Operations
The PathMaker has power switch(es) that connect batteries,
loads or sources together.
Connected Light
The Connected light turns on to indicate that the batteries, loads or
sources are connected.
Disabled Light
The Disabled light is on whenever the power switch(es) is(are) not on.
High Voltage Disconnect Light
The High Voltage Disconnect light is on solid whenever the batteries
are not connected due to a voltage higher than the High Voltage
Disconnect set point. The High Voltage Disconnect light will flash
based on the following condition. If a charge source is connected to
a smaller battery bank, it is possible that when the Pathmaker
connects the banks together, the larger battery bank (or depleted
battery bank) will pull the battery voltage down below the Low Voltage
Disconnect Setpoint. This will cause the unit to disconnect. If this
happens more than five times, the unit will shut down and the High
Voltage Disconnect light will begin to flash. After six minutesto
allow the battery connected to the charge source to charge longer
the unit will try to reconnect and resume normal operation.
The Control Module Switch
Th
e switch on the Control Module should normally be in the
Auto
position. If it is in the
O
(Disabled)
position, the batteries will not
connect when a charge source is available. To test the PathMaker
hold the switch in the
I (ON)
position. While the switch is in the
I (ON)
position, the power switch(es) will be on and the green Connected
light will turn on. If emergency starting is required,
pushing the
switch to the I (ON)
position will momentarily connect the battery
switches as long as the switch is held. If two batteries are connected
to the PathMaker, this provides a jump start for the starter.
Remember: The local switch on the PathMaker must be in the AUTO
position for any remote switch to work.
