DESCRIPTION & USE
INTRODUCTION
The LifeSpeed iQ
TM
range of chargers is designed to recharge
24 V, 36 V, 48 V, 72V or 80 V batteries with 3-phase mains
supply. The microprocessor-controlled unit automatically
recognises the battery (voltage, capacity, charge level, etc.)
and very effectively analyses its condition for optimum
handling. Several charging profiles are available (vented
lead/acid, NexSys

This technical manual.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The charger is intended to be wall mounted (only 3 bay cabi-
net) or floor standing and must be installed in the vertical
orientation. The distance between 2 adjacent chargers
should be at least 0.3 m.
See paragraph
Recommendations
and avoid areas where
the chargers may be splashed with water, or saline
environments.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
3-phase input
Connection to the mains supply is 400V AC 3-phase and must
be connected using a suitable plug and adequately sized cir-
cuit breaker (not included). Current requirements in Amps
are indicated on the charger information plate.
Battery output
It is essential to ensure correct polarity. However, reversed
polarity will result in blowing the output fuse, inability to
charge and the fault code
DF2
will be displayed.
See
Messages and fault codes.
Connection to the battery should be done using the cables
supplied:
•
RED cable: POSITIVE.
•
