OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the enclosed case design, the charger may be
placed virtually anywhere, but the choice of place-
ment and orientation is extremely important. For
optimum performance and shortest charge times,
place the charger in an area with adequate ventila-
tion. The charger should also be placed in an area
that will be relatively free of dirt, mud, or dust since
accumulations within the fins of the charger will
reduce their heat-dissipating qualities. Optimal cool-
ing also occurs when the charger is placed on a hor-
izontal surface with the fins vertical. More airflow
from below the charger will help cool the fins, so
placement above open areas or areas with cut-outs
for airflow is desirable. As the charger may get hot
in operation, the charger must be placed such that
risk of contact by people is reduced. Wall mount or
shelf mount using #10-M5 screws. The charger's
status display must be visible to the user.
2. Always use a grounded outlet. When using an exten-
sion cord, avoid excessive voltage drops by using a
grounded 3-wire 14 AWG cord.
3. When plugged into the vehicle's charger receptacle,
the charger will automatically turn on and the
charger's LED will start flashing GREEN to indicate
the battery is charging.
4. Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell
(Vpc) is reached, the charger's output current will
change from a trickle current to the full rated charg-
ing current. The length of charge time will vary by
how depleted the battery pack is, the input AC volt-
age, and/or charger ambient temperatures. The
charger's LED will flash a SHORT flash (off more
than on) if charge is <80% and a LONG flash if
>80%.
5. When the charger's LED is continuously GREEN,
the batteries are completely charged. The charger
may now be unplugged from the vehicle. If left
plugged in and the battery pack voltage drops below
a minimum voltage or 30 days has elapsed, the
charger will automatically restart a complete charge
cycle.
6. If a fault occurred anytime during charging, a fault
indication is given by quickly flashing the RED LED
on the charger. The specific fault is indicated on the
charger by flashing RED a number of times, paus-

ing, and then repeating. There are several possible
conditions that generate errors. Some errors require
human intervention to first resolve the problem and
then to reset the charger by unplugging the DC cord
from the vehicle. Others may be simply transient
and will automatically recover when the fault condi-
tion is eliminated. If the AC voltage is interrupted
and restored, the charger will turn back on automati-
cally.
Visual LED Display Information
LED Operation Codes:
SHORT LED flash green = less than 80% charged
LONG LED flash green = more than 80% charged
SOLID LED green = 100% charged
RED LED flash = fault code
LED Fault Code Display Information
LED Fault Code:
0-FLASH RED Light turns on briefly but nothing after
that - Check for valid AC voltage.
1-FLASH RED Charge Enable Fault: Poor contact in
DC connector.
2-FLASH RED Battery Voltage Fault: Battery Pack is
< 27.0V or > 50.4V. Battery is too discharged or
overcharged to be charged.
3-FLASH RED Battery Charge Timeout: Charge time
24hrs. exceeded. This may indicate a problem with
the battery pack (old battery pack) or that the
charger output current was severely reduced due to
high ambient temperatures.
4-FLASH RED Battery Fault: Charge time exceeded.
This indicates a problem with the battery pack volt-
age not attaining the required nominal level within
tmax.
6-FLASH RED Charger Fault: an internal fault has
been detected. If Fault 6 is again displayed after
unplugging and then plugging the DC power cord,
the charger must be brought to a qualified service
center.
