Understanding the Protection Features 

Derating the Charging Current: 

When the charger senses the environmental temperature is 

above 50°C, the maximum charger current will de-rate to 1/2 of the value (A02 warning code 

will display). The charger will recover automatically back to the maximum charging current 

when the environmental temperature drops to below 45°C. 

Over Temperature Shutdown: 

When the charger senses the environmental temperature is 

above 60°C, the charger will shut down. It will recover automatically when the environmental 

temperature drops to below 45°C. 

Battery Reverse Polarity: 

When a reverse polarity is connected to the battery bank, Fault Code 

E03 on display will appear. In some case, the user replaceable DC fuse located near the DC 

Output terminals may blow and Error code E08 will display. 

AC Input Voltage Protection: 

The charger will shut down when it senses the AC input voltage is 

outside of the operating range. A fault code will display. The charger will recover automatically 

when it senses the AC input voltage has returned to the normal operation range. 

Disconnecting the Battery Bank: 

To avoid any spark on the battery terminal, always disconnect 

AC Input before removing or disconnecting the battery. 

BTS Shutdown (with optional BTS in use): 

To avoid any battery damage especially when a 

Lithium battery is used, the charging cycle will be terminated when the optional BTS senses the 

battery temperature is above 60 C or below 0C.

Charging Dead Batteries

The charger is designed to charge batteries with the voltages on their terminals greater than 3Vdc. 

For lower voltages, the batteries can be temporarily and partially charged using the charger’s 

“Program” (“Power Supply”) setting, before returning to the proper battery type setting.

Reinitiating the charging cycle and the battery connection status manually

When all the channels in use (the ones with battery connected) are already in ‘Floating’ stage, with 

the display showing “FUL”, you can reinitiate manually and immediately the charging algorithm 

from the Bulk stage. To do so, you need to reset the unit by disconnecting the AC power that feeds 

the charger, and then, the battery positive on CH1 as well. Wait until the display goes off, and then 

reconnect both the CH1 positive and the AC-Input power.  

Understanding the Error Codes

Error codes will be shown on the display when either an internal fault such as 

high internal 

temperature

 or external fault like AC 

input voltage out of range

 is detected. The unit will shut 

down.
