MODULES MANAGEMENT
•
There are two types of the modules: 24/36/48V and
72/80V.
•
It is not allowed to mix both models in a single system.
•
The modules are plug and play: if the user needs to replace
a module, he just needs to plug the new module into the
cabinet and the system will operate. It is obligatory to
follow safety rules and disconnect the system from AC
and DC sides.
The module management system ensures optimization of the
electrical efficiency & performance of the product.
•
If one module fails then the system keeps on charging in
a reduced power mode. It allows the battery to be charged
even in the case of module failure.
•
There are 3 status LED's on the modules:
• Red: OFF - normal status / ON - internal module fault
• Yellow: OFF - absence of AC supply / ON - normal
status when AC supply present
• Green: OFF - module OFF / ON - module ON
(in function - charging)
CHARGING THE BATTERY
It is now assumed that the charger has been properly set up.
Charging can only begin with a battery of the proper type,
capacity and voltage connected to the charger.
Off-charge display
With the charger in waiting mode, the display shows
information concerning the charger (top and bottom lines):
1. Charger type (
Battery v current
).
2. Last selected charging profile.
3. Software version.
4. Waiting indication.
5. Date and time of the charge.
6. Set up battery operating temperature.
Alternating battery temperature/capacity if the ‘manual’
capacity mode is selected.
Starting the charge
1.
If Autostart is On (default ON), the charge starts auto-
matically when the battery is connected to the charger.
To stop the charge, press the central button .
If Autostart is OFF the charge will start only if the
central button is pressed. To stop the charge, press the
central button .
The display shows information relative to the connected
battery and counts down the time remaining until the
effective charge begins.

As soon as the countdown time has elapsed, the display
shows the information relative to the charge.
To induce the start of the charge if the delayed charge has
been programmed:
1. Connect the battery
2. Press the central button to stop the charger.
3. Press and hold the central button for 3 seconds.
Release.
Defaults
DF1, DF2, DF3
and
TH
inhibit the charge. Refer to
section
Fault codes.
End of charge without equalisation
1. The backlight of the screen becomes green at the end of
a correct charge and the indication AVAIL is displayed.
Possible alternating display between DF5 default and
pump default and DF4 (ref.1). The displays shows
alternately: (ref. 2):
• charging time achieved
• number of Ah restored
If the battery remains connected, and in order to
maintain it in a fully charged condition, refresh charges
followed by equalisation charges will be automatically
initiated according to the battery technology.
