6. Alarms

6.1. Charger Related Alarms

Main Switch

Shows the status of the front panel
start/stop switch. Default: Urgent

Inlet Filter

Can give a warning as to when the
inlet filter needs servicing.
Default:Disabled

Low Mains

Indicates non-critical variation in the
input mains voltage. May also indicate
an overloaded charger module.
Default:Non-Urgent

Mains Fail

A mains supply loss situation and the
charge cannot proceed. Default:
Urgent

Non-Urgent Rectifier Fail

The charger is operating but a charger
module has stopped, causing
redundancy to be lost. Reduced power
output and longer charge time as a
result. Default:Non-Urgent

Urgent Rectifier Fail

If the number of power modules not
providing output equals or exceeds the
setting for urgent module count in
Charger Interface monitor tab then the
charger will stop. If the urgent module
count is set to one then the charger is
configured without redundancy and a
single fault will stop the charge.
Default: Urgent

Module Over Temperature

Normally related to a blocked filter,
restricted exhaust air or installation in
an inappropriate location. Default:
Urgent

Configuration Error

Charger cannot meet the target current
required by the controller even with all
fitted power modules operating. The
configuration does not meet the limits
set for a 10A or 15A mains input
hardware limited charger. Default:
Urgent

Output Fuse

Typically blown output fuses caused by
connecting a reverse polarity battery to
the charger. Check all cells for a
reversed cable connection. After
replacing a battery or charger cable
always check the polarity before
plugging the battery into the charger.
Default: Urgent

No Output Current

Charger is not providing the expected
output current. Generally related to a
premature disconnection of the
battery, but also could be an
incorrectly inserted power module.
Default: Urgent

Monitor ADC Fail

Internal checks on the MPC board
indicate potential problems. MPC board
should be tested and/or replaced.
Default: Urgent

APC Communications Fail

The battery module has failed to
communicate with the charger.
Default: Urgent

APC Incorrect Voltage

Charger cannot produce the voltage
required by the battery module.
Default: Urgent

APC Unknown Charger

Charger cannot find the required profile
required by the battery module.
Default: Urgent

APC Water Level Low

For battery module equipped batteries,
indicates the Electrolyte Sensor has
detected a low level of electrolyte.
Default:Non-Urgent

APC Voltage Imbalance

For battery module equipped batteries,
indicates the midpoint voltage varies
from nominal by more than 0.5V.
Battery module will schedule an
equalize charge to rectify this
variation. Default:Non-Urgent
