Faults / Warnings
In the event of a problem occurring, the charger

x Faults 1 to 3 are critical faults and will
prevent charging.
x Fault 5 is likely to indicate an internal
charger fault.
x Faults 6 to 8 occur when a particular stage
of charge takes too long. This indicates that
the battery might be at fault or have been
over discharged.
x Fault 9 may occur if the charger is in an
ambient temperature above 55°C or airflow
is restricted. Charge stops under these
conditions until the charger has cooled
sufficiently.
x Fault 10 will occur if an invalid switch
combination is used.
x Fault 11 will occur if the optional safety
disconnect system wiring is damaged.
Note: Fault 1 will only be shown for 5 minutes.
After this the charge status indicator will switch
off. The display can be re-activated by pressing
the pause button.
