3. INSTALLATION
The Model 833 Installation Kit includes a
pre-assembled mating connector with
5” terminated wires.
!

The Model 833 fits into a dash-panel cutout measuring
21/16” (52 mm).
Terminal Assignment (see diagram on page 13)
Pin 8 = Battery +
Pin 8 to battery +

7
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’s keyswitch.
Pins 1, 2, 6 & 7 = Hour Meter Control (+)
In normal operation, Pin 1, 6 or 7 are connected when
using normal hour meter function. It is possible to
OR the hour meter between the three inputs so that it
accumulates the total time either system is on. Hour
meter control logic is detailed in Table 2.

Pin 3 = Relay (+)
Pin 3 connects in series with the lift coil circuit (or
the circuit to be switched at empty). For holding relay
(J), Pin 3 must be electrically closer to battery +
than Pin 4
Pin 4 = Relay (–)
Pin 4 also connects in series with the circuit to be
switched at empty.

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.
Discharge Adjustments
Table 3 lists the voltages per cell under load that correspond
to an empty indication on the gauge (lockout point).

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 occurs.
LCD Hour Meter
d from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Do
14
Push-to-read
When the front button is depressed, the LCD will display
the hour meter reading for 6 seconds min. The hour
meter will not accumulate time during this operation.
Reset type/level (after or during recharge)
CTR = Charge Tracking Reset
If the gage is connected to the battery during recharge,
the gage will track the battery charge level.
OCR = Open Circuit Reset
If the gage is disconnected from the battery during
recharge, the gage will retain the last indication. It will
advance to full when reconnected only if the battery voltage
is above the OCR level. For standard (“B”) reset, OCR =
2.09 VPC*.
*VPC = volts per cell.
