The Linx Battery Gauge - Golden Technologies Compass Sport GP605 Service Manual

The LiNX Battery Gauge

The battery gauge comprises five different LEDs (1 x RED, 2 x AMBER, 2 x GREEN), located above the horn
button. The number of LEDs lit depends on the status of the battery, as shown below. The battery gauge LEDs
are also used to display charging information.

Battery Charging
The battery gauge will indicate the system is being charged by cycling between a
left-to-right chase sequence and then display the approximate battery charge state at
the end of the chase sequence.
Driving is prevented (inhibited) while the system is being charged.
The system does not have to be powered up when charging the battery, however, if it is
not powered up, then the battery gauge will not display the charging state/chase sequence.
The following indicates what the gauge will display for any given state.
High voltage warning
A high voltage warning is indicated by all LEDs on, and the green LEDs flashing. This occurs
when the battery voltage level has risen above the high voltage warning set-point.
Low voltage warning
A low voltage warning is indicated with the left-most LED flashing. This occurs when the
battery voltage level has dropped below its low voltage warning set-point. Charge the batteries immediately.
Cut-off voltage
When the battery voltage drops below the battery cut-off voltage:
 The first (red) LED will flash on the battery gauge.
 The status indicator (under the power button) will display a flash code 2 or 7.
 The horn will sound once every 10 seconds.
