Battery Charger: Connecting to Envoy
Start with the AC input power to the battery charger switched OFF. Then connect the red 24VDC output
connector of the battery charger to the matching red charger connection port on the LH side cover of the
Envoy. Make sure that the Green ‘POWER’ LED on the LH side cover of the Envoy indicates that the
lane machine power is ON. Then switch ON the power to the battery charger. This sequence assures that
the charger always starts with the proper mode necessary for the state of battery discharge.
The Red ‘CHARGE’ LED located on the LH side cover of the Envoy, should turn ON only after it senses
voltage from a properly connected battery charger. This indicates the START of the battery charging
process. Switch OFF the power to the battery charger before removing the red charger connector from
the LH side cover of the Envoy. The Red ‘CHARGE’ LED does not turn off if the charger is disconnect
-
ed. This Red ‘CHARGE’ LED remains ON until the lane machine prepares to run a lane or the Power is
turned off. The Red ‘CHARGE’ LED should then turn ON again after it senses voltage from a properly
connected battery charger. Refer to
Figure 2.

Remember, always connect battery charger to Envoy lane machine when not running lanes:
The Envoy green ‘POWER’ LED must be on to charge the batteries.
Connect the RED Charger Connection to the port on the LH cover BEFORE switching ON the
battery charger AC input power.
The Envoy red ‘CHARGE’ LED should turn ON only after it senses voltage from a properly con
-
nected battery charger. This indicates the START of the battery charging process.
The battery charger is designed to remain connected to the lane machine whenever not running
the lane machine. It will keep the batteries in optimal condition and will not overcharge them.
Leaving the lane machine on for any extended time without connecting the battery charger will
slowly discharge the batteries and reduce their capacity.
