DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installed properly, your maintenance-charger is set to provide your battery set
with what it needs to out-live and out-perform any similar battery set used in
the same application-conditions by a factor of two.
Read and thoroughly understand all safety instructions, pages
3 - 7 including
Preparing to Charge, DC Connection Precautions,
Maintenance-Charger Location
and
Qualifying Your Battery Set
before
proceeding further.
1.
Insert output cord plug into
EZC-01 installed connector
(see EZC-
01 Installation Instructions, next page).
Note: Always grip cord by
the Plug, not wire when inserting and removing to avoid damage.
Damage to the cord set-plug is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
2.
Plug the unit’s power cord into a standard – grounded 120 VAC electrical
outlet. The power on LED indicator will light
GREEN
. Within 30 seconds,
if it does not light
GREEN
check the outlet to be sure it is functioning. In
addition, be sure if outlet is controlled by a switch, no one will accidentally
shut off the power to the outlet. Check for correct polarity = (no error
RED
LED indicator). If error indicator is lit, reverse the maintenance-charger’s
output connections to the battery set.
3.
Maintenance-charger will automatically start within 15 - 30 seconds.
The Bulk LED Indicator will light
GREEN
. The maintenance-charger
will now begin charging by first checking the battery set to determine
its voltage and ability to accept a charge. Should the battery set not
have a normal fully discharged voltage (42V or less) the unit will begin
charging in the “Soft-Start” mode to determine if the battery set can
be safely charged. If it cannot, the Soft-Start LED will light
RED
and
charging will be stopped. Battery set should be carefully checked
under a load by a qualified person before further attempting to charge it.
Note
: If the battery set does not have a minimum no load
OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) of 12 volts, the Soft-Start LED will
light RED and maintenance-charger will reject battery set.
No further effort should be made to charge this battery set with this
maintenance-charger or any charger. Discard this battery, unless it has
just been subjected to a long period of continuous discharge under a
load such as can occur with leaving lights on. Allow such a battery set
to “Rest” for several hours (overnight if possible) before determining if
it is defective. Be very suspicious of any 48V battery set that does not
have at least 44V (OCV) before it is recharged. It may well be seriously
damaged and unsafe for any type of use or recharge. The unit’s Battery
Condition Indication LED will help you determine if the battery set is less
than 44V (
YELLOW
).
4.
After battery set has been fully charged, Float stage LED will light. The
battery set may not be able to be fully charged, may be too large or
