10. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your
FAST 500/510/525
will run for at least 72 hours between charges. Your battery life
may vary, depending on the volume of traffic and the violator alert usage. For optimum
results, we recommend that you charge the unit when not in use. Repeated full draining
of the battery will shorten the battery life. The
FAST 500 & 525
comes equipped with an
internal battery charger.
** The 510 has an external charger- charging will be a manual
hookup.
Move the sign near a standard electrical outlet and plug it in with the supplied
AC power cord. The 500/525 that the plug is located under the enclosure, right next to
the
“On/Off” switch as viewed in
Figure 6
above. An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Using improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire
and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure that;
1.
The pins on the extension cord plug have the same number, size, & shape
as those of the AC power cord plug on the charger;
2.
The extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical condition;
and
3.
The wire size is a minimum of 18 AWG for a 6’-100’ cord & 16 AWG for a
101’-150’ long cord.
The charger is completely automatic and may be left connected to both AC power and to
the battery that it is charging for long periods of time. However, it is prudent to
periodically check both the battery and the charger for normal operation during these
extended charging periods.
PRO-PAK FEATURES (500/525 only)
The PRO-PAK charger has a RED and GREEN light for each charging bank. The RED light
indicates the battery is charging. The GREEN light indicates the battery is full charged
and charger can be unplugged from the AC. A built-in safety feature will alternately flash
the RED and GREEN lights indicating that either the charging leads to a battery are loose,
not connected or connected backwards.
The PRO-PAK charger is designed to provide the quickest and most efficient charge
possible while guarding against overcharging. The amperage delivered while charging
is constantly monitored and automatically adjusted until all batteries are completely
charged. Once charging is complete each bank turns on or off as each battery demands.
If a battery cell is bad, the battery might keep taking a heavy charge. If this happens, the
PRO-PAK charger will sense the problem after 24 hours and completely turn that bank off
and alternately flash the Red and Green lights.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT CHARGING
The charger will not begin delivering current to the batteries until it detects a “solid
battery” on its charging leads. “Solid battery” means the charging leads are connected in
correct polarity with tight, clean connections to the battery being charged. If the battery
