Accessing Charger Information

The XC Series can give you a lot of information about the status of the charger and the batteries.

Reading Remote Display and Onboard Status Indicator Lights

The remote display and onboard status panel show what is happening during the charging process and are also helpful in troubleshooting. Refer to Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for more information about interpreting the remote display and onboard status indicator lights.

The remote display is designed to report on the active status of the charger. While the unit is charging, the remote display reports only on the battery being charged at that moment. It does not report the status of other batteries.

The Ready light on the onboard status indicator panel only illuminates when all connected banks have reached float ( ) of 3-stage charging or rest ( ) of 2- stage charging. If one of the three batteries has been disqualified before it reaches float/rest stage, while the others have reached float ( ) of 3-stage charging or rest

( ) of 2-stage charging, the Ready light on the onboard status indicator panel will

notrdyilluminate.
