RMBC64-24D ELECTRONIC BATTERY CHARGER
Overview.
The RMBC64-24D has been designed for charging two HAWK batteries.
Designed to provide all the intelligence to safely, consistently and efficiently fast charge
the HAWK battery.
Functional Description.
At switch on from the mains the two top row banks of green LEDs will give two flashes
to confirm that the charging circuits are operating correctly and that there is no
malfunction with the charger.
The unit is fitted with a selectable buzzer and a flashing green LED per channel to inform
the operator when the battery or batteries are fully charged and has reverted to trickle
charge.
Two seconds after the flashes have finished, the charger is ready for use.
Once either of the red start buttons have been pressed the charging process for that bank
begins.
Both the second, third, fourth and fifth row of red LEDs will be on, with the top row of
green LEDs flashing. This indicates that all the charging circuits are operating correctly
within the bank.
When the charge cycle is complete, the red LEDs within that bank will be off and the top
row of green LEDs will all be constant, together with the red trickle charge LED flashing,
and if the audio alert is switched on the buzzer will be sounding.
If the buzzer is switched in, it will sound when the last flashing green LED is constant
informing the operator that the battery or batteries are fully charged and the charger has
reverted to trickle charge.
The charger has an automatic heat sensing shut down system as well as negative delta
peak sensing to provide an added safeguard.
The primary charging system is change of temperature over change of time with a max
timer cut out.
Validation checks confirm if the temperature range of the battery is either in or outside
limits, or its end voltage (Edv) is too low, at which point the charger enters its pending
stage until such time as these validation parameters come within limits.
