Installation • Operation
NOTICE During normal operation, the flashing
'Pump Status' LED indicates that the pump has run in
your absence. See Table II, Operating Code Displays.
6. Press and hold 'System Test' button. All LEDs will
light up, pump will run and buzzer will sound.
Release the button and LEDs should go off, pump
should stop, buzzer should stop.
7. The 'Battery Status' LED indicates the battery
capacity when the A.C. power is off.
A. Continuously 'ON" - the battery voltage is
above 10.9 Volts Direct Current (10.9VDC) and
capacity is above 20%.
B. Slow Beep/Slow LED Flash - the battery's
capacity is between 0 and 20%.
C. Fast Beep/Fast LED Flash - the battery is severely
discharged. The battery will continue to charge
(as long as the 115V AC power to the charger is
on) at the rate of .5 AH until the battery's charge
is above 20%.
When the first warning occurs (slow beep/slow
flash), you will have approximately 2 hours (or less)
of pump operation left. The actual time of operation
will depend on the condition of the battery and may
be as little as 15 minutes.
8. Connect the Power Supply cable (supplied) to the
Charger/Controller's Power Input jack.
LE D Display and Control Buttons
NOTICE When the unit is first plugged in, or when it first
receives power from the battery, the Battery Status LED
will flash for 3 seconds.
See Tables II, III, IV and V later in this manual for
Operating Code Displays, LED Function Displays, Error
Code Displays, and Control Button Functions.
NOTICE To activate any Control Button, depress and
hold it for 1 second.
Possible Remedies to Battery Problems
1. Wrong Battery Voltage
Reconnect charger to a 12 volt battery.
2. Reversed Battery Connections
Check all connections. The negative (black) on the
battery must connect to the negative (black) on
the charger, and the positive on the battery must
connect to the positive on the charger. Reversing the
battery connections will cause the 'System Alert' and
'Silenced Audible Alarm' LEDs to flash.
3. Thermal Runaway Condition
"Thermal Runaway" is the technical term for the
condition of the battery when some (or all) of the
cells have deteriorated to the point that they won't
take a charge. In this case, replace the battery.
4. Charge Time Monitor – 1 and 2
Battery took too long to complete its charge. The
'Charge Time Monitor' will shut down the charger
after 84 hours of continuous charging.
Possible causes are:
A) Pump ran for a long period of time during
charging, or
B) Battery is too large for the charger (including
several batteries connected in a parallel circuit).
Apply the formula in Table I to determine whether
or not your battery is too large for the charger. If the
calculated charging time is more than 84 hours, use
a smaller battery (or group of batteries).
Example 1:
130 Ampere Hours
130H
2
Less than 84 hours to charge; OK to use.
Example 2:
160 Ampere Hours
160H
2
Capacity too large – use a battery of 130A-H or less.
NOTICE A 100AH battery in good condition should
charge in approximately 62 hours.
TABLE I – Battery Capacity Calculation
5. Excessive Battery Drain
Pump may have run for a very long time, discharging
the battery. In this case:
A) If 115VAC power is OFF, the charger shuts down
until the power comes back on, but the pump
will run as long as the battery charge lasts. You
may need to replace the battery if the battery
does accept a charge.
B) If 115VAC power is ON, the charger/controller
continues to try to charge the battery at a
charging rate of .5 AH until the battery charge is
more than 20%, at which point the charger will
resume charging at a rate of 2 AH.
C) If the pump is running and the AC power is on,
you may need to stop the pump to allow the
battery to charge.
