5 Operation
Fast charging dramatically reduces the time to recharge a battery to a high state of charge. Fast charging makes it
possible to opportunity charge during available breaks, shift changes and other idle time and keep a vehicle running
all day long without changing batteries. In most two- and three-shift operations, fast charging can eliminate the need
for a battery changing room, freeing up floor space and personnel for productive activities and reducing battery
inventory by up to 65%. Fast charging also increases productivity by eliminating down time for battery changing and
avoiding low voltage operation that can reduce vehicle performance.
5.1 System Start Up
Once the system has been properly installed (mechanically and electrically) it is ready to be powered. When you first
power up your DVS 400 Fast Charging System, it will perform a lamp test. The display will then show the initial
status screen containing the model number and the software version. The DVS 400 will then sequence through the
two more status screens before reaching “Charger Ready Connect Vehicle”. See
Figure 5.1. When initialization is complete, the screens for each charge port will alternate. Note that there is an
arrow in the upper left or right corner of the screen indicating which channel’s data is currently being displayed.
