3 Stage Battery Charger User Manual

Keep this manual in a safe place for quick reference at all times.

This manual contains important safety and operation instructions for correct use of the battery charger. Read through the manual and

pay special attention to the markings and labels of the charger, battery and equipment connected to the battery system.

Pay special attention to these two types of notices used in this manual.

WARNING :

Failure to heed this warning may cause injury to persons and damage to Equipment.

CAUTION :

Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to equipment and improper functioning of the Charger.

WARNING :

● The charger is designed for in-door use. Protect the charger from ingress of water.

● This charger is made to charge only properly sized lead acid batteries.

● Charging other types of battery or under-sized lead acid batteries may cause fire or explosion.

● Install the charger in accordance with all local codes

● Do not use the charger if it has been dropped or damaged.

● Do not remove casing of the charger, there is no user –serviceable parts inside.

● Do not charge the battery on boats. Remove the battery and charge on shore.

● Never attempt to charge a frozen battery

● Never attempt to charge a damaged battery.

● Wear protective goggles and turn your face away when connecting or disconnecting the battery.

● Never place the charger on top of a battery .

● Never smoke, use an open flame, or create sparks near battery or charger during normal charging operation as batteries may give

out explosive gas.

● Do not charge batteries in an enclosure (box- in) due to possible explosion of entrapped explosive gas.

● Use of accessory not recommended may cause risk of fire, electric shock.

● Disconnect the mains supply before connecting or disconnecting the links to the battery.

● If the charger does not work properly or if it has been damaged ,unplug its AC and DC connection.

CAUTIONS :

● Refer to battery manufacturer’s specific recommended values for battery type settings and float voltage setting.

● Fix the charger to a stable surface using the holes at the flange.

● Ensure all ventilation ports are not obstructed for efficient fan cooling, keep loose soft material or paper off at the bottom of the

charger.

● If longer output charging cord is required, make sure the diameter is adequate for the current in given cable length.

Introduction Congratulations on purchasing our new 3-Stage (IU0U) Switching Mode Battery Charger. This battery charger is suitable for wet, sealed (RVLA), calcium-calcium, Gel and AGM in both car (SLI) and deep cycle type of lead acid battery. It is a “set and forget” automatic charger which can be permanently connected to battery. The 15A and 20A models have dual charge banks for charging two batteries simultaneously. The special selectable Power Supply Mode allows charging battery with external load.

B. Battery Type Selection AGM/GEL : Sealed type (VRLA) , AGM-GEL , Maintenance Free , Automotive or Deep Cycle lead acid batteries WET : Flooded Type lead acid batteries (to which water can be added) Automotive or Deep Cycle Calcium-Calcium : Sealed type (VRLA) Lead Acid batteries with Calcium content Automotive or Deep Cycle B1. FLOAT VOLTAGE SELECTION These fine tuned selections of float voltages enable the best voltage level for maximum battery life. Choose 13.8V when in doubt or in Power Supply Mode.

Stage 1. THE I-PHASE. The constant current charging , Bulk LED is on. Normally the battery is charged at constant maximum current until it rises to the selected Absorption voltage level. The charging voltage changes with the battery voltage. If the initial battery voltage is less than 10.5V due to deep discharge, the bulk charge current is reduced to half of the maximum until battery voltage rises over 10.5V. Stage 2. THE UO-PHASE . The constant voltage charging , Absorption LED is on .

Fig.3 Power Supply / 2 Stage Charger Mode Application H. Temperature Sensor The temperature sensor is available as an optional accessory (ATS-5100) and is used to optimal charging over wide ambient temperature range. Fix the temperature sensor (optional accessory) in a position on the battery which is not affected by other cooling or heating source. Plug in the temperature sensor before switch on the charger to activate the temperature control function, never plug in the charger during charging. Fig.
