SAFETY RULES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Signet Charger Operation, Model HBS series

The Signet ® HBS series chargers are fully automatic. The charger
will turn itself ON when the AC power cord is connected to the AC
power source and turn itself OFF when the batteries are fully charged.
Once the charge cycle is complete, the charger will continue to
monitor the batteries. If the battery voltage drops during storage, the
charger will start a new cycle to keep the batteries fully charged.
NOTE: If the charger restarts during a short time period of storage, then
it would be an indication of faulty batteries.
Refer to the data plate on the charger for the voltage and type power
required for the charger.
There is a series of LED's on the faceplate of the charger that serve
two functions:
1. Status of charge. The STATUS LED's will display an
approximate percent of charge during the charging cycle.
Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. The FAULT LED flashing is an indication of
a charging problem (charger may also be beeping). Refer to
the Charger Troubleshooting section for information on
error codes.

Lestronic II Charger Operation

The Lestronic II ® charger is a semi-automatic
charging system. The charger will turn itself ON
when the AC power cord is connected to the AC
power source and turn itself OFF when the
batteries are fully charged. Refer to the data plate
on the charger for the voltage and type power
required for the charger. When plugged in, the
charger assumes that the batteries require
charging and will charger for a minimum of
approximately 4-hours. This charger should not
be plugged in until the batteries are discharged
beyond 50% or the batteries may be
overcharged..

New Battery Break in

New batteries require a break in period of up to
40-cycles. The batteries will not have their full
capacity during this break in period and may require
longer charging times.

Charging Time

Average charging time is 8 to 10-hours. The time
required to fully charge your batteries will vary
depending on:
•
Capacity of the batteries, higher capacity
requires longer charge time.
•
Output of the charger, higher output requires
less charge time.
•
Depth of discharge, the deeper a battery is
discharged, the longer it takes to charge.
•
Temperature, low temperatures require longer
charge time.
It is not unusual for charge times to exceed 15-hours,
especially with new batteries.
Charging time is limited to 20-hours (HBS) or 18-
hours (HB). A fault will occur if the charging time
exceeds the 20-hour limit.
