Alert Screens and Diagnostics (continued)
AC Input Voltage Too Low
The minimum input voltage for the P12 Battery Charger is 90V AC. However, due to common voltage sags caused by spikes in power, the internal hardware of the P12 Battery Charger can continue to charge for brief periods below 90V AC. If the AC input voltage drops below 75V AC, the alert screen on the right will appear. While in this state the charger will cease to charge any batteries. Shut off power at the AC source for two minutes, and then restart. If the alert screen persists, attempt to use a different AC power source, or contact an electrician to diagnose the problem.
P12
7521 AND 7522 BATTERY CHARGERS
AC Input Voltage too Low
Check for Proper AC Source
AC Input Voltage Too High
The maximum input voltage for the P12 Battery Charger is 265V AC. If the input voltage is above 265V AC the alert screen on the right will appear. In this state the charger will cease to charge any batteries. Shut off power at the AC source for two minutes and then restart. If the alert screen persists, attempt to use a different AC power source, or contact an electrician to diagnose the problem.
AC Input Voltage Too High Check for Proper AC Source
DC Output Voltage Too High
If at any point the charger detects a DC output voltage greater than 17.8V DC for five seconds, then the alert screen on the right will appear. In this state the charger will cease to charge any batteries in order to prevent damage. Shut off AC power for two minutes, and then restart. If the alert screen persists, shut off AC power and contact Blue Sea Systems for further assistance.
DC Output Voltage Too High
Charger is off to prevent damage
Disconnect AC for 2 mins. then restart
DC Fuse
The P12 Battery Charger has two internal DC fuses that are not accessible by the user. If the DC Fuse Alert Screen appears, disconnect AC power and all battery connections. The battery charger will require servicing by Blue Sea Systems. No attempts should be made to replace the fuses by the user. Contact Blue Sea Systems for further instructions regarding DC fuse replacement.
CAUTION
Any attempt to replace the DC fuses will void warranty.
Internal Fuse Failure.

Hardware Failure
There are many complex internal electrical components on the P12 Battery Charger. If any of the vital hardware components fail the Hardware Failure Alert Screen will appear. Shut off AC power for two minutes, and then attempt to restart. If there is no longer a Hardware Failure Alert Screen, proceed to use the charger normally. If the Hardware Failure Alert Screen persists, disconnect AC power and all battery connections, and contact Blue Sea Systems for further assistance.
Hardware Fault
Turn Off AC For 2 Minutes
Then Turn Power On
Equalization Overload
If at any point during equalization the total output current of the battery charger is greater than the defined Maximum Equalization Current the Equalization Overload Alert Screen will appear. To correct, confirm batteries are fully charged, and all loads are turned off prior to equalization. If mandatory
WARNING
Increasing the Maximum Equalization Current beyond your battery manufacturers recommendations is potentially dangerous. Consult your battery manufacturer for proper equalization currents.
