Charge Indications - Ferro Q Installation And Operation Manual

Charge Indications

The following indications are not necessarily a result of a charger problem. They are typically caused by
external problems such as AC line, poor battery conditions, connections, etc.
conditions are detected, the charge is terminated, the red fault LED lights and the display shows:
DISPLAY DESCRIPTION
F0
Battery voltage did not reach 2.00 V/C within 30
SHORTED
minutes. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of
CELL
charge and ##:##HM is the charge time.
#.##VC
##:##HM
F1
Battery did not reach gassing voltage within the
SHORTED
allowable time. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end
CELL
of charge and ##:##HM is the charge time.
#.##VC
##:##HM
F3 LOW
Low battery voltage, less than 1.60 V/C at start up.
VOLTS
###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the
###A
battery volts per cell.
#.##VC
F4 HIGH
High battery voltage, more than 2.40 V/C at start
VOLTS
up. ###A is the charger current and #.##VC is the
###A
battery volts per cell.
#.##VC
F5 NO DC
No charging current to the battery. ###A is the
CURRENT
current at the end of charge and #.##VC is the
###A
volts per cell at end of charge.
#.##VC
F6
Charger current or voltage not what was requested
CHARGE
by control.
ERROR
charge and #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of
###A
charge.
#.##VC
F7 LONG
Long charge, the charger ran longer than the
CHARGE
allowed time. #.##VC is the volts per cell at end of
#.##VC
charge and ##:##HM is the charge time.
##:##HM
F8
Charger stayed on when control requested it to
CHARGER
shut off. ###A is the charger current and #.##VC
ON
is the battery volts per cell.
###A
#.##VC
F9 BAD
Faulty keypad detected. One or more buttons are
KEYPAD
stuck on. ###A is the charger current and #.##VC
###A
is the battery volts per cell.
#.##VC
F10 HIGH
Charging current exceeds 110% of shunt setting.
CURRENT
###A is the current at the end of charge and
###A
#.##VC is the volts per cell at end of charge.
#.##VC
