DC supply (battery)

The Plena Easy Line Mixer has a 24 VDC input 
(terminal screw). This input can be used in mobile 
applications, such as boats where 120 or 230 VAC is not 
available or in applications that must continue to 
operate in case of a power failure.

When a 24 VDC battery is connected (typically 
consisting of two 12 VDC lead-acid batteries in series), 
the unit will operate on the supplied DC voltage.

The Plena Easy Line Mixer has as a built in charger, 
which charges the connected battery (or batteries if 
connected in series). A separate battery charger is, 
therefore, not required. The charger charges the battery 
with a 0.5 A constant current until the battery voltage 
reaches 27.4 VDC. The charger then switches over to 
constant voltage charging (also known as float charging). 
This means that a battery can be charged at the same 
rate it is discharging, and thus full capacity battery can 
be assured.

This type of charging is suited for low duty-cycle 
applications where a relatively high current or power is 
infrequently required.
 

Caution

The connection cable must have an in-line fuse. 

Use the type of fuse shown in the following 

figure.

Caution

Make sure the unit is earthed.

Note

If the backup power system has to comply to the 

EN54-4 standard or similar standards for 

backup power and charging speeds, Bosch 

recommends the PLN-24CH10. The PLN-

24CH10 is a dedicated battery charger and 

power supply that is fully EN54-4 compliant.

Note

If battery charging is not required, the 0.5 A 

maximum output current can be used for volume 

overrides or other purposes instead.
