4.8 Restarting the unit after low-voltage battery depletion
The control system and electronics on the unit relies on a 12V battery system. If this
12V battery has been drained, for example, the unit was left on during transit or has
been idle for extended periods, you may need to charge the battery before you can
use the unit.
To charge the 12 V battery, follow these steps:
1. Turn the control dial to
OFF
.
2. Make sure all the switches on the rear of the unit are
OFF
.
3. Confirm that the 12V battery is dead.
l
Take a digital voltmeter and check the diagnostic port for voltage.
l
The control screen does not turn on if the 12V battery is dead or below 9V.
4. Connect a lithium-ion charger to the diagnostic port.
You must use a lithium-ion charger.
Caution
Risk of damage!
You must use a specified Moxion Power-approved cable.
The 12 V power in the SAE J1939 diagnostic port is only intended to
power diagnostic scan tools.
The 12 V has a 10 A fuse.
Contact Moxion Power for more details.
5. Set the charger to the 12V lithium setting.
6. Connect the charger to the diagnostic port on the unit.
7. Charge the battery until your charger states that it is fully charged.
Use a voltmeter to check the level of battery voltage, if applicable. The 12 V
battery is fully charged at 13.6 V.
Caution
Risk of damage!
Do not exceed 5 amps.
8. When the battery is fully charged, turn the
Control
knob to
STANDBY
, and wait
for the system to restart.
9. If the system restarts, disconnect the charger.
The unit maintains the 12V battery charge by recharging it during use.
