Accessing Charger Information
Reporting Without AC Power or While on
Standby
If AC power has been disconnected or if you have used the optional remote
panel to place the Truecharge2 Battery Charger on Standby mode, the
onboard display (and the optional remote panel, if installed) LEDs will be
turned off to conserve battery power. However, present settings and battery
status can be viewed momentarily by pressing the Status button on the
optional remote panel to initialize a view cycle that will show the status of
the batteries.
The remote panel LEDs will turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Indicator LEDs on the Onboard Display Panel
All indicator LEDs on the Onboard Display panel (and the optional remote
panel, if installed) will illuminate for one second when AC or DC power is
supplied to the Truecharge2 Battery Charger or when the charger is turned
on using the
ON/STANDBY button on the remote panel. A “power on” test
indicates that the charger is now receiving AC power, and all LEDs are
functioning.
The Truecharge2 Battery Charger will recover from fault conditions
automatically when the cause of the fault or warning has disappeared.
Under fault conditions, the charging process will be stopped, allowing
either the charger or the battery or both to return within acceptable
operating ranges. See “Specifications” on page 54 for more information on
normal operating ranges.
To interrupt or cease the charging process, disconnect the AC power source
from the charger. If you have the optional remote panel, you can put the
charger in Standby mode by pressing the
ON/STANDBY button to interrupt
the charging process.
