INITIAL SET-UP & DESCRIPTION
Charger
The basic charging circuit is the silicon diode, rectifi-
er-type with ferroresonant transformer (s). This fer-
roresonant transformer design regulates charging
current by allowing the battery to determine its own
charge cycle rate in accordance with its state of dis-
charge. It provides a constantly-tapering charge
that eliminates the possibility of overcharging, even
with line voltage variations of ± 10%. Single-phase
input chargers have one transformer, three-phase
input chargers have two. The charger is internally
protected from overload and short circuits.
When charging lead acid batteries, with the same
number of cells and ampere-hour capacity as shown
on charger nameplate, the charging time will be
approximately 8 hours. Batteries of smaller or larg-
er ampere-hour capacities can also be charged, but
will require shorter or longer charging, respectively.
WARNING: Do not connect a
battery to this charger if any LED
is lit. Do not disconnect a battery
from this charger while a charge
is in progress. Otherwise, arcing
and burning of connector parts or
a battery explosion may result.
Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame, and cigarettes
away. Ventilate when charging in
an enclosed area. Always shield
eyes when working near batteries.
Set-Up
See Location Diagram of Selector Switches includ-
ed in this manual.
For proper operation, the Control must be set to
match the charger in which it is installed.
Cell Size Selection
From the data plate on the charger, note the voltage
output. Place the corresponding DIP switch (S1) on
the Control in the “Closed” position.
S1-1 12 Volts
S1-2 24 Volts
S1-3 36 Volts
S1-4 48 Volts
S1-5 Optional
Only one of the above DIP switches should be in the
“Closed” position at any one time.
Auto Equalize
Switch S1-6 can be used to select either Auto
Equalize or Manual Equalize.
Termination Type
Switch S1-7 can be used to select either 2.37 V/C or
2.45 V/C 80% Trip Point.
S1-6 Equalize Type
Open Auto Equalize every 5th Cycle
Closed Manual Equalize
S1-7 80% V/C
Open 2.37
Closed 2.45
