USING THE BATTERYPLUS35 AS A POWER SUPPLY (BATTERY-LESS
OPERATION)
The
BatteryPlus35
will act as a power supply if the following conditions are met:
1. A battery is not connected to the
BatteryPlus35
, and
2. The
BatteryPlus35
is configured to charge Lead Acid batteries, and
3. The
BatteryPlus35
is connected and powered from mains, or
4. The
BatteryPlus35
is connected and powered from AUX input
Power Supply mode allows you to control and power your caravan’s loads directly
from mains or AUX without the need to connect the caravan battery. When
powered from the mains, the
BatteryPlus35
provides an output voltage of 12.8V.
When powered from an AUX input, the output voltage will vary depending on the
AUX input voltage.
This mode of operation is unavailable with a solar power source.
FAULT PROTECTION
Electronic Load Fuse Protection
Each load output is protected by an internal electronic fuse. Electronic fuses are
auto-recoverable and eliminate the need for the user to replace a blown fuse.
The electronic fuse will act if the
BatteryPlus35
detects a current greater than
the current rating of the terminal and the corresponding LED in the Load Output
Status Indicator on the
BatteryPlus35
will flash red.
The LED indicators have a narrow viewing window. To view the LED colour
clearly, one must be directly above the LED indicators.
The
BatteryPlus35
will power off the faulty load and resume normal operation
once the fault has been rectified.
Over-Temperature, Over-Voltage and Short Circuit Overload Protection
The
BatteryPlus35
provides automatic protection for over-temperature, over-
voltage and short circuit overload situations.
If any of these situations are detected, the
BatteryPlus35
will shut down and
automatically attempt a restart every 30 seconds until the fault is removed.
