- The unit is housed in a 100% safe plastic box, providing robust protection.
8. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you encounter issues with your BB1260-12 charger, consider the following:
- പൊരുത്തമില്ലാത്ത ചാർജിംഗ്: Ensure all connections are tight and clean. Verify that the input voltage from the starter battery is sufficient (above 13.3V for automatic mode). If using an ignition feed, confirm the ignition signal is present.
- Unit Beeping: Refer to the LED status indicators on the unit. A beeping sound often indicates a warning or fault condition. Consult the detailed diagram for specific LED patterns and their meanings.
- Fan Running Continuously: The fan operates to cool the unit. If it runs for extended periods after the vehicle is off, check for proper ventilation around the unit. Ensure the unit is not in an excessively hot environment.
- No Output/Charging: Verify that the input battery is charged and providing sufficient voltage. Check all fuses in the charging circuit. Ensure the correct battery profile is selected for your auxiliary battery.
- Starter Battery Drain: The BB1260-12 is designed to prevent starter battery discharge. If this occurs, immediately check wiring for incorrect connections or short circuits. The unit should only draw current from the input battery during the low voltage timer for regenerative braking mode.
