LED Indicator
RED LED shows that the battery is in the initial charging phase.
YELLOW LED shows that the battery charger has reached 80% of charge.
GREEN LED shows that the battery has reached 100% of charge.
Further information can be found in the description of the Charging Curve.
Example: RED LED on with brief blinks indicates a constant tension phase.
Alarms (Two-tone audible message)
An two-tone audible message and the flashing LED shows that an Alarm situation has occurred:

Thermal Sensor and/or External Indicator
Thermal Sensor and External Indicator are Options that have to be connected to the 5 poles socket 180°.
Unless otherwise stated, the compensation of the Battery Voltage in
function of the temperature of the Thermal Sensor is of -5mV/°C for
battery cell.
The control range of the Thermal Sensor goes from -20°C to +50°C.
The External Indicator reflects exactly the LED Indicator which is placed
on the equipment.
Further information can be found in the description of the Charging
Curve.
