WARNING: WHENEVER REMOVING AC OR DC CORD SET
PLUGS FROM RECEPTACLES, PULL FROM THE PLUGS’ BODY AND
NOT FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE CORDS.
7. 5-STAGE CHARGE
•
If the charger’s AC cord set is first connected to AC power, while the
charger’s DC cord set is left unconnected, the L.E.D.s will remain off
and no power is delivered to the charger’s internal circuitry due to an
internal relay, which remains in the ‘OFF’ state.
•
If the charger’s DC cord set is first plugged to the charging receptacle,
while the AC cord set is left unconnected, approximately 3 seconds
after connection, (and assuming the use of the
charger set to MODE-
2), all 5 charger L.E.D.s will flash on and off, twice, and then all
L.E.D.s will turn off. The charger will remain in this idle mode, with all
L.E.D.s off, until AC power is connected.
•
Immediately, upon connection of the charger’s AC cord set to AC
power, a ‘click’ can be heard. This is the charger’s internal relay
clicking ‘ON’. The ‘Power On’ L.E.D. will illuminate to indicate that AC
power is applied, and the charger will then commence charging as
described.
DPI’S 5-Stage Charging Process works as follows:
7.1. STAGE ONE - PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST
7.1.1. Yellow, Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.), flashes on and off
SLOWLY at a rate of once every 2 seconds during this stage.
This stage applies tests to the battery pack. Further charging is
prohibited if the charger discovers a fault such as connection to
a 72V battery pack or reversed battery connections. Refer to
Section 9 - ‘Troubleshooting’ for understanding faults.
7.1.2. The duration of this stage is dependent on the condition of your
battery - approximately 45 seconds under average
circumstances, but if your battery pack was allowed to severely
discharge to less than 42v, then this stage can last as long as
5hrs.
7.2. STAGE TWO - CONSTANT CURRENT CHARGE (Bulk Charge)
7.2.1. Yellow L.E.D. illuminates continuously indicating that the charger
is charging the battery at the full rated output.
