Cyrix-ct 230A / Battery connection

Hi,

I just installed a Cyrix CT 230A in my car. After I finished the installation I recognized that I connected my starter battery to the port "Battery 1" (because I thought Nr 1 must be the main battery in the car and my aux battery to the port "Battery 2". Now I've seen that it looks like it is turned around in the manual. But I'm not sure because the ports are not numbered in the manual. Do I have to change my installation?

Thank you very much for helping!

Regards

David

PS: In your catalog I just found the following scheme. Here the starter battery is connected to Port "battery 1" as I did it. So I think it should not make a difference on which port I connect which battery. Is this correct?

Hi David, is the blue light always on? 
I connected the battery start on battery 2, as in the first scheme, and the blue light remains off ......

Based on my reading of the manual and other comments I. have seen here, it shouldn't matter and the batteries could be in either position.

Hi David, technomadia, ago.corona,

I have a question like David's about the connection of my Cyrix ct 230 to batteries. I am still puzzled despite the postings.

I guess the order of batteries counts. There are two diagrams as shown in the postings and the location of the poles for battery 1 (starter) and battery 2 (house) are inversed in the two diagrams. So my question is quite simple which pole is for battery 1 (starter)? or which diagram is the right one?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Refik

Hello,

I too am confused on this. It's not cleary marked on the unit and different diagrams show different connections. Anyone ever find an answer?
