“REG BUSS”
This is the 6 pin RJ jack where the BMS communication line plugs into the charger.
This port allows the individual battery regulators to communicate with the charger.
NOTICE! If your vehicle is equipped with a Battery Management System, Ensure
that the reg buss data cable is fully plugged into the charger whenever the vehicle is
charging. The communication data cables are hooked to the regulators in a daisy
chain fashion. Make sure that each of the smaller data cables are all plugged in
where they should be before charging. If there is an unplugged portion of the reg
buss, the charger cannot communicate with the regs and this could lead to
potentially damaging situation if there is an un-matched battery cell in the
pack! The RJ connectors are similar to phone cord connectors and they are
designed to snap into place and stay connected. If a cable is disconnected insure
that it is fully reconnected. An audible *click* should be heard when the RJ plug is
fully inserted and it should not be able to be pulled out without first pinching the
small plastic tab underneath the plug.
“POWER” - Green LED
The bright green POWER LED indicates when the charger is on. Input power
coming in and the main breaker is in the ON position.
“WARN” - Red LED
The red WARN LED should blink briefly when the charger is first powered up and
then remain off for the duration of the charge. If ever this indicator is on, turn down
the AMPS knob immediately, turn off the charger’s breaker switch and consult
Manzanita Micro or a qualified service technician. This LED could indicate an over
voltage or over temperature condition. It could also be indicative of an open in the
pack. Turn down the AMPS knob and check to make sure there is no open in the
battery pack circuit. Check the blue SB-75 Anderson connector to insure that it is
connected and look for other disconnected battery cables. If the charger will not
work, contact the vendor you bought the charger from or Manzanita Micro.
NOTICE! DO NOT let the charger try to put current into the battery pack if there is
an open in the circuit. Never unplug the blue SB-75 Anderson connectors (DC line)
from your charger while it is charging! If the battery pack is disconnected while the
charger is putting out power the charger can be damaged. Failure to heed these
warnings may result in significant internal damage to the charger which is not
covered under your warranty!
“AMPS” Knob
The AMPS knob allows the user to adjust how much current the charger will move.
If the vehicle is always plugged in to the same circuit this shouldn’t need any
adjusting but if the user were to have it set at 50 amps and then plug into a 15 amp
110V outlet it will quickly open a circuit breaker or fuse on the AC line. The vehicle
operator may wish to adjust this knob when plugged in to a public outlet especially if
there is no easy access to the electrical panel for that circuit. Additionally, the user
