Error Modes
The Pinnacle+ features a self-diagnostic mode with the following error codes:
• “ERR1” A short circuit or the safety fuse is burned out
• “ERR2” An error has occurred in the charging process (loose connection, contacts or current is adjusted after
the initial 30-second start up mode)
• “ERR6” The peak charge is abnormal because the voltage is too low
• “ERR” The power supply is insufficient (below 10V)
Note : “ERR6” and “ERR” will only occur when using a 12V power source. To cancel error modes, disconnect the
batteries from the charger.
Supplying DC Power to the Pinnacle+
The Pinnacle+ is powered by connecting it to a 12V DC power source, such as a 12V sealed battery (HAN102),
a 12V automobile battery (car must be not be running) or through your field box power panel. The battery capacity
must be over 5Ah.
The Pinnacle+ can also be powered from a standard 110V AC outlet.
12V DC connections:
Step 1 . Attach the red (positive) banana plug to the red (positive) terminal on your 12V battery or power panel.
Step 2 . Attach the black (negative) banana plug to the black (negative) terminal. Alligator clips have been included to
power your charger with a 12V hobby battery. Once your charger is given power, it will beep once and the LCD
will show 28V when voltmeter is selected, which is normal.
