
Battery Type - The ABCM Battery Charger is intended for Lead Acid type batteries.

Nominal Voltage - This parameter is factory set and represents the type of charger (12V, 24V, 32V,
36V, 48V, 108V and 120V).

Rated Current - This parameter is factory set and is determined by the size of the charger.

Battery Charging Current Limit - The maximum charging current is factory set in consultation with
the customer.
The battery supply voltage and load current are displayed and monitored on the display.
6.4 Alarms
The alarms listed in this section are included as part of the standard supply. Other alarms may
have been included at the customer’s request. Please check purchase order to confirm.
6.4.1 Fault Notification
The ABCM Battery Charger allows for monitoring of a number of system parameters. Major and Minor
alarm levels can be configured for these system parameters, and some examples of these parameters
are listed below. All average and peak levels on analogue values are automatically logged in the Event
Log. Major and Minor alarms will energise when healthy. Temperature alarm and EL alarm will energise
when unhealthy. All outputs can be set to normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
All alarms can be accessed on the high resolution display of the controller - on the Status Mode screen
or through the Event Log. All alarms can be configured via the high resolution display, or remotely via an
Ethernet connection.
