Use a known, good battery to troubleshoot any potential issues with the incoming power to PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD. Always complete
all troubleshooting to identify the cause of the problem.

• Vehicle on with shore power disconnected
• Vehicle off with shore power connected
• Vehicle off with shore power disconnected
• Any other scenarios that may affect incoming voltage
1. Place the trolley and cot into the transport position.
2. Make sure that the trolley and cot batteries begin to charge and continue for at least three minutes.
NNoottee
• The trolley and cot battery LEDs flash green when charging.
• The cot battery LED will turn off after 20 seconds of inactivity. After three minutes, press any of the cot control switch
buttons to check that the LED is still flashing green.
• If the product shuts off during troubleshooting, charge the battery (or batteries, if applicable) and confirm voltage
before you continue.
3. Check the incoming voltage to the anchor.
a. Remove the anchor inductive primary cover.
b. Using a multimeter, check the vehicle-to-anchor cable (639000010135) voltage.
c. After you confirm the anchor voltage, see the table below to determine any charging-related issues.

≥ 12.7V Charging Required anchor voltage to charge
the batteries (cot and trolley)
< 12.2V Charging time limited If the system was charging (started
at or above 12.7V) but the voltage
dropped below 12.2V, the system
will begin a charging time out.
Charging will stop after two hours.
NNoottee -- If the voltage increases to >
12.5V, the battery will continue
charging and the time out will be
cancelled.
< 11.7V Not charging Charging stops
< 11.0V N/A Anchor electronics enter a sleep
state
Common causes of insufficient voltage include:
• Preferred method wasn’t used during wiring installation (see the Floor Plate Installation Instructions)
• Circuit fuse/resettable breaker was blown or tripped
• Poor or partial connections between the product and vehicle
• Poor or partial connections between the vehicle-to-anchor cable and anchor
• Nicked or cut wiring
• Corrosion
