2. OPERATING–PRESENTATION–INTERFACES
2.1. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The design ofthe battery chargers in the CPS3 range is based on a high-frequency split converter that transforms
the AC signal into regulated and filtered DC current. They can operate as a DC power supply.
Once the type ofbattery and type ofcharge has been selected, operation ofthe battery charger is entirely automatic
(Unless otherwise specified by the supplier or the manufacturer ofthe batteries). It can remain connected to the
batteries and does not need to be disconnected when starting up an engine (marine application), because it is
equipped with insulating diodes.
The appliance's output voltage is sufficient to recharge 1, 2 or separate 3 batteries (integrated charge distributor,
separation ofbatteries). All models feature an output suitable for recharging an engine battery (BAT D output,
marine application). The charger's maximum output is the rated current distributed to each output according to the
connected batteries banks.
Each output can deliver the rated current.
All the models are equipped with an addi SP output allowing to add an external battery isolator in the case
ofan installation ofmore than 3 battery banks.
Not all the outputs have to be connected. However, ifonly one output is used, we recommend interconnecting
outputs BAT1, BAT2 and BAT D to one another (optional).
2.2. OVERVIEW PRESENTATION
The chargers are divided into 2 areas:
• The user interface area
• The energy conversion area (all maintenance in this area is forbidden except CRISTEC authorization, under
penalty ofwarranty exclusion)
