Signet Charger Operation, Model HBS series
The Signet
®
HBS series
chargers are fully automatic.
The charger will turn itself ON
when the AC power cord is
connected to the AC power
source and turn itself OFF
when the batteries are fully
charged. Once the charge
cycle is complete, the charger
will continue to monitor the
batteries. If the battery voltage
drops during storage, the charger will start a new cycle
to keep the batteries fully charged.
NOTE: If the charger restarts during a short time period
of storage, then it would be an indication of
faulty batteries.
Refer to the data plate on the charger for the voltage and
type power required for the charger.
There is a series of LED’s on the faceplate of the charger
that serve two functions:
1. Status of charge. The STATUS LED’s will display
an approximate percent of charge during the
charging cycle. Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. The FAULT LED flashing is an
indication of a charging problem (charger may also
be beeping). Refer to the
Charger
Troubleshooting section for information on error
codes.

charging the battery. Operating the charger and
vehicle at the same time may lead to damage
to the charger and/or the vehicle resulting in
personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
The charger must be connected to a properly
grounded AC receptacle. Improper connection
will increase the risk of electric shock and can
cause severe personal injury or death.
