CPS2OEM60DEB.DOC 20
The cross-section of the battery cables must be higher than 16mm2.
The rating of the upstream circuit-breakers should match the equipment's requirements.
The installer should choose the types of cable (H07-VK, MX…) according to the type of application and the
applicable standards.
4.2.2 Precautions regarding electromagnetic disturbance generated by the appliance
Use shielded cables for all the connections (*). The shielding should be earthed at both the transmitting and the
receiving ends.
Keep cable length and shielding connections down to a minimum.
Route cables as close as possible to conductive parts ("loose" cables or loops should be avoided – cables should
be flattened against conductive parts).
Keep power cables separate from battery cables.
Keep power cables separate from control cables (at least 200mm).
The cables should only supply power to this appliance; any branch-offs or short-outs intended to power another
appliance are prohibited.
(*) This is a recommendation for installation rather than an obligation. The installing electrician should decide
whether or not to use shielded cable depending on the EMC environment.
5 COMMISSIONING
This paragraph lists all the tasks required to bring the equipment into service.
These instructions should be followed to the letter before first turning on the appliance.
5.1 ELECTRICITY NETWORK
The CPS2 OEM 12V/60A chargers can operate automatically and equally on single-phase networks from 85 to 265VAC
and from 47 to 63Hz.
Generators
The Cristec battery charger is designed to operate on a generator. In certain cases, generators can produce high surges.
Before connecting the charger, check its compatibility with the generator's characteristics: power, voltage, surges,
frequency, current etc.
5.2 CHARGER COMPATIBILITY AND SETTINGS ACCORDING TO BATTERY TYPE
Before switching on, be sure to check the compatibility of voltage, current and settings according to the type of
batteries
connected.
Checking the load voltage
Before connecting the batteries to the charger, you must check the polarity of the accumulators. Also check the voltage of
the batteries with the aid of a calibrated voltmeter. A low voltage on certain types of accumulators may indicate they have
sustained irreversible damage, thereby precluding any possibility of recharging.
5.3 TURNING THE CHARGER ON AND OFF
The CPS2 OEM 12V/60A charger starts operating as soon as it is switched on (input power cable connected and
powered).
The CPS2 OEM 12V/60A charger stops operating when it is no longer powered up (input power cable disconnected or
the installation's circuit-breaker in the OFF position).
