When first powered on and with no battery packs connected to the charger, all the LED indicators on the Quad
Charger should be green. When a battery pack is seated into a charging port, the “CHARGE” LED will
change from green to red indicating the battery pack is not sufficiently charged. Once fully charged, the LED
will change from red to green and the battery pack is ready to be used.
The “Fault” LED should remain green indicating that there are no problems with the battery pack or charging
port. If the “Fault” LED turns red with the battery pack connected, then there is a problem or issue with the
battery pack and it should be immediately removed and not be used. If the “Fault” LED turns red without a
battery pack connected to the charge port, then there is a problem or issue with the port and that port should no
longer be used.
Battery packs can remain connected to the charger even after a full charge indication (Green “Charge” LED) is
shown due to the protection circuitry of the battery pack which prevents any overcharging issues.

Solar Panel (Optional)
Detcon also offers an optional solar panel to be used in conjunction with the Smart Battery Pack. It provides
24VDC output and connects to the J5 connector of the Model 100 Terminal Board. This option enables
continuous operation of the wireless transceiver and charging of the battery pack eliminating the need for
external recharging. It is an ideal choice for virtually any area with sufficient daily average sunlight. Since
the solar panel is considered and external power supply, a special conduit installation will be required.
If the optional solar panel is installed, consideration should be given to position the panel where the most
sunlight is available. The solar panel can be mounted remotely to allow for maximum sunlight exposure. If
necessary, a sunshade can be used for the wireless transceiver assembly to help reduce its operating
temperature.
