2-6 SOLID RED LED TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Remove battery and reinstall at same location for another charge cycle. Note
battery and adapter location for later review.
2. If charge indications go "red" again at the same location remove battery and do
the following:
a. Check battery: older than 3 yrs? Maybe ready for disposal. Discharge &
recharge, IF RED AGAIN?
b. Check warranty instructions on battery. If not covered or no instructions,
dispose of.
c. Note success/failure of future battery charges at this location. More
"RED" lights? Change adapter.
2-7 OPERATION IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Observe these precautions when the ALT 170C is operated in areas where severe
climatic conditions may exist:
a. Operation in Arctic Climates. The battery charger is designed to function in
temperatures extremes as low as -4°F (-20°C.). The following precautions should be
observed:
(1) Handle equipment carefully. The plastic components may become
more brittle.
(2) Keep equipment clean and dry.
(3) Prevent ice from forming on the ALT 170C and batteries. Ice
formations may prevent proper electrical connections. Melting ice may
cause water to enter the charger.
b. Operation in Desert Climates. The charger is designed to operate in
temperature extremes as high as 122°F (50°C) and the dryness associated with a
desert environment. Sand and dust accumulation on and in the charger may cause
poor electrical connections and reduce the cooling effectiveness of the charger.
Follow proper cleaning and maintenance guidelines to assure proper operation. When
not in use, be sure that cover is fully latched and pressure relief valve is fully closed (in
a clockwise direction).
c. Operation in Salt Spray. Keep equipment clean and dry at all times and
immediately wipe salt spray from exposed surfaces, cables and connectors. When not
in use, be sure that cover is fully latched and pressure relief valve is fully closed (in a
clockwise direction).
NOTE
Battery charge acceptance varies with ambient temperature
conditions. At temperatures lower than 32°F (0°C) or higher than
104°F (40°C) it may be necessary to initiate two complete charging
cycles to secure a fully charged battery.
