Pro Charge Ultra Instruction Manual
This product requires a knowledge of both AC and DC
electrical installation. Please do not install this product unless
you are qualified to do so. All effort is made to make the
instructions as safe as possible but it is not possible to cover
all electrical safety and installation aspects. Sterling can only
assume a certain basic knowledge is held by the installer.
Only to be installed by qualified personnel.
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK
ENSURE YOU TURN OFF AND REMOVE ANY AC POWER
AND CHECK VOLTAGES TO MAKE SURE THE CIRCUIT IS OFF.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAKE CONNECTIONS
IN A WELL VENTILATED ATMOSPHERE FREE FROM
EXPLOSIVE FUMES. IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR SAFETY
GOGGLES WHEN WORKING NEAR BATTERIES.
DANGER
LOW VOLTAGE
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL
BURNS & SPARKS ENSURE YOU DISCONNECT ANY DC
POWER AND CHECK VOLTAGES TO MAKE SURE THE CIRCUIT
IS OFF BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK.
CAUTION
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HOT SURFACES - TO REDUCE RISK OF BURNS DO NOT
TOUCH THE UNIT WHEN IN SERVICE.
ONLY CHARGE THE CHEMISTRY PROFILES WHICH ARE
COVERED BY THE PRESET VALUES OF THE UNIT.
IF CUSTOM SET, VALUES MUST ADHERE TO THAT OF THE
BATTERY MANUFACTURE. GETTING THE VALUES WRONG
COULD LEAD TO GASSING AND EXPLOSION OF BATTERIES.
ONLY USE THIS CHARGER WITH LITHIUM- LiFePO4 BATTERIES
IN CONJUNCTION WITH A Battery Management System FOR
FAILURE TO FIT A B.M.S. COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
For Multi battery type and
voltages Complementary
addition:
Battery Chemistry Module (BCM).
Allows for multiple chemistry
charging simultaneously from
one charger (different battery
types). Also allows for 24V
charging from 12V charger.
Read page 5.
PCU Top Functions:
1) 11 preprogrammed battery curves including LiFePO4.
2) 1 custom set, can be set from charger, no need for computer.
3) 2 x digital meters for current and voltage measurement.
4) 1 x power meter to show what reserve power left on the unit.
5) Active PFC, up to 0.99 pf, ensuring efficient power conversion
6) Synchronized rectification output as opposed to diode output (+10% efficiency)
7) High voltage de-sulphation cycle.
8) New, low activity, standby mode to increase battery life.
9) Battery health program.
10) Multiple speed fan control to reduce unnecessary fan noise.
11) Primary (processor digitally controlled) and an emergency backup.
12) 32 LED information panel.
13) Internal scan and systems check.
14) Remote control.
15) Small footprint and light weight.
16) Include battery temperature sensor.
17) USA CEC listed (default setting is on, CEC can be turned off). CEC
regulation stipulates that the charger is only on when necessary. This
reduces AC power consumption and lowers operational costs, while
maintaining healthy batteries.
18) % power reduction to allow unit to work with restricted input power.
19) Conforms to A.B.Y.C. drip test. Waterproof when water is dropped directly on
to the top of the unit ( +/ - 17 degrees ) if installed correctly (vertically).
20) The printed circuit boards are conformal coated for high humidity operations.
