3.8 Battery Charging (Trailered Wayside Units Only)
While the Wayside and Outpost units both have batteries that need to be charged, the
trailered version is the only one that the user has an active role in making sure that the
battery charge is maintained. The other versions of the units are either minded
constantly by the solar charging system or are connected to grid power with a constant
charge connection. The trailered unit must be kept with the batteries in a good state of
charge to function properly and ensure long lasting function. There is a load on the
batteries as long as the main power shut-off switch is active and will drain the battery
pack. If the unit is to sit for longer than 1 month without operation, see instructions for
storage (sec. 4.6).
3.8.1 Charging Procedure
1.
Read all safety information in the following section prior to charging.
2.
Make sure the unit is in a well ventilated area.
3.
Open the rear service door and locate the large red and black box mounted to the
back wall straight inside the service door. This is the battery charger. It will have a
power cord coming from the bottom of it.
4.
Connect this AC supply cord to an appropriate outlet. Outlet requirements can be
found in Section 2.1.2.2 – Power Supply.
5.
The charger will start after a short delay as indicated by the “spinning” light in the
round display in the center of the charger. The appropriate % level indicator will
also light up depending on the state of the battery charge when plugged in. The
indicated “% LED” will increase as the charge progresses. The indicator light will be
illuminated as long as the charge state is less than the indicated label. For example:
when the “25% LED” is illuminated, it means the battery pack is below 25% state of
charge. When it goes out and the “50% LED” turns on it means the battery pack is
below 50% state of charge, but above 25%.
6.
Once the charge is completed the charger will turn off automatically and the “100%
LED” indicator will turn green. After the charger has turned off, disconnect the AC
supply cord from the outlet.
*Note: The main power shut-off must be in the active/”on” position for the batteries to
charge.
