General Information
CHARGER POWER CONNECTION FUSE
The charger receptacle harness has an in-line, 30-amp fuse located near the solenoid.
CHARGER INTERLOCK
External Charger: While the charger DC cord is plugged into the vehicle, the vehicle control circuit is locked out,
preventing operation of the vehicle, as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
Onboard Charger: While the charger AC cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, the vehicle control circuit is locked
out, preventing operation of the vehicle, as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
AC INPUT VOLTAGE DETECTION
The high-frequency charger automatically detects the AC input voltage and will operate at full power if the voltage is
within the 100 to 240 VAC range. The charger also will function outside of that range down to 85 VAC and up to 270
VAC although charging times will be longer. Outside of the 85 to 270 VAC range, the charger will not operate.
THERMAL CUTBACK
The charger operates at full power in ambient temperatures between -40 °F (-40 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C). The charger
also will function outside of that range although charging times will be longer.
CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT
Excel System vehicles with ERIC Charging system feature a dash mounted charge indicator light (below the steering
column) that serves two functions: 1) Battery low state of charge warning, and 2) Charging confirmation. The charge
indicator light is controlled by pin 11 of the controller.
Battery Low State of Charge Warning
• The light comes on and remains solid when the battery state of charge falls below 20%.
• The light begins flashing when the battery state of charge falls below 10%.
Charging Confirmation
• The light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will sound three times to indicate a battery
charging session has begun. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The number of flashes and beeps can vary depending on the Beep Option setting. See Beep Option,
Section 11, Page 11-8.
CHARGER STATUS INDICATORS
The indicator lights on the charger provides information concerning charger status.
