1.3
Charge Status LEDs
The Charge Status LEDs indicate to the user which inputs are available and
what stage of the charge process is currently in.
1.3.1 Solar & Vehicle LEDs
The Solar and Vehicle LEDs will be ON when the input is available and in use
and OFF when the input is not available or not in use.
If both LEDs are ON, both input sources are available and in use.
The Dual Input In-vehicle Battery Charger uses Green Power Priority technology.
This means the unit will always supply as much power as possible from the
Solar input before supplementing this with power from the Vehicle input, to the
maximum output of the unit or required by the battery at the time.
1.3.2 Stage
LED
The Stage LED indicates the charge profi le stage. With either A, B or C Profi les
selected the charger will output a 3-Stage Lead Acid type charging profi le with
Boost, Absorption
and
Float
Stages. When the Li Profi le is selected the charger
will output a 2-Stage LiFePO
4
type charging profi le with
Constant Current
and
Constant Voltage
stages.
Figure 1.3.2.1 outlines the LED sequences which indicate these stages and
fi gure 1.3.3.1 explains the Charging Process.
