Reporting Without AC Power or While on Standby
If AC power has been disconnected or if you have used the
optional remote panel to place the Truecharge™ 2 Battery
Charger on Standby mode, the onboard display (and the
optional remote panel, if installed) LEDs will be turned off to
conserve battery power. However, present settings and
battery status can be viewed momentarily by pressing the
Status button on the optional remote panel to initialize a view
cycle that will show the status of the batteries.
The remote panel LEDs will turn off after 30 seconds of
inactivity.
Using A Generator As Source Power
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger can be run from a
regular AC power source or from an alternate power source
such as a generator. Refer to Appendix A, “Specifications”
for AC input current draw to determine the size of generator
you need. Many generators provide output voltage that is
modified sine wave or modified square wave (MSW) rather
than the true sine wave (TSW) that your utility provides.
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger may be used with MSW
generators but its lifetime may be reduced somewhat
depending on the severity of any peak voltage overshoots,
and the severity of waveshape rise times.
