3.
If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, first
disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output
connector/plug from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
4.
The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the amber LED beginning to blink quickly.
5.
The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid amber illumination of the LED. Not all
charge profiles include a Finish phase.
6.
An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the LED beginning to blink green
quickly. Not all charge profiles include a Balance/Equalize phase.
7.
The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery reaches full charge, which is
indicated by [1] the solid illumination of the LED or [2] the green LED beginning to blink slowly green
indicating a post-charge phase. The required charge time is affected by numerous factors, including
battery amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery age/usage.
8.
Leave the charger connected until the charge cycle is complete and your machine is going to be
used
9.
Disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from the battery connector/receptacle by firmly
grasping both connectors and pulling them straight apart.
12.2 On-Board Charger Operation
If the charger is configured for on-board use, follow these operating instructions:
1.
Ensure that the vehicle/equipment that the charger is mounted on is turned off.
2.
With the charger AC power cord disconnected from the AC outlet, connect the charger DC output
connector/plug to the battery connector/receptacle (most likely already connected or hard wired).
3.
Connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate AC outlet. The charger will start automatically,
which is indicated by the LED beginning to blink amber slowly.
4.
If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output connector/plug from
the battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
5.
The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the amber LED beginning to blink amber quickly.
6.
The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid amber illumination of the LED. Not all
charge profiles include a Finish phase.
7.
An extended Balance/Equalize charge cycle phase is indicated by the LED beginning to blink green
quickly. Not all charge profiles include a Balance/Equalize phase.
8.
The charger automatically terminates the charge cycle when a battery reaches full charge, which is
indicated by [1] the solid green illumination of the LED or [2] the green LED beginning to blink green
slowly indicating a post-charge phase. The required charge time is affected by numerous factors,
including battery amp-hour capacity, depth of discharge, battery temperature, and battery
age/usage.
9.
Leave the charger AC power connected until the charge cycle is complete and machine is going to
be used. Disconnect the AC power before operating the machine.
12.3 Storage Mode Operation
1. Storage Mode is designed to keep your battery maintained during storage periods that last a few
weeks to several months at a time.
2. Depending on the battery type, a storage charge can be a continuous float or a periodic charge
mode.
3. Do NOT disconnect the charger from the battery or from the AC power while your machine is not
being used. Disconnecting and reconnecting the charger from the batteries or AC power may start
a charge cycle, but disconnection disrupts the storage mode so optimum battery maintenance is not
achieved.
4. After several months of storage your batteries should be serviced and the charger reset by
disconnecting the DC for Off-Board or the AC for On-Board applications (disconnect AC for a
minimum of 10 minutes) before continuing another storage season.
