6.8 EPS mode
This operating mode enables power to be supplied to vehicles that have no battery. Once the
MC1500 has been switched on by pressing control button 1 (On/Off), it is ready for use. That
means that the MC1500’s output voltage will stay at zero volts until button 2 (Start/Stop) is
pressed.
The MC1500 then starts to charge at the relevant voltage.
The following table contains an overview of the default setting of voltage levels for the EPS
mode:
EPS 12V mode
EPS 24V mode
14.2V
28.0V
The output voltage on the MC1500 remains switched on until button 2 (Start/Stop) is pressed
again. When this button is pressed, the MC1500 switches the output voltage to 0V until control
button 2 (Start/Stop) is pressed once again. Then, the output voltage is switched back on again.
The output voltage can also be switched off by pressing button 1 (On/Off).
Connecting a battery (with a voltage of >1V) to the MC1500 before the output voltage is
switched on is not allowed. If this is done, a
‘Return voltage’
error message will appear.
The output voltage at the MC1500 cannot be switched on until the battery is removed.
Warning:
It is not permissible to connect a battery to the MC1500 while the charger unit is in EPS mode.
6.9 EPS autostart mode
This mode works in a similar way to the EPS mode. The difference between the two operating
modes is that the EPS autostart mode requires a battery to be connected to the MC1500.
The MC1500 automatically sets the output voltage according the battery connected.
