connect the two (2) wires together, but do not

reconnect to panel.  Connect battery and turn on unit.
If charger goes into high rate, the control panel is

defective.
B.)  Check control relay,
To check cutout relay, turn unit on and measure the

voltage from pin one on the control panel to the

positive output terminal of the battery charger.  If zero
d.c. voltage is measured, the relay is defective.

NOTE:  IF A.C. CONTACTOR DOES NOT PULL IN WHEN

BATTERY IS CONNECTED,  JUMP TERMINALS 1 & 3 ON

TERMINAL  J2 ON  S2A-191 P.C.B.

Problem:  

Failure light on CODE 0001

1.  Check a.c. input voltage.

2.  Check a.c. input fuses.

 

CODE 0002 - Not used

Problem:  

Failure light on CODE 0003

1.  Check battery for correct number of cells.
2.  Check for defective or shorted cells in battery.

3.  Open circuit battery voltage must be above

1.6V.p.c..

Problem:  

Failure light on CODE 0004

1.  Check battery for defective or shorted cells.

2.  S2A-122A “p.c.” board may be defective.

 

CODE 0005 - Not used

Problem: 

 Failure  light CODE 0006

1.   Check for defective or shorted cells in battery.
2.   Check finish rate of charger.

Note:  To make contactor pull in, jump terminals 1 & 3

on S2A-191 printed circuit board.

Problem: 

CODE 0007

This is NOT a failure or problem, but when illuminated

indicates a fully charged battery was connected to the

charger.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

10D = JIC Switch - A.C. fused disconnect switch.
14B = Emergency Stop Button - For emergency charger shutdown.
Sequence Control - The sequence control allows charging of 2 or 3 batteries.  After the first battery
plugged in completes its charge, the sequence control will automatically start to charge the second

battery.  A circuit light indicates which battery is charging.  For sequence operation the DIPswitch “S8”

must be on.

191* = Two-Position Sequencing Circuit - For charging two batteries unattended.
192* = Three-Position Sequencing Circuit - For charging three batteries unattended.

This option is only available for Type 1 models.
