General safety information for installation and operation is

contained throughout this manual where it applies and is not

included in this summary.

Definitions Warning statements identify conditions or practices that

could result in personal injury, loss of life, damage to equipment or other

property.

Fuse Replacement An in-line fuse is installed in the unit. For continued

protection, it must only be replaced with a fuse of the same type and

rating. This must be done at an authorized service center or at the factory.

To avoid damage, operate the equipment only within the specified guide-

lines of this manual.

Servicing To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open this unit.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all service to qualified

personnel.

The Xantrex Digital echo-charge is specially developed for charging an

auxiliary battery with FreedomTM or Fleet Power®Inverter/Chargers or with

any charging source. The Digital echo-charge automatically switches ON

and OFF, charging a starter or auxiliary battery without affecting the main

house battery bank. The maximum charge current is 15 amps when the

starting battery is 1/2 volt to 1 volt DC less than the house battery. The

Digital echo-charge is designed to work on 12 VDC or 24 VDC systems.

The Digital echo-charge is a voltage-follower, following the three-stage

charge modes of the Freedom Charger. This method protects the starter

battery from over-charging and ensures a long life for the battery. If using

another charge source, the Digital echo-charge will follow the charge

stages of the source. Refer to the source’s Owner’s Manual for charge

modes.

The Digital echo-charge unit is complete with:

• 2 feet of 16 gauge wire with ring terminal (quantity 1)

• 2 feet of 16 gauge wire with ring terminal and 20 amp in-line fuse (quantity 2)

• Digital echo-charge Owner’s Manual

INTRODUCTION

Use only deep-cycle batteries in your house battery bank.

Only similar batteries should be connected together in one bank. Do not

connect old and new batteries together or wet and gel cell batteries

together.

Always use properly sized terminals and cables for your interconnecting

battery cables.

Starter battery and house battery banks should not be mixed in the

same bank.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Digital echo-charge should be unpacked immediately upon receipt,

and inspected to determine if any shipping damage has occurred. No

special handling is necessary; however, care should be used to avoid

dropping the unit or exposing it to dust and moisture.

Needed for Installation

• Flat head and Phillips screwdrivers

• Wire cutters

• Wire strippers

• Mounting screws

• #12 gauge wire, if an extension is needed

• Miscellaneous assortment of wire ties and connectors

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock and prevent premature

failure from corrosion, do not mount where exposed to rain, drip or spray.

Caution: Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove cover. No user

serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified service personnel at a

factory authorized service center or at the factory.

Caution: Always wear safety glasses for eye protection when working

with batteries. Protect your skin from harm by wearing clothing that will

cover your arms and legs when working with batteries.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

The Digital echo-charge is intended for vertical mounting. Mount in a

location that provides the greatest convenience when making the wire

connections to the batteries. Select a location that is within two feet of the

house battery and within two feet of the starter battery, for maximum

charging current. Mount the unit using the holes on the flanges. Ensure

that the mounting location is well ventilated and not exposed to harsh

environments of dust and moisture or in the presence of flammable

fumes. Do not mount on carpet or other heat-sensitive surfaces.

Before making any connections, remove all charging sources—discon-

nect from shorepower, turn the generator OFF and do NOT run the

engine. If using a Freedom charger controlled by a Freedom Remote or

Link monitor, the remote must be OFF. No charging voltage should be

present during installation. If you are using a stand-alone charger or other

power source, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for disabling the

charge function before beginning installation.

INSTALLATION

Prevent unnecessary damage by carefully following

the installation instructions.

Battery Connections

Two feet of 16 gauge wire with a ring terminal on the end is connected

to the Digital echo-charge unit. Connect the ring terminals to the batteries

as indicated.

Connect from the echo-charge:

•Ground wire (black) to the negative battery ground.

•Starter Battery wire (red with yellow trace) to the starter battery

positive (+ red) terminal. A 20 amp fuse in this line protects the wire.

•House Battery wire (+ red) to the house battery bank positive (+ red)

terminal. A 20 amp fuse in this line protects the wire.

Use 12 gauge wire to extend wire if needed. Avoid using long connec-

tion wires. The longer the wires, the less current will flow and the longer it

will take to charge the starter battery.

After all connections have been made, turn the charger ON. The Digital

echo-charge will follow the charger and begin to charge the starter

battery.

Note: When the House Battery and Ground connections have been

made, the Digital echo-charge’s LED will light Green. When the starter

battery connection is made, charging will begin.

WARNING

Make sure all charging sources are switched

OFF and no charging voltage is present

before beginning installation.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

Never disconnect battery cables while

the charger is in operation.

FUSE

When the input voltage is 13.0/25.5 volts DC or higher, echo-charge

automatically switches ON. The LED glows a steady green. When the

input voltage is lower than 13.0/25.5 volts, the echo-charge automatically

switches OFF, and the LED blinks green. The output voltage of echo-

charge is limited to 14.4/28.8 volts. When it reaches 14.4/28.8 volts, the

charge current will decrease, maintaining a float condition. The starter

battery will be fully charged without overcharging.

No load current drain on the house bank is less than 50 milli-amps.

If the input voltage is above 14.4 volts (or 28.8), output will be limited to a

maximum of 14.4/28.8 volts.

OPERATION

Voltage Differential (VDC) Between

House Battery (+) and Starter Battery (+)

The graph shows the relationship between the

voltage difference over the echo-charge (voltage

difference between house (+) and starter (+) battery)

and the charge current.

Output Current (Amps)

It is important to install the Digital echo-charge in a well-ventilated

location. An elevated temperature may cause the Operation LED to glow

red and turn the echo-charge OFF. When the temperature cools down,

the LED will return to green and the Digital echo-charge will resume

normal operation.
