battery at high current, the charger
might deliberately reduce the output current to keep the output power under the maximum level. This is normal, and designed
to protect the charger.
