checked for correct polarity BEFORE plugging onto the lift
truck or a charger.

Minimum dV/dt - Non-urgent

Details the change in battery voltage over time. The alarm
occurs when the change in voltage exceeds the value set in
the profile settings. This alarm also indicates the
termination of a successful charge.

Maximum Cell Voltage - Non-urgent

Occurs when the voltage per cell exceeds the value set in
the profile settings. Typically 2.7V per cell for lead acid
batteries.

Batt Over Temp – Start -

Urgent

Occurs when the battery temperature measured before a
charge profile starts exceeds the value set in the controller
settings. This alarm will not allow the charge profile to
continue.

Batt Over TempCharge - Non-urgent

Occurs when the battery temperature measured during a
charge profile exceeds the value set in the controller
settings. This alarm will allow the charge profile to
complete.

+dI/dt -

Urgent

Occurs when the measured current in the constant voltage
stage is rising instead of falling. This alarm will terminate
the charge profile.

Minimum Current - Non-urgent

Occurs when using a IU profile and the current in the
constant voltage stage falls below the value set in the
profile settings. This alarm will not stop a profile and is
considered normal for some types of batteries.

EQ/Refresh Timeout - Non-urgent

Occurs when the time in a given stage of the equalize
profile exceeds the value set for that stage of the profile.
This alarm will terminate the equalize charge but is not
considered an urgent alarm.
