INTRODUCTION
The voltages mentioned in this user manual are based on a 12V charger. The
voltages must be multiplied as follows: x2 for 24 Volt, x3 for 36 Volt and x4 for
48Volt. On the last pages the technical specifications can be found of all models
from the Promax 200 series.
The Promax 200 is a fully automatic battery charger and floatcharger in one and
can be left connected to the mains power supply keeping the battery in a good
condition. The microprocessor measures and checks the battery and charge
process continuously, wich results in a very safe and reliable charging process.
The ProMax contains different charging programs. By means of the ‘mode’
button on the front the charger the charging program is set easily. This way the
charger can be adjusted optimally for each battery type and specific application.
You can use multiple powersources, like solar panels or a dynamo, together with
the ProMax 200.
Important
Don’t connect devices directly to the connection terminals on the battery
charger.
FEATURES
The ProMax 200 contains a wide variety of features and protections to promote
the usability and of course also to ensure that the charge process progresses
extremely safe.
Reverse polarisation
Reverse polarisation means that the plus and minus connection wires are
inadvertently reversed on the battery or on the charger. Reverse polarisation is
indicated by an error indication. Disconnect, and connect the battery and the
charger properly.
Short circuit (output)
The charger is protected from short circuit when no battery is connected, even
in the presence of the mains voltage.
Batteries on the other hand cannot withstand short circuit! Never short circuit
when the charger is connected to the battery, irrespective of whether the mains
voltage is present. When a battery is short circuited there is a danger that it will
explode!!! The charger too will then incur serious damage.
Output
voltage
The charger can only be activated if a battery has been connected to it. Without
the presence of a battery no voltage readings will be measured.
Current
limitation
The charger incorporates a current limitation feature.
