The LED meanings and functions (fig 8)
BOOST / HIGH CHARGE RATE ON

HIGH VOLTS IN ( ON ) / OUT ( FLASH )
LOW VOLTS IN ( ON )/ OUT ( FLASH )

:
Green: This should be on from start-up (a slow flash shows that the unit is on but on standby, ie the high alt temp trip
or some other trip has switched the boost aspect off and the unit is waiting to reset if possible). When this LED is on continuously this shows that the system
should be working at it’s maximum to achieve the full preset desired output voltage . It should remain on until the green float comes on and this shows the high
charge rate is complete.
15)
: Yellow: Timer Activated: This comes on, when the voltage reaches about 13.9 - 14 volts ( x 2 for 24 v ) and depending on how long it took to achieve
this voltage from start up will dictate how long the timing cycle will remain on. The software will calculate the timing for the high charge rate. This will vary from 1
- 10 hours and the time will be displayed on the remote panel as a count down . This light will remain on until the high charge rate is over, and will go out at the
same time as the high charge rate between 1-6 hrs after activation. (a slow flash shows that the unit is on but on standby, ie the high alt temp trip or some other trip
has switched the boost aspect off and the unit is waiting to reset if possible)
16)
:
Green Float Mode: This indicates that all the high charge cycles are now over and should remain on after all the high charge lights are out. The system is
now running at a standard float voltage rate only (about 14 volts) regulated on the battery (a slow flash shows that the unit is on but on standby, ie the high alt temp
trip or some other trip has switched the boost aspect off and the unit is waiting to reset if possible).
17)
. red: (
) This device monitors both heat sinks and in the event of that exceeding 75 deg C the unit will switch off until the
temperature has been reduced. It is important not to fit the unit inside a hot engine room or somewhere with no air flow round the unit total unit shutdown, auto reset
on unit temp dropping below 65 deg c
(
) and the current lights flashing, this means the boost has been switched off ( to reduce the heat being produced on the heat sink, if the temp
keeps increasing then the l.e.d. will come on solid and trip the unit completely , as such the unit is on standby waiting for the temp to reduce
18)
:
This will warn you and switch off the boost section, this means that your alternators own regulator has
failed and the alternator will now boil and destroy your batteries, there is simply nothing we can do about this except warn you:
Battery output voltage high
This will warn you and switch off the boost section, this means that either this unit has failed
and was in the process of overcharging your battery bank, or you have some other charging source on your output battery bank which is overcharging the
batteries and our unit thinks it is at fault ie if there was a battery charger or solar cell which was putting out a voltage in excess of 1.5 volt above the boost
voltage of each of the different battery types. this is a fatal trip and the unit will not come back on again until reset, ie engin switched off and on again
led 2 flash,
high internal voltage, fatal flaw , unit defective and must be returned
led 3 flash,
high voltage starter battery, warning only no action by our unit
led 4 flash,
high voltage drop from unit output to the end of the remote sensing cable, this is due to either to small a cable , to long a run, deflective crimping
, or cable broken. not fatal , find fault and fix , max voltage drop between unit output and cable end is 0.8 volts this is a warning but no action from our unit
led 5 flash
short circuit on output, the parameters are , voltage below 6 volts and current in excess of 100 amps ( the software will take this as a short circuit )
19)
yellow:
Low Input Voltage Warning
This is simply saying that there is a low voltage at the main battery
bank and has no active function. For information only, this usually indicates a defective alternator or very high demand at low r.p.m.
Battery output low voltage
: Low Voltage Warning:
This is saying that there is this could simply be that the output batteries are so flat that it could take a
few hrs to build up the voltage , or the unit is defective and unable to charger the batteries
Low Starter battery
2 flash then pause etc etc
20)
Red : This shows that the battery temperature sensor has picked up a temperature in excess of 50 deg C at its source (
where ever you have fitted it ) this will trip the unit until it has been reset. Please find the fault before resetting, it could be a hot defective battery or a lose terminal near the
temp sensor which has overheated the terminal giving the sensor a false temp reading , the unit processes taking this reading as the actual battery temp .
21)
this confirms that the battery temperature sensor is fitted and that all is o.k., if the sensor is not fitted this l.e.d. will go out#
L.E.D. on solid
L.E.D. Flashing constant
( L.E.D.on solid )
please take this warning very seriously and stop your engine as soon as possible, remove the alternator input cable to prevent damage to your batteries then
continue your journey and have the alternator inspected and repaired at next available place. this is a fatal warning and should not be ignored
( L.E.D. on flashing continually )
