Application Note 11
Optional Programming of the S12BD-5.0/24DC
The normal operation of the "PWR" and "CHG" LED signals is explained in the S12BD-5.0/24DC Operation Manual.
An alternate LED Signal Behavior is available by installing an 18K programming resistor on the "CHG" terminal. An LED on the terminal does not interfere with the programming.
PWR Signal: Reports the status of the unit's input power.
On if the battery is being charged or is fully charged and being maintained.
Off if the battery is no longer being charged/maintained but is discharging.
CHG Signal: Reports adequate battery voltage.
On if the battery voltage is at or above 11.75V
Off if the battery voltage is below 11.75V (less than 20% charge left)
This reporting scheme may be useful with remote installations.
