Battery Low Voltage Warning Indicators
The Platform Control Console and Ground Control Station indicate battery low voltage at three (3) Warning Levels.
To Charge Batteries
1. Park machine in a well ventilated area near an AC volt-
age electrical outlet.
2. Check the AC voltage selector switch on front of the
battery charger is set to correct local AC voltage.
NOTE: The batteries on DVL/DVSP machines require
approximately five (5) hours to fully charge when
drained to LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE warning on the
Ground Control Module LCD display.
Battery Charging Status Indicators
The battery charging status indicators are located just
above the Charger AC input receptacle on the center
cover section at the rear of the machine. (See Figure 3-2.)
When first plugged in, the charger runs through a self-
diagnostic test, lighting the LEDs in sequence, then charg-
ing will begin.
Table 3-2. Battery Low Voltage Warning Indicators.
IMPORTANT: The 3 Levels of Battery Low Voltage Warning indication will only activate on Ground Control Modules with version 29 or later Ground
Control Module software (implemented 8/2004). However, machines with earlier versions of software must follow the same LED/BAR indicator
guidelines and battery charging cycles to maximize battery life.
