  • Page 18 Battery Alarms Finishing Charge Timeout. Non-Urgent Alarm, the battery has exceeded the maximum time allowed for the finishing part of the charge cycle. Generally not a major problem and indicates the battery did not quite perform as expected. Not uncommon with new batteries that are still cycling up to full capacity (allow 10 cycles) however if the alarm is a regular occurrence it needs investigation and possible adjustment of the charger or service of the battery.
  • Page 19 Maximum Cell Voltage. Non-Urgent Alarm, occurs when the voltage per cell exceeds the value set in the profile settings. Typically 2.7V per cell for lead acid batteries. Batt Over Temp - Start. Urgent Alarm, occurs when the battery temperature measured before a charge profile starts exceeds the value set in the controller settings.

    Maintenance Provided it is correctly installed in an appropriate location and is not abused, the charger will require little maintenance. The only requirement is to monitor the air inlet filter at the front of the charger for dirt accumulation. The charger modules internal to the charger housing require a good supply of cooling air during the charge cycle and a blocked filter will affect the cooling.
