Signet Model Hbs Charger - Taylor-Dunn BT-280 Series Operator's Manual

Signet Model HBS Charger

NOTICE
This charger is rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation (nominal). When switching from
one input voltage to the other, wait until all LED's are off. Switching voltage when any
of the LED's are on will result in damage to the charger.
NOTICE
Sealed Lead Acid batteries (SLA) must be charged with a charger configured for SLA
batteries. Use of any other charger will result in damage and premature failure of the
batteries.
The model Signet chargers are designed as automatic chargers. The charger turns itself on when it
is plugged into the wall outlet and turns off when the batteries are fully charged. Once the charging
cycle is complete, the charger will monitor the battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below a
threshold value, then the charger will turn on again for a short cycle to keep the batteries topped off.
There is a status light panel on the charger faceplate that displays the current status of the charger.
The first light on the left (POWER) should be ON when the AC cord is connected to a working AC
power source.
The three STATUS LED lights will indicate the current charging
condition as follows:
• Left: Charge cycle is ON and is in constant current mode.
• Left & Middle (80%): Charge cycle is ON and is in constant
voltage mode.
• Right (100%): Charge cycle completed.
The FAULT light will turn ON and flash a fault code only when an abnormal charging condition has
occurred. Should a fault occur, diagnosis and repair should be referred to a qualified technician.
Note: Some faults may also be accompanied with an audible beeping from the charger.
