TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
The charger contains 4 safety protections:
INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION
: The
BS40
is built-in with overheat and overload
electronic circuit. When the charger is overheated, the charger will shut down shortly. If
temperature is decreased, the charger will resume to normal charging.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
: The charger employs the use of a
‘
Solid State Circuit
Interrupter
’
that opens under severe overload. This condition may occur if attempting to
charge any severely discharged or heavily sulfated battery. Once the Interrupter opens, the
charger will stop charging for a short period and then resume charging automatically and the
Charging LED will be OFF, until resume charging. Overloading could be due to an external
load, remove the load condition prior to attempting to recharge the battery.
REVERSE POLARITY
: The charger has reverse battery and short circuit protection. If a
reverse battery or charger output lead short condition exists (Red LED flashes, while output
leads are connected backwards), simply unplug charger from AC power and properly remake
the connections as described in this manual.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
: The charger has reverse battery and short circuit
protection. If a reverse battery or charger output lead short condition exists (Red LED flashes,
while output leads are connected backwards), simply unplug charger from AC power and
properly remake the connections as described in this manual. The charger employs the use of
solid state circuit protectors on both the input and output sections (as compared to unreliable
bimetallic automatic breakers), that will permanently open during a catastrophic failure like
the shorting of output leads while charging or lightening strikes etc.
