30, 60 & 90% RED
LEDs BLINKING ................... OVERALL TIMER SHUTDOWN
This indication occurs if the charger has not competed the charge cycle within
the allowable factory set time period. This indicates that a possible battery
problem exists and that the charge cycle has been terminated at this point.
30 & 90% RED
LEDs BLINKING ................... INTERNAL OVERTEMP SHUTDOWN
This indication occurs if the charger circuitry has detected operating
temperatures inside the charger enclosure that are above factory specified
levels. This could indicate that a possible charger problem exists and that the
charge cycle has been terminated at this point.
30% RED & 100% GREEN
LEDs BLINKING ................... BULK STAGE SHUTDOWN
This indication occurs if the battery voltage does not rise properly during the
bulk stage. This indicates that a possible battery problem exists and that the
charge cycle has been terminated at this point. Please call technical support for
assistance.
Problem:
A green LED was illuminated before disconnecting the power
from the charger, but upon reconnection, red LEDs appear and remain on.
Answer:
This is the normal operating procedure for the system. It
indicates that a reanalysis of the battery status was initiated and after a
series of steps the green LED was illuminated.
