Product Manual
10 Manual Skylla with universal input
Temperature protection
The internal temperature of the charger is measured continuously. However,
due to a high ambient temperature outside the cabinet, the temperature within
the battery charger can rise. When the external temperature of the battery
charger becomes higher than 40°C, the output current decreases and the
Failure led flashes.
Before the internal temperature becomes too high due to extreme conditions
the charger switches off and the Failure LED illuminates continuously. The
charger resumes operation when the internal temperature is restored within
limits.
Voltage sense protection
When the voltage sense facility is used the charger automatically decreases the
output voltage when the voltage loss over the battery cables is more than 2 Volt
in total.
Battery watchdog timer
The charger is equipped with a battery watchdog timer. This timer measures
the duration of the boost mode. The moment the boost mode lasts longer than
10 hours, the charger will switch to float mode. The charging voltage will then
become the float voltage. In this way it is prevented that a defective battery is
needlessly charged with a high charging voltage.
