Battery Chargers – Sentry and Guardian Models 
Features 
• High-quality constructed stainless steel cases, 
suitable for wall mounting 
• Auto boost operation provides increased 
output voltage when batteries are below a 
preset point 
• Remote temperature compensation provides 
control of output voltage based on temperature 
• Current limiting will only output the rated 
current of the charger 
The Sentry and Guardian battery chargers provide automatic, current limited and voltage controlled 
charging to vented lead acid batteries. They may be used in a wise range of industrial charging 
applications, including standby engines, pumps and generators. 
0710182 
Each unit consists of a transformer, rectifier and thyristor control circuit. The control circuit ensures that 
the charger maintains a battery voltage at the pre-calibrated float level, while supplying any additional 
load current up to the specified maximum.
