DF1*

DF PUMP

Cause

Charger problem.

Output default.

Wrong battery.

Battery discharged
more than 80% of 
its capacity.

Battery requires
inspection.

Fault in the air 
circuit of the elec-
trolyte circulation
system.

Solution

DF1 appears when 
the charger is not able
to supply its output 
current. Follow the 
breakdown procedure
for the charger with 
control of the IGBT,
diode, mains voltage …

Check the correct 
connection of the 
battery (reversed 
polarity cables) and 
the output fuse.

Too high or too low 
battery voltage. Battery
voltage must be between
1.6V and 2.4V per cell.
Use proper charger for
battery.

Charge continues.

DF5 appears when the
charging profile has
been achieved with 
a fault condition, 
that can be a current 
increase in regulation
phase demonstrating 
a battery heating or a
badly pro grammed
regulation voltage, or
the charging time is too
long and has exceeded
the safety limit.

Check charging 
para meters: profile, 
tem perature, capacity,
cables.

Check the battery
(defective cells, high
temperature, water
level..).

Check the proper 
operation of the pum 
via the menu 

Option-

Option test.

Check the air circuit
(pump, tubes). 

If this fault occurs, the
charger will adapt the
battery charging profile
for an optimised charge.

Too high battery
temperature.

Verify the proper 
operation of the fans
and/or absence of too
high ambient tempera-
ture, or wether there is
poor  natural ventilation
to the charger.

Top up battery electro -
lyte. Do not fill in until
top of the cell in order
to avoid overflow by 
the next charge.

Wait until the battery
temperature cools
down, check the battery
state (water, profile)

Verify the set up of 
temperature in the
menu 

Configuration-

Battery-High tempera -
ture.

Control the temperature
sensor of the Wi-IQ.

Change of the main
board 

Battery water topping
up or ensure that the
Wi-IQ is properly 
adjusted and installed
(see Wi-IQ instructions
of mounting)

Check each battery 
cell during discharge.

Control if the Wi-IQ 
is properly adjusted 
(see Wi-IQ instructions
of mounting).

Verify the battery 
electrolyte level or the
correct set up of the
charger. 

Check the temperature
sensor of the Wi-IQ.
