The microprocessor is constantly monitoring the charger circuitry and will both detect
and display
blinking
LED indications if a fault is detected.
DEFAULT ALGO:

FORMING STAGE
TIMEOUT:
This indication occurs
if the battery voltage
has not risen above
1.75 volts/cell within
the first 3 hours of
charging. This indi-
cates that a possible battery problem exists and the
charge cycle has been terminated.
OVERALL TIMER:
This indication occurs
if the charger has not
completed the charge
cycle within the allow-
able factory set time
period. This indicates
that a possible battery problem exists and the charge
cycle has been terminated.
INTERNAL OVER-
TEMP
SHUTDOWN:
This indication occurs
if the charger circuitry
has detected operat-
ing temperatures in-
side the charger enclosure that are above factory speci-
fied levels. This could indicate that a possible charger
problem exists and the charge cycle has been terminated.
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.
NO BATTERY
DETECTED:
This is the NORMAL
indication when the
charger is plugged
into AC but not con-
nected to a battery
pack. This can also be
considered the
NO BATTERY DETECTED
fault code.
<<ALTERNATING>>
NOTE:
•
When power is first connected to the charger, the LEDs will flash the charger
’
s ID code
(this is for PCS internal use only). This configuration will remain until AC is detected and
a charge cycle is in progress.
•
If the AC line and neutral wires are reversed, the unit will wait (2) minutes before
starting a charge. This 2 minute wait period will also be a factor if the charger is being
powered by anything other than normal grid AC such as a conventional generator,
inverter, etc.
•
If AC is disconnected while charging, the unit will go through an automatic reset. The
user may hear some clicking noise, but should not be alarmed. This is the Powered by
Battery/DOE functionality checking for AC connection.
