INSTALLATION GUIDE
- Please read this document very carefully to avoid charger malfunction, shock and/or fire hazards!
- This document provides a brief overview of a stand alone charger installation. For long term safe and troublefree operation, it is very important to read the owner
’
s manual on the rear side of this paper as well!
- Please follow the exact installation sequence as given below. Skipping one or more steps could result in charger malfunctioning or shock and/or fire hazards!

UNPACKING
The charger package should contain the
following items :
- Battery charger
- 3m temperature sensor
- This Installation guide / Owner's manual
- Safety flyer
- WEEE flyer
- 4x Mounting screws.
After unpacking, check if the
charger shows any mechanical
damage. Never use the charger
when the enclosure shows any visual
damage caused by harsh handling, or
when it has been dropped accidentally.
Contact your local supplier for further
information.
- 2x M8 crimp terminals.

Troubleshooting guideline
Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
charger is not working (all
indicators are off).
Power switch in OFF (0)
position.
Push the power switch in the
‘
I
’
or
‘
II
’
position.
No or too low AC input
voltage.
Check AC wiring and input
voltage level.
Remote switch or remote
control have deactivated the
charger.
Activate the charger
remotely or check dipswitch
4 for correct setting.
‘
Battery error
’
keeps on
appearing.
Battery voltage is too low or
too high.
Check the battery for
damaged or shorted cell(s).
Check if DC bus voltage is
being pushed by another
charging device.
Check low or high battery
voltage alarm settings using
TBS
‘
Dashboard
’
.
Battery temperature is too
low or too high (only
relevant when the battery
temperature sensor is
installed).
Check and try to correct the
ambient temperature around
the battery.
Check if the temperature
sensor is not damaged.
‘
Charger overload
’
or
‘
Battery error
’
keeps on
appearing.
There is a short circuit on
the charger output.
Check DC wiring.
Check battery condition.
Charger is being
overloaded in
‘
Forced float
’
mode.
When the charger is used in
‘
Forced float
’
mode without a
battery attached (not
recommended), try to reduce
the load.

keeps on appearing.
Airflow around the charger
is obstructed.
Make sure there is at least
10 centimeters of clearance
around the charger. Remove
any items placed on or over
the charger. Keep the
charger away from direct
sunlight or heat producing
equipment.
Too high ambient
temperature.
Move the charger to a cooler
environment or provide
additional cooling by an
external fan.

An internal error is
detected.
Please return the charger

Charge voltage is too low.
The charge voltage is being
compensated by the battery
temperature sensor to
protect your battery.
Do nothing or try to cool
down the ambient
temperature around the
battery.
Wrong charge program
selected by the dipswitches
or custom charge program
needs to be re-adjusted.
Select the correct charge
program or adjust the
custom charge program
using TBS

.
Note : Do not turn off the
charger when it's operating
in an
‘
High temperature

this error time to cool down.
DC cables too thin.
Install larger DC cables. See
the DC cable size table in
the installation guide.
Battery load current is
higher than the charger
’
s
output current.
Reduce or remove the
battery load.
Charge current is too low.
High ambient temperature.
Try to cool down the ambient
temperature around the
charger.
Charger is operating in the
absorption charging stage.
Do nothing. The battery is
almost fully charged and
consumes less current by
itself.
