4.5 Traction battery compensation
If a Traction-battery is connected to the Skylla charger the charge
voltages have to be changed. The output voltage has to be raised
to correctly charge the traction-battery. It is possible that the
charge voltages are not correct after activating this
compensation. See for adjusting the charge voltages chapter 4.2.
To set the charger into the traction mode:
Place DIP-switch 3 “trac” to the left.
4.6 Use as a power-supply
The Skylla charger can be used as a power supply without the obligation to
connect a battery to the charger output.
To use the charger as a power supply:
Put the charger into the permanent boost-charge mode, see chapter 4.1.
Adjusted the output voltage to the desired voltage, see chapter 4.2.
With the above mentioned procedure the output voltage range is limited. When the
full output voltage range is required please contact your Victron Energy dealer.
See chapter 6.3 for details.
4.7 Use of a temperature sensor.
The temperature sensor supplied with the charger can
be connected to the charger by using the 3 meter
cable with stripped and tinned cable ends. This
sensor should be mounted on the battery. The
temperature sensor adjusts the charging voltage
according to the battery temperature.
To connect the temperature sensor:
Disconnect the mains,
Connect the - (black wire) of the temperature
sensor to the “-tmp” connector, see illustration 8.
Connect the + (red wire) of the temperature
sensor to the “+ tmp” connector, see illustration 8.
Switch on the mains.
If the temperature sensor is correctly connected
the “TMP OK” on the printed circuit board led
illuminates. If this led does not illuminate or
flashes, the sensor is not connected correctly.
