DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The basic charging circuit is the silicon diode, recti-
fier-type with ferroresonant transformer (s). This
ferroresonant transformer design regulates charging
current by allowing the battery to determine its own
charge cycle rate in accordance with its state of dis-
charge. It provides a constantly-tapering charge
that eliminates the possibility of overcharging, even
with line voltage variations of ± 10%. Single-phase
input chargers have one transformer, three-phase
input chargers have three.
Other features are internal protection against over-
load and short circuits.
When charging lead acid batteries, with the same
number of cells and ampere-hour capacity as shown
on charger nameplate, the charging time will be
approximately 8 hours. Batteries of smaller or lar-
ger ampere-hour capacities can also be charged,
but will require shorter or longer charging, respec-
tively.
CONTROL
Manual Timer Control — Selects the desired length
of charging time. When the charger is ON, the
“Charge in Progress” LED is lit; charge time, voltage
and current information are displayed. Refer to
OPERATION section of this manual for details on
possible timer settings.
If the “Battery Disconnect Defeat” mode is turned
on, voltage will be present on the charger output
leads if the battery is disconnected before the
charge is terminated.
CAUTION: The “Manual Stop” switch should
always be used to prematurely end a charge
cycle.
Check the equipment received against the shipping
invoice to make certain that the shipment is com-
plete and undamaged. If the equipment has been
damaged in transit, notify the carrier (railroad, truck-
ing company, etc.) at once and file a claim for dam-
ages. If you require assistance with a damage
claim, or if the shipment is in error, furnish full infor-
mation to the company shown on cover of this man-
ual.
Give the MODEL, SPECIFICATION, SERIAL AND
GROUP PART (if any) numbers of the equipment,
and a full description of the parts in error. Refer to
front sheet of this manual for an explanation of the
specification numbers.
Generally, it is good practice to move the equipment to the site of installation before uncrating. Use care
in uncrating in order to avoid damage to the equip-
ment when bars, hammers, etc., are used.
Best results with this equipment will be obtained
ONLY if the responsible operating and maintenance
personnel have access to and are familiar with
these instructions. Additional copies may be ob-
tained at small cost per copy by writing to the com-
pany shown on cover of this manual. Supply the
owner’s manual no. (193111-078), plus the MODEL,
SPECIFICATION, SERIAL, AND GROUP PART (if
any) numbers of your equipment.
