PRIORITY:
Before using you new WOODS DIALOcharge, ensure that you have the following items;
1
the DIALOcharge unit
2
mains AC 3 pin cable
3
RED and BLACK battery cables with alligator clamps
If any of the ab ove items are missing from the original packaging, contact your supplier.
ENVIRONMENTS:
Due to the versatile portability of the DIALOcharge, it may be employed in almost all environments, provided the following
conditions apply;
•
Ensure that the DIALOcharge cabinet is mounted in an upright position, carry-handle on top.
•
DO NOT mount the DIALOcharge inside an unventilated enclosure. The DIALOcharge must have minimum air intake and
outlet areas of 10,000mm² (16in²).
•
Allow adeq uate ventilation around the cabinet. eg: 100mm clearance to the left and right side panels for effective fan
cooling.
•
DO NOT mount the DIALOcharge in direct sunlight or in environments with a high ambient temperature, as extreme
temperatures will cause the DIALOcharge to shut down operation.
•
DO NOT use the DIALOcharge in wet areas where it may be sprayed with water or other liquids.
•
DO NOT use the DIALOcharge in excessively dusty environments.
CONNECTIONS:
BEFORE MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ENSURE THAT THE 240Vac MAINS IS SWITCHED OFF !
AC MAINS Input connection:
The AC mains inlet socket is situated on the lower right of the front panel, and is the International IEC connector type.
The mains cable supplied is fitted with a standard 3 pin plug, for connection to an Australian GPO and the IEC connector.
♦
If using a GenSet for mains supply, ensure that its capacity is at least double the DIALOcharge’s input VA rating.
eg: 750VA charger = 1500VA GenSet minimum
maximum allowable GenSet distortion 16% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
Output connection:
The output connections are the RED and BLACK binding posts located on the lower left of the front p anel, labelled POSITIVE
and NEGATIVE respectively.
MULTIPLEXING DIALOchargers:
PARALLEL:
eg: D1260 + D1260 = 12V 120A
Two or more DIALOcharge units may be connected in parallel to increase the charging AMPERAGE capacity.
You may now individually control each charger upto the total maximum.
SERIES:
eg: D1260 : D1260 =
24V 60A
Two or more DIALOcharge units may be connected in series to increase the charging VOLTAGE capacity.
You may now individually control each charger upto the total maximum.
The added bonus of multiple individual DIALOcharge units facilitates the use of the units separately if required.
