9. BATTERY CHARGER AND BATTERY CHARGING.
The battery charger must be mounted in a vibration free area inside the cab or indoors and be
protected against damp and temperature variations.
· The normal charging time for an empty uncharged battery, is approximately 12-14 hours.
· The battery charger should be connected directly to the vehicle battery to enable charging
during idle time.
· The batter charger is constructed so that no damage will occur from long continuous
charging.
· The supply voltage to the battery charger should be +11 VDC to +30 VDC.
There are two indicating LEDs on the battery charger :
· RED LED (POWER) : indicates supply power available ( i.e. from the vehicle battery ).
· GREEN LED (CHARGING) : indicates that charging is taking place.
A fuse-holder ( bayonet type ) is located next to the connecting cable and contains a glass fuse
3 Amp. ( quick ), size 5 x 20 mm .
Polarity for the connecting cable: + Blue and - Brown.
The battery charger current without battery pack is:
130 - 140 mA.
The terminal voltage at the battery charger terminals is approximately the same as the vehicle battery voltage.
Defective / non-functioning battery charger:
If the driver is using cable control and the battery pack is in place in the control unit, the
battery will be charged automatically. See also below.
Battery charging via cable control, for ex. over night : (Charging time is approx. 12-14 hours).
Place the battery pack in the control unit (emergency stop depressed) and connect the cable
between the control unit and the electronicbox (emergency stop on the crane activated).
The electronicbox must be in Remote : (Power, and LED No. 4 should blink). Battery charging is
now taking place !
