REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
Guards against reverse connections. POLARITY LED will light on control panel and power will not be sent to output
cables if a reverse connection is sensed.
BATTERY FAULT PROTECTION
Guards against excessively charging compromised batteries. ERROR and CHARGING LED will flash indicating
charging has stopped and the charger has detected a compromised battery. Conditions that cause this error include: if
the battery voltage does not rise appropriately during the charging process (indicating a shorted cell) or if the maximum
charge time has been exceeded.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Guards against shorted connections. ERROR LED will light solid on control panel and power will not be sent to output
cables. This condition is triggered if the charger detects less than 1V across the clamps. See Operating Instructions
Step 4 Note 2 for details regarding this feature.

For Conventional and Maintenance Free flooded (wet) batteries, the ideal Battery Type selection is "STD".
For batteries identified as AGM construction, the ideal Battery Type selection is "AGM".
For most Spiral Wound batteries, the best Battery Type selection is "AGM".
For batteries identified as Deep Cycle, determine the construction of the battery. Is it a wet cell battery or another type of
construction? This will determine the proper Battery Type selection.
For batteries identified as Marine, determine the construction of the battery. Is it a wet cell battery or another type of
construction? This will determine the proper Battery Type selection.

The charger comes equipped with (4) sets of Standard Length Output Cable Accessory Leads. If a lead is lost or
damaged, replacement leads can be reordered:
– Model No. PLA61 – Standard Length Clamp Accessory Output Lead
To improve the versatility of the charger, we also have an extension cable available for situations where a longer output is
need to reach a vehicle. Please note that, should you choose to utilize the available extension cord, only the accessories
noted below should be used with it. If the Standard Length Clamp Accessory Leads are used with the available extension
cord, it will result in excessive voltage drop, which will undercharge your battery(ies).
– Model No. PLA62 – 10 ft. output extension cord for PL4020
– Model No. PLA63 – Reduced Length Clamp Accessory Output Lead
– Model No. PLA64 – Reduced Length Ring Terminal Accessory Output Lead
