BLACK DIAMOND CHARGER
DESCRIPTION
The Black Diamond Charger is suitable to charge
lead-acid
motive
batteries
.
The operation is completely automatic, and it’s managed by a microprocessor control system, composed by a
Main Control Board, installed inside of the charger, and an optional wireless Battery Identification Module (WBM),
that is permanently connected to the battery.
The AR-TOP has two, selectable charging curves (Wa and WSa).
Wa:
typical charge time 10-12 hours
typical start rate 15-18% of the battery capacity C/5
WSa:
typical charge time 7-8 hours
typical start rate 23-26% of the battery capacity C/5
The power conversion system of the Black Diamond and its optimized charging algorithm help to reduce the charging factor
to the minimum value, so the duration of the overcharge/gassing phase and the average temperature of the battery are
minimized.
The Black Diamond Charger is equipped with a built-in Real-Time Clock, which allows the user to program the desired start
time of the day, the full charge time window and to schedule the weekly equalize cycles.
It is possible to connect the charger to the Fleet Management System DoctorFleet.com, which allows to monitor, program
and configure the complete fleet through a WEB based interface, at any time of the day and from anywhere in the World, to
send automatic messages by email in case of problems.
The Black Diamond charger features an extensive set of advanced functionalities, including an automatic algorithm for
the compensation of the voltage drop of the charging leads. These functionalities are programmable through an Advanced
Configuration Menu. Please call your service technician for more details.
The operation is completely automatic, and it’s managed by a microprocessor based control system, composed by a Main
Control Board, installed inside of the charger, and an optional wireless Battery Identification Module (WBM), that is
permanently connected to the battery.

INSTALLATION
CONDITIONS OF USE:
• Temperature (operation): from 0°C to 50°C.
• Temperature (storage): from –20°C to 60°C.
• Relative Humidity: less than 75 %.
>>>ATTENTION!<<<
The Black Diamond Charger can be installed by qualified personnel only. It’s recommended to control that
the AC input voltage available at the installation site has the right value, and that the power available is
sufficient. The nominal AC input voltages that the charger can accept, and maximum input current and
power are reported on the nameplate of the unit.
In order to prevent fires or electrical shock, don’t expose the Black Diamond Charger to rain or excessive
humidity.
Don’t use the Black Diamond Charger near flammable gas, because it contains components (contactors) that
may generate sparks during their normal operation.
Don’t open the cabinet of the charger. Only qualified personnel can service the unit.
Allow adequate air flow inside of the unit, in order to prevent excessive heat buildup.
Don’t install the unit near materials that may obstruct the air passages, near devices that may generate heat,
under the direct sunlight or in presence of excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
