Pin 5 = Battery – Connect to battery ground as close to battery ! as possible. Pin 2 = Keyswitch The keyswitch turns on and off the LED display of the battery discharge indicator. Monitoring of the battery continues when Pin 2 is turned off and the display is not lit. The hour meter display is unaffected by Pin 2, although it cannot accumulate more time as long as the keyswitch pin is not energized. The control input HRM (+) is enabled by the keyswitch. Pin 2 is connected to the vehicle’

NOTE: Fuses and Wires Regulations may require that the Model 833 be ! fused. If installing a fuse, use a 10A fuse wired with 1.5mm or equivalent wire. The voltage drop across the fuse, its holder, and connectors must be less than 1% of the nominal system voltage.

4. OPERATION Display The Curtis Model 833 combines in one instrument a completely solid state LED battery state-of-charge indicator, an LCD hour meter, and lift lockout. Only when battery is properly charged is right most LED (1) lit. As battery’s state-of-charge decreases, successive LEDs light up, one at a time. 2nd from left LED flashes indicating “energy reserve” (70% discharged). The left most 2 LEDs flash indicating “empty” (80% depth of dis- charge). At this point, lift lockout o
