is properly mated with the mains
outlet socket and that the mains
supply is switched on. If the lamp
remains off consult Sunrise Medical
or your local Sunrise Medical
dealer.
Fault: The charger is switched
on but the red “failure” lamp is
illuminated
Check that the charger connections
are correct and that the plugs
are fully mated in the sockets. If
the lamp remains illuminated it
is possible there is a fault in the
battery, consult Sunrise Medical or
your local Sunrise Medical dealer.
Fault: The red “failure” lamp
blinks
The battery voltage is too low,
try again after approximately 30
minutes. If the lamp continues to
blink consult Sunrise Medical or
your local Sunrise Medical dealer.
24V 8A charger indicator lights
The charger has 3 light indicators,
each clearly marked on the label to
show their function (Fig. 42).
Yellow - charging
This will illuminate a few seconds
after connection, indicating that
charging of the batteries is taking
place.
Green - charge complete
This will illuminate when the
battery is fully charged. This can
be anywhere from 8.5 hours to
14.5 hours after commencement
of charging, depending on how
discharged the batteries were.
The ‘mains’ light will remain on.
Please note that after the charge
complete light has illuminated, the
charger will continue to charge the
batteries. However the charging
and ‘bulk charge’ complete light
will not be illuminated at this point.
Following a further period of time
the charger will switch to a ‘float
voltage’ setting. It can therefore be
left on indefinitely.
Red - fault light
Battery voltage too low, try again
after 30 mins.
