INTRODUCTION
The IVO battery charger is a fully-automatic high-effi-
ciency battery charger/rectifier,developed and produced by
Mastervolt Amsterdam. The IVO series goes with a family
of advanced quality battery chargers. Mastervolt distribu-
tes these products worldwide. The battery charger posses-
es an outstanding charging technique in order to charge
batteries rapidly, safely and in the same time supply the
connected consumers. In addition, the charger is secured
against short circuit, overload and high temperatures in an
industrial enviroment.
CHARGING TWO OR MORE BATTERIES WITH
BATTERY ISOLATORS
If two or more batteries needs to be charged at the same
time, a battery isolator can be used. The battery isolator
divides the various battery sets from one other, in order to
avoid one set discharging the other. Because there is al-
ways a voltage drop across the isolator of 0,7V the output
voltage needs to be compensated. We can compensate
this voltage drop by removing the “diode compensation”
jumper on the front panel (see chapter 5).
CHARGING A 12V CRANKING BATTERY
In certain situations, it may occur that in addition to the
main battery(ies) a cranking battery is used as well. The
battery charger can charge a cranking battery at the same
time as the main battery.
The second output has the same output voltage
as the main output, 3 Amps maximum !
