ESCR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ESCR
The LaMarche model ESCR is a microprocessor controlled SCR rectifier designed to charge engine start
batteries. It features adjustable Float and Equalize voltages, automatic sensing AC Input, soft start,
equalize timer and is configurable for Flooded Lead Acid, NiCad or VRLA batteries.
Prior to hooking up the battery, the charger needs to be configured for the battery to be charged. This is
done in the configuration mode. Enter the basic configuration mode by pressing the CONFIGURE/OK
button, selecting BASIC and then setting the proper parameters.
Once properly installed and adjusted, the rectifier will maintain the battery in a fully charged condition.
Install the rectifier so that the flow of air through the ventilators is not obstructed. Terminals to hook up
AC and DC connections are provided on a terminal strip within the unit. When hooking up the DC cables
to the battery, be certain the positive terminal of the charger is connected to the positive battery terminal
and the negative terminal is connected to the negative battery terminal.

ESCR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
After the rectifier has been installed, follow the battery manufacturers specifications for equalize, give the
battery a freshening charge to make certain it is fully charged by putting the rectifier in the Equalize
mode. To give an equalizing charge, it is only necessary to press the Float/Equalize button. The rectifier
will automatically hold the cell voltage at the equalizing voltage and will drop back to float voltage when
the Float/Equalize button is pressed again. Alternatively, a timed equalize cycle can be selected. In this
case the rectifier will drop back to float when the specified number of hours has passed.
In normal operation, the ESCR Float Charger maintains a constant battery voltage from no load to full
load with a variation of no more than +0.5% over the specified input voltage, frequency and ambient
temperature ranges. If the battery is discharged, the charger will recharge the battery from its current
limiting capacity to full charge.
The inherent design of the rectifier provides compensation for line voltage variations of +/-10%.
The DC output current is limited to provide for complete protection. The current limiting feature allows
for the unit to carry overloads and limits the output to a maximum of 105% of the rated output.
