2. DESCRIPTION
The AR-TOP Charger is suitable to charge
lead-acid
motive
batteries
.
The operation is completely automatic, and it's managed by a microprocessor control system, composed by a
Main Control Board, installed inside of the charger, and an optional wireless Battery Identification Module
(WBM), that is permanently connected to the battery.
The AR-TOP has two,
selectable charging curves
(
Wa
and
WSa
).
Wa:
typical charge time 10-12 hours
typical start rate 15-18% of the battery capacity C/5
WSa:
typical charge time 7-8 hours
typical start rate 23-26% of the battery capacity C/5
The power conversion system of the AR-TOP and its optimized charging algorithm help to reduce the charging
factor to the minimum value, so the duration of the overcharge/gassing phase and the average temperature of
the battery are minimized.
The AR-TOP Charger is equipped with a built-in
Real-Time Clock
, which allows the user to program the
desired start time of the day, the full charge time window and to schedule the weekly equalize cycles.
It is possible to connect the charger to the Fleet Management System
DoctorFleet.com
, which allows to
monitor, program and configure the complete fleet through a WEB based interface, at any time of the day and
from anywhere in the World, to send automatic messages by email in case of problems.
The AR-TOP charger features an extensive set of advanced functionalities, including an automatic algorithm
for the compensation of the voltage drop of the charging leads. These functionalities are programmable through
an
Advanced Configuration Menu
. Please call your service technician for more details.
