7.0 COMMISSIONING

7.1 Start-Up

Before delivery the charger is factory adjusted in accordance with the test sheets. The actual

Setpoints loaded are recorded in the Downloaded System Setpoints in Appendix-2.

The factory settings for float and boost rate charge volts are calculated to correspond with the

number and type of battery cells.

Note:

Before testing the systems functions, the Commissioning Personnel should be familiar

with the factory setting of each set point, including alarm delays and latching functions.

Check that the mains supply matches the supply requirements stated on the Ratings plate.

Connect the mains power. Follow the start up procedure.

7.2 Checking Voltage Levels

Before making any adjustments and to obtain the correct set points of the charger, consult the

Downloaded System Setpoints in Appendix-2. Ensure the battery is fully charged, this

prevents unnecessary waiting time for the voltage to reach the boost level. When checking the

voltage, check that the charger does not operate in current limit or without load. A good rule

is to use a load current of between 5 and 80% of the nominal rated current.

7.3 Checking Float voltage

With the charger set to float, connect a precision voltmeter across the Charger Output

terminals X2 and take a reading.

If adjustment is required refer to the Adjustments section.

Note:

With zero current the charger output voltage may be slightly different from the

set Float voltage. Please take the readings with at least 5% load on the charger.
