Mitch,
You seem to be literate and have an IQ over 80...
What makes you think that the guy who is going to actually do the installation will meet that same criteria??
Get the PD9245 in the house. Open the box and read the instructions. If then you can't figure it out (I doubt that) then look for some assistance.
Installation basically goes like this....
Locate the AC power - shut it off
Disconnect the AC power leads but mark or remember where they go. (It may just be plugged it..)
Disconnect everything (every single thing) from one of the battery posts. It doesn't even matter which one.
Remove the red and black cables from the old converter.
Remove the old converter.
Put the new PD 9245 in its place and connect the pendent. Put the end of the pendent where you can see it.
Connect the red and black cables to the red and black terminals on the new PD.
Put the cables back on the battery carefully. You may get a little spark out of one, but that is to be expected. The pendent should start flashing. This is normal.
Connect the AC power to the PD.
Power up the new converter.
The pendent will change its flashing.
Now, get a cold one and read over the part you read before about what the different flashes mean.
Along the way, get a 1 pint bottle of distilled water to make up what the battery looses.
I have a PD9245 on 2ea GC2s in series (Duh) and I don't add a pint of water in a season on serious camping.
