Great Planes Triton Charger - GPMM3150 - Manual (Page 17)

A built-in miniature fan helps to keep all internal components cool during operation.
This will help extend the service life of the charger, as well as allow the charger to
function more accurately and efficiently. The fan will operate during the following
conditions:
A.
During discharge.
B. During charge, if the internal temperature exceeds 122°F, if output power
exceeds 30W, if output current exceeds 2.5A, or if charging a single cell or packs
containing 2 or 3 cells.
C. Anytime the internal temperature exceeds 212°F the charger will stop all charge
or discharge functions until the temperature drops below 158°F. The fan will
continue to run until the temperature of the charger drops below 113°F.
D. Anytime the fan turns on it will operate until the charge or discharge function is
finished unless the internal temperature still exceeds 113°F.
CAUTION: Do not block the vent holes for the cooling fan as an overheating
condition could result, possibly causing permanent damage to the charger.
The ElectriFly Triton Charger uses solid-state circuitry to protect against potential
damage which could be caused by short-circuit or reverse polarity conditions.
REVERSE INPUT POLARITY: If input power to the charger is connected in reverse
polarity, the charger will be protected from damage but will not function. Re-check all
input connections and the power source to ensure the proper power and polarities
are observed.
BATTERY CONDITION PRE-CHECK: Any time a battery is connected to the output
the charger will instantly check the condition of the battery and determine if it is
suitable for conditioning. In all cases, check the connection between the battery and
the charger to ensure a solid physical and electrical connection is made, observing
proper polarities at all times.
1. Battery error: If a problem exists with the battery, the display will read “Output
battery – connect polarity error.” Check the battery for possible problems with its
connector or lead. If repeated attempts to use the same battery result in errors, the
battery may need to be replaced.
2. Polarity error: If a battery is connected in reverse to the output, the display will
show “Output battery – reverse polarity.” Re-check the output connections to ensure
proper polarities are observed.
