    FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN There are 4 small LEDs on the PC board to help diagnose problems: Diagnostic – this is the “heartbeat” of the system. When only this LED is slowly flashing, the system has not detected any failures. If it is lit but not flashing, the board is defective. If its not lit, either no power is applied, or the board is defective.
  • Page 17 Ground Missing: Lit when the unit has detected a missing Service Ground. The 40 amp Charger will not close the contactor until a proper Service Ground has been connected. The front panel Red PROTECTION light will be lit, and the Diagnostic LED will be flashing at a faster rate. Note: If a missing ground is discovered, power should be turned off before re-connecting the ground.
