16.10.2 Troubleshooting The Battery Charger

16.10.2.1 If No Indicators are Illuminated

This indicates that AC power is not reaching the power supply within the Battery
Charger.

Check the AC outlet to be sure it is "live" by connecting some other device, such
as a lamp.

Unplug the power cord from the outlet and examine the power cord for wear or
breakage.

Disconnect the power cord from the back-panel connector and replace the
fuse. The correct fuse is part number 062-0063, rated for 1.25 A, 250 V (time
delay). The slider which holds the fuse can be pried open with a small
screwdriver once the power cord has been withdrawn.

NOTE: If the battery charger’s connector protrudes from the back panel and

requires pressing a clip to open the drawer, the battery charger will contain
two fuses. Perhaps only one will be blown.

If the problem persists, contact INFICON Customer Support. See

16.10.2.2 If the Red Indicator is Flashing

This indicates that the Battery Charger is unable to communicate with the battery
(through the center pin).

First, try the battery in a different receptacle. If the problem persists, contact
INFICON Customer Support. See

Chapter 18, Customer Support

.

If the problem is solved, proceed to charge the battery, but suspect a problem with
the receptacle. Inspect the receptacle, especially examining the center pin for any
insulating material or for signs of looseness. If nothing seems wrong, contact
INFICON Customer Support. See

Chapter 18, Customer Support

.

16.10.2.3 If a Battery Does Not Accept a Charge

If a battery’s charge status does not change during the charging cycle and the
respective indicator has been green, the battery may be at the end of life.

To be certain that the problem is not with the Battery Charger receptacle, try to
charge the battery in an alternate receptacle. If the problem persists, replace the
battery. If the battery should not be near the end of life, contact INFICON to discuss
other possible steps. See

Chapter 18, Customer Support
