Installation of the Unit:
The charging converter can be installed at any location, which is clean and which is protected from humidity and dust.
Choose an installation location ensuring that the length of the connection cable between starter battery (IN) and
board battery (OUT) is as short as possible. By this, unnecessary losses over the cables are avoided.
Despite the charging converter’s high efficiency, heat is produced, which is brought out of the casing by means of the
built-in fans.
Ensure sufficient
ventilation
in the
environment of the unit,
so that the heat can be removed. Protect the unit from
aggressive battery gas.
The unit can be installed in any position. However, the
vent holes
of the casing (front panel and rear panel) should
never be covered to ensure the full charging capacity (
minimum distance:
10 cm
).
Ensure a solid and vibration reducing installation using
rubber bushings
on an even and hard mounting surface.
Connection and Settings:
•
Choose the suitable
connection plan
according to your application.
Observe
the indications, fuses,
po/-!
•
Table Page 5
:
Observe
the "Recommended
Cable Cross-Sections
and Lengths of the
Power
Connection
Cable"!
•
First connect the charging converter, after that the batteries.
Output Side:
1.
Connect the
board/supply battery
to the large terminals "Battery I
OUT
"
"-"
and "
+
" observing
the
correct polarity
. Recommended in case of a cable length exceeding 2 m:
Lead a voltage sensor line with fuse
directly
from the positive pole of the board battery to the terminal
"+ Sense Out“.
Recommended in case of a cable length of less than 2 m: The terminal "+ Sense Out"
can be left free.
2.
For battery temperature control,
connect the terminals
"TT Temp. Sensor"
to the delivered
temperature sensor ("Temperature Sensor", page7).
Input Side:
3.
Connect the vehicle's
starter
battery to the large terminals "Battery
II IN"
"-"
and
"+"
observing the
correct polarity! Reverse b/- at the IN (Start) side will result in serious damage of the unit!
4.
Terminal
"Sense In+"
: Lead a voltage sensor line with fuse
directly
from the positive pole of the
starter
battery to the terminal
"+ Sense IN"
. Without connection, the unit does not work!
For further details (such as operation without separate sensor line) please refer to
table 2
, page
10.
5.
Terminal
"Kl.15/D+"
, control input for activation of the unit:
Connection preferably to the signal D+ "Generator active" of the vehicle.
If this signal does not exist, the signal "Ignition ON" (vehicle terminal 15) can be used for automatic
unit control.
6.
Terminal
"EBL Start In":
Refer to connection plan "EBL" and "EVS", otherwise leave it free.
Settings for Start-up:
7.
Output Side of the Charging Converter:
Set the battery type, manufacturer of the LiFePO4 board battery "I" to be charged using the switches
"Battery Type". Refer to
table 1
, page
8
.
8.
Input Side of the Charging Converter:
Set the installation operating mode IN at the starter battery "II" to be supplied by means of the
switches "Input Type", refer to
table 2
, page
10
.
9.
Start-up and function test, see page
11
. Further details, see page
12
