Step 6
Next to the slider switch on each Charge Port You will see a
BLUE
LED
and a
RED LED
.
The blue LED is a charge indicator and the red
LED is a fault indicator. These LEDs have the following meaning.
BLUE LED FLASHING =
The charger is connected to a 12 volts sup-
ply but has no battery connected.
BLUE LED SOLID =
The charger is in the battery charging process.
BLUE LED OFF =
The charge has finished the main charge process
and is in trickle charge mode.
RED LED SOLID =
There is a battery fault. This could be:
1) Battery over temperature (if using the optional temperature
probe). The charge process will stop until the battery returns to
the safe temperature range.
2) A bad battery that still has a low voltage after 23 minutes of
startup charge and cannot be charged.
3) A 3 hour period has been reached and the battery is still not
completely charged.
Step 7
To start the charging process it is a simple process of connecting
a 12volt power supply. As soon as you connect the 12 volt supply
the AR Logo is shown for a brief moment, the charger boards are
reset and (if batteries are connected) the charge process begins.
You should see similar to the picture below if using a 3 port charge
and have all 3 ports connected to batteries.
Note. As with all chargers you need to be present during the
charge cycle. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. If you must leave
note the capacity of charge into the battery(s) then disconnect
the 12v source to stop the charge. Resume when you return by
simply plugging the barrel plug back in.
