BATTERY CHARGE  

 

The sequencer has 2 x 12V lead acid batteries installed. 

Only use the supplied smart charger to charge the batteries. 

The charge port 

should not

 be used to power the device directly. 

The battery charger LED will flash orange when charging and steady green when battery is 
full. 

The unit may be switched on while charging. However, it is recommended to keep the unit 

switched off to avoid false ‘end of charge’ detection.

 

We recommend to keep the batteries in good condition by avoiding very low discharge. 

The battery voltage and firmware version are displayed on startup. 

 

Note:

 

Charge the battery every 3 months even if sequencer has not been used. 

Note:

 

The battery voltage should be above 23V for best operation. 

 

SELF TEST ERROR CODES 

 

The sequencer runs a self test on start up. 

This may warn you of defects by displaying an error code. 

Pressing OK will move past this error and allow operation of the sequencer. 
 

PROCEED WITH CAUTION WHEN AN ERROR CODE IS SHOWN. 
 

ERROR #

 

DESCRIPTION

 

ERROR 01

 

ARM MOSFET stuck ON.

 

Sequencer will not be operational. Do not use.

 

Contact manufacturer for repair.

 

ERROR 02

 

Any channel MOSFET stuck ON. Bank with problem channel will flash.

 

Press OK to proceed.

 

Be aware that a channel(s) are 

PERMANENTLY ON

 

and could fire as 

soon as an igniter is connected. 

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

.

 

Contact manufacturer for repair.

 

ERROR 03

 

Any channel MOSFET stuck OFF. Channel LED will flash.

 

Press OK to proceed.

 

Be aware that channel(s) are permanently off and may not function. 

 

Contact manufacturer for repair.
