Bulk Charge Safety Time Error
o
Occurs during the Bulk Charge Stage when its associated safety timer times out
AND the battery voltage was not allowed to increase above 2.17V/cell. Possible
causes include: use of a battery load that is draining energy from the battery
while the charger is trying to charge that same battery, aged or unbalanced
battery cell conditions, etc.
Absorption Charge Safety Time Error
o
Occurs during the Absorption Charge Stage when its associated safety timer
times out AND the battery voltage was dragged below 2.17V/cell. Possible
causes include: use of a heavy battery load that drained energy from the battery
while the charger was trying to charge that same battery.
Excessive Charge Time Error
o
Occurs when charging took too long AND the battery voltage was not allowed to
increase above 2.17V/cell. Possible causes include: use of a battery load that is
draining energy from the battery while the charger is trying to charge that same
battery, aged or unbalanced battery cell conditions, etc.
Mode Selected Empty
o
The selected Charge Algorithm, set via the User Selected Switch Setting, is
empty and not a valid setting for charging batteries – reset the MODE Select
switches to a valid value.
Lockout (Inhibit) Enable Defective
o
If an Equipment Lockout (Inhibit) Cable is installed and supposed to be active,
but it is not, this error is produced – Check Inhibit vehicle wiring. If correct,
internal inhibit switch may have been overload – contact factory. Also refer to the
Lockout Inhibit Option Section for External Wiring diagram for this circuit
schematic and how it interfaces to an equipment’s Run-Contactor.
Lockout (Inhibit) Disable Defective
o
If an Equipment Lockout (Inhibit) Cable is installed and supposed to be
deactivated, but was not, this error is produced – Check Inhibit vehicle wiring. If
correct, internal inhibit switch may have been overload – contact factory. Also
refer to the Lockout Inhibit Option Section for External Wiring diagram for this
circuit schematic and how it interfaces to an equipment’s Run-Contactor.
Internal Over Temperature
o
Charger shut down due to an internal over temperature condition – check fan
operation and remove blockages, if any. Also, remove any air flow obstructions in
and around the immediate vicinity of the product. Clean/clear away grease, grime
and any debris from product. If this does not remedy situation, product may have
been permanently damaged. Contact the factory or your point of distribution.
Alert Definitions and Meaning
o
During Finish or Equalization Charge Stages, if the upper safety voltage was
reached, the stage was terminated. It ‘MAY’ be an indication of loose or corroded
terminals or other condition that produced a resistance into the charge path.
Check all connections. The Green LED Flashing Alerts are as follows:
Slow = Finish Stage, Medium = Equalization Stage, Fast = Total Charge Timer
