Important Notices - Please read each important notice below and
this entire manual before installing your ProTech-i Series Charger.
This manual is written to assist in the installation of the Protech-i Series On-Board Marine
Battery Charger, however because this is a permanent AC and DC hardwired installation,
ProMariner strongly recommends that an ABYC certified marine electrical technician
be used for the electrical installation of your new ProTech-i Series charger to insure a
safe install that is compliant to ABYC and UL Marine Standards to include but not limited
to proper marine grade wire rated for the amperage rating of your charger and the length
of wire used or needed.
All existing electrical hardware i.e. battery switches, distribution blocks, fuses, protective
breakers for each battery, must be inspected for proper condition, ratings and operation.
All connections and wiring must conform to ABYC and UL standards.
To avoid risk of injury, fire, and electrical shock, inspect all new or existing AC and DC
wiring associated with your boat’s battery charging system for properly rated wire gauge
for the amperage rating of the ProTech-i Series Charger you will be installing (See page
11 for wire gauge and Ratings by ProTech-i Series model). All undersized and substandard
non-marine wiring must be replaced before proceeding with your installation and
applying power connections to your ProTech-i Series Charger.
The ProTech-i Series Charger is a dry or weatherproof compartment charger and must be installed
with the required protective drip shield included with your charger. Do not expose your ProTechi Series Charger to rain, snow, fresh or saltwater, wash down water or bilge water.
Important Notice: FCC Class B Part 15 Notification
Your ProTech-i Series On-Board Marine Battery Charger has been designed and tested to
comply to FCC Class B part 15. These regulations are to provide adequate protection against
harmful interference while operating in a commercial application. If in a residential setting
you are encountering interference with TV and Radio reception then: Simply disconnect AC
power from the ProTech-i Series Charger to confirm if your battery charger is causing
interference, if so the user can explore the following to minimize interference:
1) Choose a different AC circuit to power your On-Board Marine Battery Charger
2) Make sure your AC Connections include a proper Ground Connection.
3) Reposition the receiving antenna
4) Purchase a separate AC Line filter
5) Relocate Charger so separation from the receiving equipment is at its furthest point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have GEL Cell batteries?
A: Look at the battery housing and see if it is identified as a GEL battery. If you do
not know what kind of battery you have contact the manufacturer of the batteries
you have on-board.
Q: What do I do if my ProTech-i Series LEDs do not turn on?
A: Check to make sure that an AC power connection is made. If LEDs remain off,
review the troubleshooting procedure on pages 15 and 16.
Q: Will water hurt my ProTech-i Series charger?
A: Yes, these are dry compartment chargers and must be mounted in a dry location.
Damage caused by water is not covered under the ProTech-i warranty policy.
Q: How do I change my ProTech-i Series charger to GEL cell mode?
A: Please double check that you have a GEL cell battery(s). There is a misconception
that AGM is GEL. This is not the case. AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery(s) require
a different charge profile than GEL Batteries. If you have confirmed that you have
GEL (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid) battery(s), simply follow the procedure outlined
on page 6 of this manual.
Q: Does my ProTech-i Series really need 6 inches of all around clearance for ventilation?
A: We recommend this for cooling, more clearance is better.
Q: I think my ProTech-i Series charger is too hot. What should I do?
A: The charger will get to the point where it can be touched, but you would not want
to carry it across a room. This is normal.
the service LED Operation and trouble shooting guide on page 15
Q: How do I change the AC input on my ProTech i charger from 120v to 240v?
A: The NEW ProTech-i charger is equipped with the most advanced charging
technology and will automatically adjust for the correct voltage.
Note: the charger is thermally protected. See
