5  Maintenance 

The charging station relies on its cooling surface in order to be able to fulfil its technical data requirements.  The heat 
dissipator must therefore be inspected for dirt accumulation and cleaned if necessary. 

Cables must be inspected from time to time for corrosion.  Their contact resistance increases if they are corroded and the 
contacts can become so hot that faults can occur.

7  Malfunctions and fault finding 

The charging station has been designed for many years of continuous use.  Faults can however occur.  The description 
of some common faults that follows should help the electrician and the operator to diagnose these faults, so that the 
system can be brought into operation as quickly as possible and unnecessary expense can be avoided.  Of course not all 
possible causes of faults can be listed.  However you will find here the most common causes of faults covering the 
greater proportion of the incidences of faults in connection with the charging station.  Do not send the charging station in 
until you have established that the malfunction is not one of those described here. 

The charging station is protected against destruction by a variety of measures.  Nevertheless great care should be taken 
to ensure that the charging station is operated correctly.  Some of the malfunctions are signalled by the display.  However 
these faults can only be signalled if the system has been properly installed for them.  If faults other than those described 
should occur, then please first check that the charging station is connected to the module and the batteries at the correct 
terminals and with the correct polarity. 

 
Fault reporting on display 

Meaning 

Remedial action 

No display 

No current supply, electric power 
supply may be defective or it is night-
time and there is no battery 
connected 
Ambient temperature <0°C 
Storage temperature above or below 
limits of range 

 Check 

connections 

 

Check if module is supplying current or 
if a battery is correctly connected 

 

Check operating temperature 

 

Install control unit again, disconnecting 
all batteries and module and connecting 
again in the correct order  

OVERCURRENT GDN 
DISCONNECT ALL 

Overcurrent was found at output, 
caused by incorrect procedure on 
connecting outputs in parallel 

 

Install control unit again, disconnecting 
all batteries and module and connecting 
again in the correct order 

Line 1 

Line 2 

 

 

POLARITY ERROR 

 

 

Battery was connected with reverse 
polarity 

 

Check battery connection for correct 
polarity 

BATT.DEF._C xxxAh 

     

 

 

Defective battery or battery with 
incorrect nominal voltage e.g. 6V 
connected 
(see Chapter 2.2.3.3; Page 6) 

 

this battery should be replaced 

 

observe nominal voltage of battery 

DEEP.DISCH.xxxAh 

      

 

A sulphated battery was connected 
with details of Ah already charged 
see Chapter 2.2.3.2; Page 6) 

 

this battery is old or was deep 
discharged 

 

the owner of the battery should take 
precautions against deep discharge.
