RINCIPLE
The design of the battery chargers in the
range is based on a high-frequency switching supply converter
that transforms the AC signal into regulated and filtered DC current. They can operate as a DC power supply.
Once the type of battery and type of charge have been selected, operation of the battery charger is entirely automatic
(unless otherwise specified by the supplier or the manufacturer of the batteries). It can remain connected to the
batteries and does not need to be disconnected when starting up an engine (marine application), because it is equipped
with an integrated separator.
The appliance's output voltage is sufficient to recharge 1, 2, 3, or 4 separate batteries (integrated charge distributor,
separation of batteries). The charger's maximum output is the rated current distributed to each output according to the
connected batteries banks.
Each output can deliver the rated current.
The unused outputs have to be left unconnected

The chargers are divided into 2 zones:
•
The user interface zone
•
The energy conversion zone (all maintenance in this area is forbidden except with CRISTEC authorization, under
penalty of warranty termination)
Fixing of the charger is made by 4 x M5 round head screws (screw head diameter less than 10 mm).
