Signet Model HBS Charger
Description of Operation
The Signet model HBS charger is designed as an automatic charger. It is available with charging
profiles for SLA and FLA batteries. The charger turns itself on when it is plugged into the wall
outlet and turns off when the batteries are fully charged. The charger continues to monitor the
battery voltage and if the battery voltage drops below a threshold value, then the charger will
turn on again for a short cycle to keep the batteries topped off.
The charger face plate has a series of lamps to enable monitoring of the charging cycle. More
detail of the lamp operation is later in this section.
NOTICE
Sealed Lead Acid batteries (SLA) must be charged with a charger configured for SLA
batteries. Use of any other charger will result in damage and premature failure of the
batteries.
NOTICE
This charger is rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation (nominal). When switching from
one input voltage to the other, wait until all LED’s are off. Switching voltage when any
of the LED’s are on will result in damage to the charger.
This charger requires a standard household 15 Amp electrical circuit. Before plugging
the charger in, confirm that your charging station is configured correctly.
DO NOT attempt to charge two vehicles on one standard household 15A circuit.
Failure to confirm the proper charging station configuration or attempting to charge
two vehicles may result in fire.
