2 Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame and
smoking at the post where batteries are being
charged.
3 When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas
mixture forms in the cells and might escape through
the vent holes in the plugs.
Thus an explosive atmosphere may form around the
battery if ventilation is poor, and can remain in and
around the battery for several hours after it has been
charged. Therefore:
- never smoke near batteries being, or having
recently been, charged,
- never break live circuits at battery terminals,
because a spark usually occurs.

6.2.2 Alarm overview
6.2.2.1 Warning alarm icons

Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the operation of the generator system, they serve to draw the operators attention to an undesirable condition.
By default, warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed.
Display Description Reason

The module has detected a condition that indicates that the engine is running when it has been
instructed to stop.
Fail to stop
‘Fail to Stop’ could indicate a faulty oil pressure sensor. If the engine is at
! rest, check the oil sensor wiring and configuration.
Charge failure The auxiliary charge alternator voltage is low as measured from the W/L terminal.
Low fuel level The level detected by the fuel level sensor is below the low fuel level setting.
Battery Under Voltage The DC supply has fallen below or risen above the low volts setting level.
Battery Over Voltage The DC supply has risen above the high volts setting level.

6.2.2.3 Shutdown alarm icons
Shutdown alarms are latching and immediately stop the light tower. On initiation of the shutdown condition the Lc1003™ module de-energises all the ‘Light Output’
outputs to remove the load from the light tower. Once this has occurred, the Lc1003™ module shuts the light tower down immediately to prevent further damage. The
alarm must be accepted and cleared, and the fault removed to reset the Lc1003™ module.
Shutdowns are latching alarms and to remove the fault, press the STOP button on the Lc1003™ module.
The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the alarm condition remains, it is not possible to reset the unit.
