In the above table the Argo model and its characteristics are
mentioned:
•
The maximum current of the battery isolator. For example:
If a charger or an alternator of 60 Amps is used, the
maximum current of the battery isolator has to be 70 Amps.
Always select a battery isolator with a higher maximum
current than the maximum current of the charger or
alternator
•
The number of batteries that can be connected to the
battery isolator.
•
R-contact means that the battery isolator is equipped with a
compensation diode. This contact can only be used with an
alternator. When this contact is connected the voltage losses,
caused by the battery isolator, are compensated.
Connecting instruction:
1.
Check if the charger is switched off.
2.
Mount the Argo battery isolator as close as possible to the
charger, on a location where the air can circulate.
3.
Connect the plus of the first battery to connection "1" of the
Argo battery isolator.
4.
Connect the plus of the second battery to connection "2" of
the Argo battery isolator.
5.
If the battery isolator has 3 battery connections: connect the
plus of the third battery to connection "3" of the Argo
battery isolator.
6.
Connect the plus of the battery charger to connection "A" of
the battery isolator.
7. Connect the minus of the batteries to the minus of the
charger.

Argo battery isolators
Connection diagram:
Use of the Argo with an alternator:
An alternator can be used instead of a charger. Follow the same
connecting instruction but read "alternator" instead of "charger".
Use of Argo with a R-contact:
Attention: the R-contact can only be used when an alternator is
connected to the battery isolator.
Operation:
Diode A and B cause the battery voltage to drop approximately
0.45V. By connecting the voltage regulator to the compensation
diode C, the voltage regulator voltage also drops. Therefore the
voltage regulator will increase the alternator voltage so the
voltage drop over diode A and B is compensated.
Connecting:
When your Argo battery has an R-contact follow the same
connecting instruction but add the following:
7.
Connect the voltage regulator to the R-contact on the battery
isolator.
