3.Restart: If the battery self-discharges below 12.9V for 12V batteries or below 25.7V for 24V batteries while the charger is in standby, the charger cycles into a constant current of 1.0A (4A models)/2.0A (8A models) until the constant voltage setpoint is reached. The unit will regulate and terminate as in Constant Voltage Mode.

2.8Indication Lights

The charger features built in diagnostics. Refer to the table below to interpret the flashing of the yellow and green indicator lights. Flashing of the yellow indicator means that the charging cycle has ended early and the battery may not be fully charged. Refer to the Troubleshooting section to correct these faults.

INSTALLATION

Charger should be securely mounted on a flat surface.

The power cord to the IEC 320/C14 connector should be of the appropriate

 

gauge to carry a 10A current @ 120VAC, or a 5A current @ 230VAC for

 

the cable’s length, to meet the requirements of applicable electrical codes.

• A minimum of 30mm clearance should be provided at each end of the charger for vented models.

• The charger should not be installed in locations which restrict air flow.
