Item Description

1Charging Output (%) LEDs

•The LEDs illuminate like a bar graph displaying the present total output charge current as a percentage of the maximum rated charge current. For example, unit model TC4012 has a maximum rated charge current of 40 A so at 60% the charger’s current output is 24 A. The numbers below the LEDs represent the percentage values. See “Reading Onboard Display LEDs” on page 41.

NOTE: When the maximum Charge Output current is limited via the optional remote panel, the LEDs will still display the total charge output current as a percentage of the maximum rated charge current and NOT as a percentage of the limited charge current.

•One or two LEDs may flash intermittently in combination with a solid Fault LED (indicating a fault) or with a flashing Fault LED (indicating a warning). The icons above the LEDs represent the various types of fault and warning conditions. See “Reading Onboard Display LEDs” on page 41.
