Other application ideas see fig 1-4 ( previous page)
Fig 1:
Most common installation, simply connect the
charger between the starter battery and the secondary
(house/bow thruster) bank. The starter battery stays
between 13-14V and the secondary goes to 14.1V-
15.1V. This setup is especially good when the
secondary battery is distant from the starter, like a bow
thruster.
Fig 2:
This option shows the use of the charger in
conjunction with a split charging system. Here an
additional battery bank is present, simply drop the
charger between secondary battery and this additional
battery. The charger can also transform a single
output charger into a dual output.
Fig 3:
This option shows a situation on many boats
or camper vehicles where there may be 3x battery
banks. Simply put 2x chargers on, and they will
ensure both banks are catered for. It is immaterial if
one bank is further away than another.
Fig 4:
This option focuses on charging a large house
bank from multiple charging sources. Whether the
charge comes from a generator, engine or old single
stage battery charger a battery to battery charger
shall provide a much improved charging rate from
these sources to the extensive house bank.
1)
Voltage select.
Pressing this button allows you to view 3 voltages:
a) Input voltage to unit (indicated by yellow LED 2 on).
b) Output voltage from unit ( yellow LED 7 on ).
c) Voltage at end of remote sense wire (if used)
indicated by yellow LED 7 flashing.
2) In conjunction with the remote panel voltage button 1,
If on, this showing the voltage reading displayed is the
input voltage. If in conjunction with temperature button 8,
this shows unit temperature.
3) LCD screen showing digits. Also, red screen =
WARNING. Green screen all ok. Blue = Charging.
4) LED 4-5-6 emulate the 3 charge indicators on the
main box, 4 ( blue ) = constant current.
5) Absorption.
6) Float.
7) In conjunction with Voltage button 1. If on, this is
showing that the voltage reading displayed is the output
voltage. If flashing then the voltage displayed reading is
the voltage at the end of the remote sense cable, if used.
In conjunction with temperature button 8, display shows
battery temperature.
8) Temperature information selection, by pushing this
button you can select 2 temperatures:
a) Unit temperature indicated by LED 2 and
screen showing ‘C’ for degrees Celsius or ‘F’ for degrees
Fahrenheit, depending on your setup.
b) Battery temperature indicated by LED 7 on
selection and screen showing ‘C’ for degrees Celsius or
‘F’ for degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your setup.
9) Fault, reference light on will also show a fault number
on the screen, please reference this number against the
fault.
E01 = High voltage input
E02 = High voltage output
E03 = High unit temperature
E04 = High battery temperature
E05 = No output voltage
Preset voltages: (x2 for 24V models).
Minimum input voltage the unit will run at 13.0V.
Switch off and sleep mode happens below 12.8V for at
least 15 minutes.
Power consumption on sleep mode is 5 mA (0.005A).
Maximum input voltage trip 15.5V.
Maximum output voltage trip 15.5V.
All voltages refer to a default temperature of 20 deg C.
If the battery temperature sensor is fitted these voltages
will be less dependant on the battery temperature.
WARNING
If all LEDs flash and the fan is running, there is a fault
and the unit needs to be disconnected and returned to
factory.
WARNING
The battery temperature sensor adjusts the charger
voltage according to the temperature on the batteries.
The voltage will be higher or lower than the default
value. In case of very low temperatures, the voltage
could exceed 15V easily. Check your equipment if it is
capable. Or else, disconnect the temperature sensor.
