Battery gases. Explosion can cause severe injury or death. Incorrect use of the equalize charge state may lead to hazardous
situations. Equalization is ONLY applicable for flooded lead acid (FLA) type batteries and will damage gel, absorbed glass mat
(AGM), or nickel‐cadmium (NiCad) type batteries. In the controller menu or SiteTech™ settings, verify that the battery topology
is set correctly for the battery type used. Do not smoke or permit flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition to occur near a
battery at any time.
Battery charger menus are available on Decision-Maker
on APM402 controllers.
Battery Charger 1 and 2 menus provide battery charger information and metering. Use this menu to view the charger output
metering and charger states.
Note:
Incorrect charger output system voltage may cause irreversible damage to the battery and abnormal out gassing. Ensure that
the battery charger parameters match the battery manufacturer's specifications before using. In the controller user interface
settings, verify that the battery topology and system voltage is set correctly for the battery type that is used.
Note:
The battery charger menus are designed to work with charger GM87448. Unless connected to charger GM87448 through CAN
