  If the charger is functioning properly, check the voltage of the battery as some chargers will not 

recognize an over discharged battery. 

  To take a battery out of quarantine, disconnect the battery from the charger and reconnect the 

battery. 

4.2.4 Unknown 

The Unknown column shows the number of chargers with an unknown status according to the system. 

 

If any charger ID’s are listed in the column marked “Unknown”, check to see if the Sentinel™ shows 
a steady green light.  If it does, wait a few min

utes and check the “Status” screen again.  There 

could have been a miscommunication between the control box and the Sentinel™ in which case the 
status will update the next time the control box polls the Sentinels™.

  

 

 

If the Sentinel™ does not have its green LED illuminated,  

o

  Check the data cables to make sure that they are secure and have not been broken or 

pinched.   

o

  Be sure that the data cable is plugged into the control box.   

o

  Be sure that the data cable is connected to the first 

Sentinel™ and that the cable is 

connected between each Sentinel™.   

o

  Make sure that the control box has power. 

  If the green light is flashing, be sure that the 

Sentinel™ has been assigned to a Pool through the 

charger configuration.  (See DOC0023
