2.1.9 Charge Indications
The following indications are not necessarily a result of a charger problem. They are typically caused by external problems such as AC line, poor battery conditions, connections, etc. If abnormal charge conditions are detected, the charge is terminated, the red fault LED lights and the display shows:
DISPLAY DESCRIPTION
F0 Battery voltage did not reach 2.00 V/C within 30 SHORTED minutes. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of charge
CELL and ##:##HM is the charge time.
#.##VC
##:##HM
F1 Battery did not reach gassing voltage within the
SHORTED allowable time. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of CELL charge and ##:##HM is the charge time.
#.##VC
##:##HM
F3 LOW Low battery voltage, less than 1.60 V/C at start up. VOLTS ###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the battery
###A volts per cell.
#.##VC
F4 HIGH High battery voltage, more than 2.40 V/C at start up. VOLTS ###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the battery
###A volts per cell.
#.##VC
F5 NO DC No charging current to the battery. ###A is the current CURRENT at the end of charge and #.##VC is the volts per cell at
###A end of charge.
#.##VC
F6
F7 LONG Long charge, the charger ran longer than the allowed CHARGE time. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of charge and
#.##VC ##:##HM is the charge time.
##:##HM
F8 Charger stayed on when control requested it to shut off. CHARGER ###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the battery
ON volts per cell.
###A
#.##VC
F9 BAD Faulty keypad detected. One or more buttons are stuck KEYPAD on. ###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the
###A battery volts per cell.
#.##VC
F10 HIGH Charging current exceeds 110% of shunt setting. ###A
CURRENT is the current at the end of charge and #.##VC is the
###A volts per cell at end of charge.
#.##VC
