simply plug in the DC cord set to activate the unit. The charger then automatically charges the battery, and also monitors the battery condition determining the proper charge profile and the correct finish phase before automatically terminating the charge when the battery is fully charged. 3. User Safety Operations Guide WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. WORKING WITH LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. EXPLOSIVE GASES DEVELOP DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
Be extra cautious not to drop a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion. Remove personal metal items such as rings, necklaces, watches, etc. Batteries can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld such items causing a severe burn. NEVER charge a frozen battery. Thaw it out for safer and more efficient charging. 4.
WARNING: CHARGERS CAN IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND VAPORS. DO NOT USE NEAR FUELS, GRAIN DUST, SOLVENTS, OR OTHER FLAMMABLES. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK, KEEP THE CHARGER DRY. DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN. FOR STORAGE, KEEP THE CHARGER IN A BUILDING. 5. Grounding Instructions This battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an AC cord set having an equipment-grounding conductor.
Upon connection to Battery Pack, ALL FIVE L.E.D.s flash on, then off, up to 4 times. The charger is communicating the Mode Setting to you. Simply count the number of times you see ALL FIVE L.E.D.s turn on, and off. Batteries are a ‘designed component’ and the materials used in their construction determines its charge characteristic and also its suitability to your application. NEVER assume differing battery types are equal in performance or charge requirements.
Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire, property damage or personal injury. Have your distributor, dealer or other qualified service agent, repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Repairs should not be attempted by people who are not qualified. 6.3 Connect the DC cord set plug to the charging receptacle by grasping the plug body or handle and pushing the plug straight into the receptacle. Then connect charger’s AC cord set to AC power.
The Mode Select is annunciated by the number of times you see all five L.E.D.s flash on and off, at the beginning of power-up. If you count ‘4’ flashes, this indicates Mode-4 operation. 5-Stage Charging Process works as follows: 7.1. STAGE ONE - PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST 7.1.1. Yellow, Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.), flashes on and off SLOWLY at a rate of once every 2 seconds during this stage. This stage applies tests to the battery pack.
active to monitor battery voltage keeps a record of elapsed time. The charger’s DC cord set can now be disconnected from the charging receptacle by grasping the plug body or handle and pulling the plug straight out of the receptacle. 7.5. RECYCLE CHARGE STAGE FIVE 7.5.1. Only after the completion of Stage 4, and after 28 days of time has elapsed, the charger will reset itself; thereby automatically initiating a new charge cycle routine and restoring battery to full capacity.
CAUTION: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER CORDS, PLUGS, AND CHARGING RECEPTACLE, DO NOT PULL ON ANY OF THE CHARGER’S CORDS. DO NOT TWIST, ROCK, OR PULL THE PLUGS FROM THEIR MATING RECEPTACLES SIDEWAYS. 9. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE To be able to troubleshoot safely and effectively, it is important to read this guide completely before beginning any tests. WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE CHARGER. TAKE IT TO A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT WHEN SERVICE OR REPAIR IS REQUIRED.
Battery Voltage High. Charger’s DC cord set possibly connected to a battery pack with voltage higher than the output rating of the charger. Battery Polarity Reversed. Check output connector and ensure proper polarity. Remake connections. Output Overload. While charging, and, for example, under severe motor loading, charger may shut down. This error is not very likely to occur. Charge Level Unbalanced. Caused by unbalanced battery condition.
to become unbalanced and may cause permanent damage to charger or cause excessive battery gassing and/or personal bodily or property damage. Never use charger for any purpose contrary to its intended purpose of charging lead acid batteries in accordance with ALL instructions printed in this manual. TECHNICAL NOTES (IMPORTANT) Do not charge more than one battery pack at a time. Battery pack characteristics differ and may cause the charger’s microprocessor to function improperly.
