2.2 Charger Status Block
The XM Series power module is equipped with a dual mode, temperature-compensated
battery charger. The "CHARGER STATUS" block is broken into categories to reflect the
different charging modes:
2.2.1 "CHARGE MODE" Switch
The "CHARGE MODE" switch is used to manually sequence the battery charger
through float and equalize modes. On non-APM units, equalize can only be initiated by
pressing the "CHARGE MODE" switch. Equalize is an automatic feature on units
equipped with APM and USM logic upgrades.
2.2.2 "FLOAT" (green) LED
The green "FLOAT" LED indicates that the battery charger is delivering a float charge
to the batteries.
2.2.3 "EQUALIZE" (yellow) LED
The yellow "EQUALIZE" LED indicates that the battery charger is delivering an
equalize charge to the batteries. On units equipped with standard logic, equalize can only
be activated manually and lasts for approximately 1.2 hours. On units equipped with APM
or USM logic upgrades, equalize can be activated either automatically (pre-selected
duration and interval) or manually.
2.2.4 "RECHARGE" (red) LED
The red "RECHARGE" LED indicates that the batteries are drawing more than 5 Amps
of current from the charger. The charge current is determined by the acceptance level of
the batteries, but limited to 10 Amps maximum. As the batteries approach full charge, the
charger’s current tapers off to normal float. The red LED is ON only when the charge
current exceeds 5 Amps in either float or equalize modes.
