6  Error Messages 

Any  operational  error  is  indicated  by  the  red  LED  blinking  and  accompanied  by  an  alarm  buzz. 
Furthermore,  the  display  indicates  an  error  status  message.  To  stop  the  alarm  buzz,  the  status 
message should be removed from the display. Return to the starting menu by pressing 

STOP

. 

If  abnormal  operating  conditions  occur  during  the  battery  charging,  the  following  error  messages 
will appear on the display. 
 

6.1  Error message "VS Polarity" 

This message is displayed in case the current cables are connected properly but the voltage sense 
cables are connected in opposite polarity either on the side of a device or the side of a battery. 

 

Figure 6-1: Error message "VS Polarity" 

 

6.2  Error message "Polarity" 

This message is displayed in case the current cables are connected in opposite polarity either on 
the side of a device or the side of a battery. 

 

Figure 6-2: Error message "Polarity" 

In this case connect the current cables correctly and repeat the charging process. 
 

6.3  Error message "Overcurrent" 

This  message  is  displayed  if  the  charge  current  is  higher  than  the  set  or  maximum  permissible 
current values.
