Battery Charger: Connecting to Envoy
Start with the AC input power to the battery charger switched OFF. Connect the red 24 VDC output con-
nector of the battery charger to the matching red charger connection port on the left hand side cover of the
Envoy. Make sure the green ‘POWER’ LED on the left-hand side cover of the Envoy indicates that the
lane machine power is ON. The switch ON the power to the battery charger. This sequence assures that
the charger always starts with the proper mode necessary to the stat of the battery discharge.
The red ‘CHARGE’ LED located on the left-hand side cover of the Envoy, should turn ON only after it
sense voltage from a properly connected battery charger. This indicates the START of the battery charging
process. Switch OFF the power to the battery charger before removing the red charger connector from
the left-hand side cover of the Envoy. The red ‘CHARGE’ LED does not turn off if the charger is discon
-
nected. This red ‘CHARGE’ LED remains ON until the lane machine prepares to run a lane or the power
is turned off. The red ‘CHARGE’ LED should then turn ON again after it senses voltage from a properly
connected battery charger. Refer to
Figure 2.

Battery Charger: Connecting to the MAX
Start with the AC input power to the battery charger switched OFF. Connect the red 24 VDC output con-
nector of the battery charger to the matching red charger connection port on the left hand side cover of the
MAX. Make sure the green ‘POWER’ LED on the left-hand side cover of the MAX indicates that the lane
machine power is ON. The switch ON the power to the battery charger. This sequence assures that the
charger always starts with the proper mode necessary to the stat of the battery discharge. The MAX will
begin monitoring the charging cycle when the DC output voltage reaches 26.8 VDC. The MAX can be
charged with the machine power off, however the system will not be able to monitor the charge.
Remember, always connect the battery charger to the lane machine when not running lanes:
• The battery charger is designed to remain connected to the lane machine whenever not running
the lane machine. It will keep the batteries in optimal condition and will not overcharge them.
• Leaving the lane machine on for any extended time without connecting the battery charger will
slowly discharge the batteries and reduce their capacities.
