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 35 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 the charger is plugged in to a public
outlet especially if there is no easy access to the electrical panel for that circuit.
Additionally, the user might need to turn down the charger if there are other loads on
the branch circuit (example: A stereo and a computer are running on the same 15
amp circuit). If using a charger equipped with the panel mount meter, the user can
check the digital current meter on the front of the PFC unit and see exactly how
many amps the charger is drawing off of the AC line.
“LIMITS
” - Yellow LED
The yellow LIMITS LED indicates that the charger has reached its peak voltage limit.
This should happen only at the end of the charge cycle when all the batteries are
fully charged. The LIMITS indicator should be accompanied by the blinking blue
TIMER LED which indicates that the charger is in current cutback mode and the
timer is counting down to the end of charge.
If the yellow LIMITS LED is blinking, then it is indicating that there is an over
temperature condition and the charger is in thermal cutback mode.
NOTE: When using regulators, the blue TIMER LED will often come on before the
LIMITS LED because the battery regulators let the charger know when the batteries
are getting full before the voltage limit is reached. If the LIMITS light is coming on
frequently or before most of the regs are blinking, this could be indicative of a few
batteries whose voltages are getting too high. It could also mean that someone has
improperly adjusted the VOLTS TRIM. Consult your battery regulator user’s manual
or recalibrate the VOLTS TRIM setting on the charger.
“TIMER
” - Blue LED
The blue TIMER LED indicates that the charge is complete or near completion. If it
is flashing it means that charging is almost finished and the charger is backing off
the current and counting down the timeout timer. When the blue LED is steady, it
means that the timeout timer has ended and the charger has finished charging the
pack. At this point the charger should be putting out no power and drawing less than
an amp off the input line.
