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. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.3 

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. 

Figure 7 – Power Modules

 

There  are  three  status  LEDs  on  the 
faceplate: 

 

Red – No output 

 

Amber – Current limit 

 

Green – Operating
