MODULES MANAGEMENT
•
There are two types of the modules: 24/36/48V and 72/80V.
•
It is not allowed to mix both models in a single system.
•
The modules are
plug and play
: if the user needs to replace a
module, he just needs to plug the new module into the
cabinet and the system will operate. It is obligatory to
follow safety rules and disconnect the system from AC and
DC sides.
The module management system ensures optimization of the
electrical efficiency & performance of the product.
•
If one module fails then the system keeps on charging in
a reduced power mode. It allows the battery to be charged
even in the case of module failure.
•
There are 3 status LED's on the modules:
CHARGING THE BATTERY
It is now assumed that the charger has been properly set up.
Charging can only begin with a battery of the proper type,
capacity and voltage connected to the charger.
Off-charge display
With the charger in
waiting mode, the display shows
information concerning the charger (top and bottom lines):
1. Charger type (Battery v current).
2. Last selected charging profile.
3. Software version.
4. Waiting indication.
5. Date and time of the charge.
6. Set up battery operating temperature.
Alternating battery temperature/capacity if the ‘manual’
capacity mode is selected.
Starting the charge
