Charging with continuous current U-I
For special purposes where a stable voltage and current are required, the AP-3000 also
provides this function. The charging current is continuous, it can be chosen from ‘Battery
Type’ menu heading by selecting ‘UI’. In the sub-menu choose ‘UoIo Menu’, which
appears automatically. Now you can set the desired voltage and current, and confirm with
"OK". The system automatically enters the "Status menu" and on the upper right hand
corner of the screen we see the inscription ‘UI’.
There are technical constraints of the AP-3000, for example, it is not possible to set a
voltage of 62V and current 50A at the same time. (This example relates to the AP-3000
48V battery charger).

** Mains Voltage Too Low **
In the case of the mains voltage being too low, (considered to be all voltages below 210V
AC), the charging current is automatically reduced by up to 35% of the nominal value. This
occurs down to a voltage of 90V AC. The device can therefore also be used in
environments where mains voltage fluctuates significantly. Current from the mains will
never exceed 16A. The charger is automatically protected against damage, as too is the
mains supply. The the mains fuse is 16A. Charge current is reduced in steps, as shown in
the table below. Mains voltage is displayed in the status menu, bottom left. If the charger is
in standby and is not charging, the display shows the mains voltage with a considerable
error. During charging, the measurement error of mains voltage is minimum.
