User and Installation Manual

Specifications

MASTERVOLT-40-Charge-Mate-Pro-Lithium-FIG-3

Automatic 12/24V detection

Recommended wire sizes for wire lengths up to 3 meters (10 ft) (DIN 47750)

The Charge Mate Pro Lithium is a current-limited electronic charge relay for the distribution of charge current between two battery banks.
The battery banks are connected when the voltage rises above a pre-set value for at least 5 seconds. When the voltage drops the battery banks are isolated again.
With an optional remote control switch the Charge Mate Pro Lithium can be used as a switch for emergency starts of the motor. This will overrule the automatic function.
Only use battery banks with the same type of charge characteristics.
The Charge Mate Pro Lithium can only be applied in 12 VDC or 24 VDC installations with a common negative.

Installation

To prevent hazardous situations, turn off the electrical power and make sure that no load is connected to the batteries during installation.
The Charge Mate Pro Lithium must be installed in a well-ventilated environment, as high currents will heat the Charge Mate Pro Lithium. Preferably on a flat metal surface, with the fins vertical.
- Do not install the Charge Mate Pro Lithium directly above the batteries because of possible corrosive sulfur fumes.
Use the mounting template from the packaging to determine the exact location and screw holes.
Check the installation drawing for the correct connection. Note that to keep the drawing easy to read, the cable lengths have not been drawn in proportion to each other.
Install the Charge Mate Pro Lithium in the positive lead between the battery banks.
- To prevent high cable inductance, resulting in reduced charge current or even shut down of the Charge Mate Pro Lithium, make sure that all cables are as short as possible and free from loops, and run the positive and negative cables as close as possible together.
Connect the negative of the battery banks to the Charge Mate Pro Lithium.
Optionally you can install a remote status light to the Status output and A+.
