Unattended Charging:
Multiple protection against overload, overheating, overvoltage, short- circuit, incorrect
behaviour and back discharge of the battery by electronically controlled gradual reduction down to complete separation
of charger and battery.
Power Pack Function:
Allows supply of the consumers without battery (such as during battery replacement).
Integrated On-board Mains Suppression Filter:
Unproblematic parallel operation of further charging sources (wind-
driven, motor -driven and petrol-driven generators) at one battery.
Charging Cable Compensation:
Automatic compensation of voltage losses on the charging cables.
Connection for
Battery Temperature Sensor
(included in the standard delivery scope):
Lead
batteries (acid, gel, AGM): In case of
low outside temperatures
, full charging of the weak battery is
improved
by
automatic adaptation of the charging voltage to the
battery temperature
, and in case of summery temperatures
unnecessary battery gassing
will be avoided.
LiFePO4
Batteries: Battery protection in case of high temperatures or particularly in case of low temperatures < 0°C.
Highly recommended, if the battery temperature might drop below 0 °C during operation.
Lithium LiFePO4 Auto Wake Up
: Periodical automatic activation of the battery cell balancing BMS.
Lead Battery regeneration
in case of standstill: automatically twice a week to avoid harmful acid accumulation.
Charging aid for totally discharged lead batteries:
Gentle preliminary charging of the (lead-acid, gel, AGM) battery to
8 V, followed by powerful support of the battery, in case of possibly switched-on consumers.
Battery Lifetime and Efficiency:
Keep the batteries cool,
LiFePO4
preferably
above 0 °C
.
Choose an appropriate location
for installation.
Store only fully charged batteries and recharge them periodically.
Open lead-acid batteries and batteries being "maintenance-free according to EN / DIN":
Check the acid level periodically!
Recharge totally discharged lead batteries
immediately
!
LiFePO4: Only use complete batteries with BMS and safety circuit.
! Total discharge is absolutely to be avoided !
Observe the "Safety Regulations and Appropriate Application" for the unit,
see page 18!
Installation of the Unit
Install the charger
near the board supply battery I (for short charging cables)
at a clean, even and hard mounting surface,
which is protected from moisture, humidity and aggressive battery gases. The unit can be installed in any position.
Despite the charger's high efficiency, heat is produced, which is brought out of the casing by means of the built-in fans. The
vent holes at the unit rear should never be covered (minimum distance 10 cm) to ensure full charging capacity. Ensure
sufficient
ventilation
in the
environment of the unit
so that the heat can be carried-off.
Otherwise, the unit might effect a slight reduction of the charging capacity in case of increased heating.
Unit Connection
a.
Choose the suitable connection plan according to your application. Observe the indications, fuses, polarity
+/-!
b.
Produce the power connections observing
table 1, page 6
and the
"Recommended Cable Cross-Sections, Cable Lengths and +Fuse Capacities".
Reverse battery (+/-)
might result in
severe damages
of the unit!
c.
Produce the control connections. See description from
