phase more than 14 hours, then the charging process will be stopped. This
way it can be prevented a broken battery will be charged continuously. But with
this feature it also can become clear that the charge c
urrent isn’t in the
correct proportion to the battery capacity (the battery can become damaged
when the charge process takes too long).
Input voltage
The input of the charger is protected by means of a fuse. This fuse is built in
internally to ensure the splash waterthigtness. Consult the problem solver to
determine whether the fuse is defective.
Current limitation
The charger incorporates a current limitation feature. This limit is set to 110%
of the maximum charging current.
Temperature
If the internal temperature becomes to high, the charger shuts down
automatically. This thermal stop is indicated by an error indication. When the
charger has cooled down it will continue the charging process. How the
temperature protective devices operate will depend strongly on the ambient
temperature.
Level of protection
The indication for the degree of protect
ion contains the character ‘IP’
(International Protection) followed by two or three digits that stipulates the
conditions that it complies with. The first digit refers to the class of protection
for density, the second digit to the fluid density and the last digit refers to the
impact resistance. The TBC 600 can be assigned IP 647, which means:
6
= the charger is protected against dust.
4
= the charger is protected against spraying of water from all directions.
7
= the charger can bear a n impact force of 6.00 Joule (6Nm) max.
Important
Because of the splash water resistance, it is important that the front and rear
cover are not damaged. In that case, any repair costs are not covered by the
warranty.
SETTING THE CHARGING PROGRAM
Th
e charging program can be set by pressing the ‘mode’ pushbutton on the
front of the charger. Set the TBC 600 to the correct program before mounting
the device. The battery may be connected already but this is not a requirement.
The set up of the charger consists out of three phases.
➔
First the application needs to be determined;
‘on
-
board’ use or ‘stand
-
alone’
use.
➔
In the second step the charge setting determined.
➔
As last step the determination whether a temperature sensor is present needs
to be made.
The combination of these three adjustments determines the charging program.
