2 Equipment Description
2.1
General
The Battery Charger Analyser is an electronically controlled combined universal battery
charging unit with built in battery analysing (capacity testing) capabilities. It is housed
in a metal enclosure designed for bench mounting. As it is supplied it is configured for
use from a 240V 50/60Hz supply, it can be alternatively supplied for use with 115V
50/60Hz supply.
Equipment control is via an interactive 253 x 32 dot matrix display and data entry is via
a 16-key keypad. Operating modes and functions are selected by the use of a simple
menu system. Access to charging and testing operations is performed by either entry of
eight digit battery library names, repeat of last charge or capacity test or new manual
parameters. During operation the display will show the instantaneous values of battery
voltage, current and time elapsed through the selected program.
Process modes can be created where complete unattended charging, capacity testing
and final charging can be performed. Up to 6 different charge or capacity test steps can
be created and up to 4 process programs can be stored in the unit. Each process step
has an optional delayed start for resting the battery and also each step can sound the
alarm with or without a pause in operation. The process is simply continued by pressing
a key on the keypad.
Battery data is stored internally in the units non-volatile memory. The operator can add
and modify this list by entering the details of the battery to be included on the display
and keyboard. Alphanumeric digits, up to a maximum of 8 digits, identify Battery library
entries.
Batteries are connected to the front of the unit by means of two individual high current
connectors. Connection to the battery has to be made via the appropriate connectors
for that battery. The unit is supplied with M8 ring crimps that must have the
appropriate connector for the battery type being tested fitted.
The MB73+ can: -
Charge 12V at 30A or 24V at 15A
Capacity Test 12V at 60A Or 24V at 40A
The MB73P+ can: -
Charge 12V at 50A or 24V at 25A
Capacity Test: 12V at 60A or 24V at 50A
The unit contains a high flow rate fan to extract the heat energy generated internally
when running in capacity test mode.
