Charging with the Signet Model HB
Charger
Note: O p p o r t u n i t y c h a r g i n g i s n o t
recommended. For maximum battery
life, it is recommended that the batteries
be discharged a minimum of 30% (7
bars showing on the BSI) before starting
a charging cycle.
This charger requires a standard household
electrical circuit rated at minimum of 15 Amps.
Consult an authorized electrician if you do not
know the configuration of your circuits.
1. Park the vehicle at an authorized
charging station. Refer to Parking in the
Driving section.
2. Connect the charging cord to the AC
power receptacle.
3.
The charger status LED’s will flash in
sequence as the charger performs a self
diagnosis and systems check.
4. The charger will start the charging cycle
only after it has determined that all
systems are OK.
Refer to grouped safety warnings and
information at the start of this chapter.
WARNING
Note: It is recommended that the charging
cycle be allowed to complete normally
before disconnecting the AC power
cord.
A beeping noise from the charger is an
indication of a fault during the charging cycle.
Refer below for fault information.
There is a status light panel on the charger
faceplate that displays the current status of
the charger. The first light on the left (POWER)
should be ON when the AC cord is connected
to a working AC power source.
The three STATUS LED lights will indicate the
current charging condition as follows:
•
Left
: Charge cycle is ON and is in
constant current mode.
•
Left & Middle
(80%): Charge cycle is
ON and is in constant voltage mode.
•
Right
(100%): Charge cycle completed.
All three lights flashing at the same time
indicates that an abnormal charging condition
has occurred. Refer to the following fault code
table for more information.
Note: Critical faults will be accompanied with
an audible beeping.

Code
Description
Action Required
1*
Reverse polarity or open circuit to
the batteries
Check wiring for corrosion, loose connections,
broken wires and proper connection to the batteries
2
AC line voltage too high or too low
Check the input voltage. It must be within 96-
132VAC or 196-266VAC
3
Charger overheated
Wait for charger to cool, the charger will automatically
restart. Inspect for dirt or debris on the charger
cooling fins and clean as required.
4
Input or Output over current
Charger will automatically correct for this condition
and restart
* - In many cases fault 1 will only be displayed for a short amount of time and then the charger
will attempt to restart. Typically, the fault will repeat 8 times and then the charger will start the boot
up process with the 50% light on. If the charger cannot restart then the fault loop will start again,
repeating the fault 1.
This fault could be a result of an open connection between the charger and batteries, an open
connection on one or more of the battery cables, or an open connection internal of the charger.
Before replacing the charger, confirm all battery wiring is good.
