  • Page 4 point. These recharge cycles continue until the charging current reaches the minimum charging current to complete the charging process. 4.7 Digital alarm input: 0.0V – 2.0V: Charging stopped 2.5V – 12.0V: Enable charging or resume charging 4.8 When both CAN and the digital control signals are available the charger is controlled by the CAN communication signal.
  • Page 5 5.3 CAN and Digital Input Controls A five wire connector connects to the charger for interfacing with the BMS. Three wires have a white connector attached, these three wires are the CAN interface. The other two wires are labeled “+ 12V” and “- 12V”, these wires are the digital input used to control the charger from the EMS CPU.
  • Page 6 12V- Connects to “GND” 12V+ Connects to “OV” For a CAN communication connection connect the CANH, CANL and CAN GND to the matching connection on the CAN connection on the EMS CPU. The white connector may be cut off of the cable; however, note which wires are which before doing so. CANH CANL CAN GND...
  • Page 7 If both the CAN communication and the digital inputs are connected CAN communications will take priority over the digital input for charge control. CAN communications requires the optional CAN board be installed on the EMS CPU.

  • Page 8: Troubleshooting

    *Caution* The EMS CPU has a programming port on it marked “Rx, Tx, RES, VSS”. Do not attempt connect the CAN communication connection to this port! 6. Cautions  Make sure charger voltage output matches to the number of cells in the battery pack. ...
  • Page 9  If charger does not display any LED’s when plugged in and charging does not occur the fuse may be blow. Unplug the charger from the battery pack and AC line and check the fuse by unscrewing the cap with a #2 Philips screw driver. If the fuse is blown replace with an equivalent size fuse of the same voltage and amperage rating.
