Product description In the case of motor/drive faults, the warning signal sounds every second. In the case of an accumulator fault (defective), the warning signal sounds every 2 seconds. In case of an exhaustively discharged/defective accumulator or a defective fuse, the buzzer cannot be switched off, as an intervention must take place.
Page 25
Product description Accumulator check The accumulator is checked permanently for too high charging voltage (accumulator missing, fuse defective, accumulator defective) and low voltage (cell defective, cell of accumulator discharged). Fault signal is carried out in two stages: First stage: The accumulator loses capacity, but is still fully functioning: The red LED 4 (4) flashes every 8 seconds.
Product description 4.4.7 Fuses CAUTION If the accumulator fuse must be exchanged, this may only be carried out by an electrician. Accumulator fuse The accumulator fuse safeguards the fuse against reverse polarity of the accumulator. If the fuse responds, cabling of the accumulator must be checked and a new fuse be inserted.
