charger and/or the installation.
Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
Omnicharge is not working at
all.
Main switch in Off (0)
position.
Push the power switch in the
‘I’ or ‘II’ position.
AC input voltage is out of
range or not available.
Make sure the AC input
voltage is available and
within the operating range of
the charger.
Remote switch or SAMLEX
Remote Control has
deactivated the charger.

Incorrect absorption charge
voltage setting.
Check the battery type
selector for correct settings.
Or adjust the absorption
voltage using SAMLEX
Dashboard.
Incorrect charge current
setting.
Adjust the charge current
using the Universal Remote
Control or SAMLEX
Dashboard. Typically, the
charge current should be set
to 10%-20% of the total
battery capacity
Too much voltage loss in
battery cables and/or
connections.
Make sure that the battery
cables have a large enough
diameter. Check if all DC
connections are solidly
made.
