THIS UNIT IS IGNITION PROTECTED

Top Function

1) 11 pre programmed 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) PFC, active, up to 0.99 pf, ensuring efficient power conversion, up to almost 90% as

opposed to about 50% for older non PFC technology.

6)New synchronised rectification output as opposed to diode output, giving up to an extra10%

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 experienced by the customer,

even though the new extreme efficiency reduces the need for fans, at high ambient

temperatures: ( 40-50 deg C ) fans would still be required to ensure operation.

11) Primary ( processor digitally controlled ) and an emergency backup secondary (analogue

controlled) high voltage trip.

12) 32 LED information pane.

13) Internal scan and systems check.

14) Remote control

15) Small footprint and light weight

16) Include battery temperature sensor

17) As with all our marine chargers no exposed ferrous metals used, only aluminium/stainless

steel/copper /brass/gold, exposed to air.

18) % power reduction to allow unit to work with restricted power available ( available on local

control or remote control panel ),

19) Conforms to A.B.Y.C. drip test, is water proof from water directly dropped on to the top of

the unit ( +/ - 17 deg ) if installed correctly (vertically)

20) The printed circuit boards are conformal coated for high humidity operations.

This product requires a knowledge of both a/c and d/c electrical

installation. Please do not install or attempt to install this product

*Lithium must be used in conjunction

with a lithium balancing system.

High current capable of causing sparks burns and fires,

always disconnect the D/C cables from the batteries

before working on the D/C side. Intended for both

COMMERCIAL and DOMESTIC use.

To avoid serious injury or death from electric shock. Before

opening, turn off the main A/C power. Do not expose to rain

nor spray. Replace defective wires/cords before use. Always

read the manual before operating the charger.

Installation Install in cool dry well ventilated space. This product has a high heat tolerance and can be installed in a engine room. This product is ignition protected and can be installed near the batteries. Charger MUST be installed vertically to allow for convection air flow and also in the vertical position the product is drip proof.

Pro Charge ULTRA Sterling Power Ground / bonding / earthing . This is extremely important and often overlooked there are, in effect, 3 grounds, 1)the earth wire ( A/C input, the ground ) , 2) the Chassis / bonding ground ( going to a vehicle body / boats bonding system, the bolt on the side of the charger ) 3)the D/C negative. In most installations all these will end up at the same point, ie the A/C power source should be connect to the boat/vehicle chassis ( for safety ).

power and DC connections prior to maintenance or cleaning. 6) Turning off controls WILL NOT reduce this risk. 7) Use of extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If an extension cord must be used, make sure: a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape of those of the plug on the charger. b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical. g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use. Exception: The instruction manual for a battery charger, marked in accordance with exception No.2 to 49.3 and constructed to prevent current flow in excess of 0.

Genug - - - - - Luftzirkulation ist nötig, installieren Sie es nicht in einem Kasten oder einem abgedichteten Abteil. Installieren Sie es so nahe als möglich zu den Batterien, vorzugsweise innerhalb 2m Radius. Schalten Sie immer den Strom ab bevor Sie damit zu arbeiten beginnen. Stellen Sie den Batterietyp ein bevor dem Einschalten.
