3 PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
MicroGenius
® S2/S4 is a switchmode, regulated, filtered, microprocessor-controlled, current limited battery
charger designed for heavy-duty industrial service. Chargers may be configured for three primary applications: 1)
DC power and standby battery charging for industrial control and safety systems, 2) DC power supply and battery
charging for marine environments and 3) quick recharge and long life maintenance of engine start batteries. The
charger is provided in two enclosure sizes (S2 and S4) and with various output options. Every model provides
Modbus and J1939 communications, 5 alarm relays, easily readable alpha-numeric display and keypad. Optional
features include breakers, supplemental surge protectors, TCP/IP Modbus with native USB, IP22 drip shield as well
as multiple outputs configured to different output voltages. Charger specifications are detailed in the table below,
see following sections for installation and operation instructions.
