Power Modules
The powerer modules are installed through the front of the housing and slide between steel guides. To access
the modules simply remove the inlet filter by removing to thumb screws holding the grill to the MXHF.
Each module is forced-cooled by two high-speed axial fans that are located behind the module’s plastic
faceplate. When installed in the charger, the modules draw ambient air through the front grill and filter and
force the warm exhaust air out the rear.
There are two type of power modules: Yellow module with AC input range of 175-300VAC single or three phase
and Green module with AC input range of 340-530VAC three phase only.

Optional Auto Profile Configuration (APC) Module
The Auto Profile Configuration Module (also called a battery module) stores configured information and
communicates with the MXHF through the battery cables. Once the battery is connected the APC module will
send the information to the MXHF charger. The MXHF will charge the battery using the information stored on
the APC module.
The APC mounts easily onto the top of the battery. This option gives
ability to charge different type of batteries using only one MXHF
charger. Each battery will require an APC module.
The APC module monitors battery voltage and temperature during
the charge process. A unique ID code can be assigned to the
module. An optional electrolyte can be fitted to the battery.
Rugged case construction resists impact, water and battery
electrolyte spills. Compact case size will not interfere with battery
watering, removal or lid closure.

Normal Operation
The following is a concise summary of knowledge necessary by the forklift user to correctly operate the charger.
The charger has been designed to require minimal set-up by the end-user and can be reconfigured only by
Authorized Representatives.
3.4.1 Pre-Charge Checks
Before plugging in a battery apply mains power to the charger, check that it is suitably configured for the
battery by checking the LCD display data and check that the battery and related cabling is in good condition. If
there is any exposed copper showing through the battery cable insulation or the insulation appears overheated
or burnt, DO NOT attempt to charge the battery.
