Fault 

Possible Cause 

Proposed Fix 

Reverse Polarity 

light is 

illuminated on 

PSU 

Mains Supply reversed? 

The reverse polarity light is designed to illuminate when the Live and 
Neutral supply has been reversed / crossed over. If the light 
illuminates there is a problem with the site supply or the cable 
connecting the supply to your vehicle. The light is designed to work 
on UK electrical supplies (where the neutral conductor is connected 
to earth at the sub station). If you are using your vehicle outside the 
UK this light may illuminate when no fault exists. In these cases 
consult the site warden for advice. 

Generator being used 

‘The Reverse Polarity warning light is on when using my Generator’. 
This is a normal side effect when using some types of generator. 
Instead of connecting the neutral conductor to earth, some generators 
centre tap the earth connection making both neutral and live 
conductors 110V above earth. This 110V difference causes the neon 
polarity indicator to illuminate.  In most cases it is still safe to use the 
generator, but please consult the generator handbook for further 
information. 

Control Panel 

Problems 

Control Panel has no 
display 

Check batteries and fuses, turn PSU isolate switch and charger 
switch on and ensure mains supply is connected. 
Check control panel connecting lead at PSU and behind Control 
Panel. 
Contact your Dealer. 

12V Power turns off
