OPERATION

3 OPERATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The MASS battery charger is a full-automatic high efficiency battery charger/rectifier, developed and produced by Mastervolt The MASS series features a family of advanced quality battery chargers. The Mass

Charger not only charges batteries rapidly and safely, it supplies the connected consumers at the same time. In addition, the Mass Charger is secured against short circuit, overload and high temperatures in an industrial environment.

3.1.1 Switching on

The battery charger will be switched on by the ON/OFF switch. One of the front LEDs will light up now and the charging starts immediately.

The battery charger will be switched off by the ON/OFF switch.

WARNING

Switching off the Mass Charger does not cut off the connection to the batteries or the ACsource. This means that voltages are still available inside the apparatus.

3.2 THEORY OF OPERATION

The battery charger is equipped with an intelligent 3-stage charge characteristic which takes care of an optimal charge of your batteries (see fig. 2). When switched on, the Mass Charger always starts at Bulk phase.

OPERATION

3.3.1 Bulk (LED 1 illuminates)

The battery is empty when only the first LED Bulk/ON illuminates. In this stage the Mass Charger gives full current (see fig. 2 stage A) and the battery voltage will slowly increase.

3.3.2 (LED 1 and 2 illuminate)

After reaching the level of 27.6V (24V charger) the battery is charged for about 25% and the second LED will also illuminate. The Mass Charger still gives the maximum output current and the voltage will increase till the absorption voltage level (see fig. 2 stage A). The maximum time of stage A is 8 hours.

3.3.3 Absorption (LED 1, 2 and 3 illuminate)

The battery has been charged for 80% (fig. 2 stage B).

The Mass Charger limits the charge voltage to a safe level and the charge current will decrease slowly during charging.

3.3.4 (LED 1 to 4 illuminate)

The charge voltage is limited at the absorption level. As the battery is almost full, the charge current will further decrease.

3.3.5 Float (LED 1 to 5 illuminate)

When all LEDs are illuminated the battery is fully charged.

The float charge stage provides a lower output voltage, sufficient enough to maintain the batteries at 100% charge but low enough to prevent your batteries from unnecessary stress. In this stage the Mass Charger is able to supply full current to the connected users/loads.

The Mass Charger automatically resumes operation in Bulk stage after it was disconnected from an AC-source temporarily.

CHARGING

By installing the battery temperature sensor the charge voltages are automatically adapted for deviating temperatures. This can increase the battery’s life time substantially and save you a lot of money.

See figure 4. When the battery temperature is low, the charge voltage increases. On the other hand, when the battery temperature is high, the charge voltage is decreased. Over charge and gassing are prevented this way. This will extend the life of your batteries.

3.5 COMPENSATION OF THE CABLE LOSSES

The Mass Charger can compensate the voltage drop occurring over the DC cables. For this purpose the Mass

Charger is provided with terminals for sense wires. The sense wires are connected closest possible to the batteries in order to charge them with the right voltage.

When only the minus sense wire is connected only the losses of the minus DC cable will be compensated.

Connecting both cables produces the best result, all losses will be compensated until a maximum of 3V in total.

The battery charger is equipped with an integrated alarm function. External equipment can be controlled by the potential free contacts of this alarm. The maximum switch current of the relay is 1A. Exceeding the setpoints (refer to section 7.7) will activate the alarm.

3.7 CHARGING A SECOND BATTERY

Some installations have a main battery set and besides this a smaller (cranking) battery with the same voltage. It is possible to maintain this second battery with the 3A output of the battery charger.

An equalizing charge can be necessary after very deep discharges and/or inadequate charges. This has to be carried out according to the specifications of the battery manufacturer.

WARNING!

Equalization is ONLY applicable for wet type batteries and will damage gel/AGM/Spiral type batteries!

Incorrect use of the equalize mode may lead to hazardous situations. Do not smoke or use any naked flame or other sources of ignition due to risk of explosion. Always ventilate the battery room during equalizing to clear the air.

During equalizing the batteries are brought into the gas state and permitted load voltages may be exceeded. Refer to chapter 9 for characteristics. Therefore appropriate measures must be taken, e.g. disconnect all loads from the battery and ventilate the room. For these reasons the equalizing mode should only be used by trained technical engineers.

The equalizing mode can only be started when the Mass

Charger is in operation. To start the equalize mode, select

Equalize in the MasterBus device settings (section 7.2).

 Humidity: 0-95% non condensing.

 Never use the Mass charger at a location where there is danger of gas or dust explosions

 Mount the Mass Charger in such a way that obstruction of the airflow through the ventilation openings is prevented. No objects must be located within a distance of 10 cm / 4 inch around the Mass

Charger.

 Mount the Mass Charger vertically, with the connecting cables downwards.

 Do not install the Mass Charger in the same compartment as the batteries. Do not mount the Mass

Charger straight above the batteries because of possible corrosive sulphur fumes.

4.2 CONNECTIONS

Before making the connection between the battery charger and the system be sure that the AC and DC system are switched off. Remove the fuses in order to protect yourself against unexpected start up.

INSTALLATION

4.3 WIRING

CAUTION!

The wire and fuse sizes stated in this manual are given as example only. Prescribed wire and fuse sizes may be different due to local applicable regulations and standards.

4.3.1

AC wiring

Check if the voltage of your mains source or generator corresponds with the AC input voltage of the battery charger as mentioned on the type number plate, see section 1.4.

Strip the cable according to fig. 5. It is important that the green/ yellow earth wire is ± 1 cm (0.4 inch) longer than the other wires. By accidentally pulling at the cable, the earth wire stays connected to the Mass Charger longer which offers additional safety. Connect the green/yellow wire to PE, brown to L1 and the blue wire to the N terminal. brown minimal green/yellow blue

WARNING!

The ground wire offers protection only if the cabinet of the Mass Charger is connected to the safety ground. Connect the ground terminal (PE

/ GND) to the hull or the chassis.

CAUTION!

For safe installation it is necessary to insert a

Residual Current Device (earth leakage switch) in the AC input circuit of the Mass Charger.

Keep the cable connection between charger and batteries shortest possible. If available, use coloured battery cables.

If this is not possible, mark the plus and the minus cables with coloured insulating tape, e.g. red for plus and blue/black for minus. Use the following diameters:

Connection of main batteries

1 Pull the cables through the cable glands of the Mass

Charger.

2 Crimp on the ring M6 terminals to the cable.

3 Connect the cables to the terminals of the Mass

Charger. Pay attention to the polarity, positive on positive / negative on negative.

4 Integrate a suitable fuse (charger fuse) in the positive cable. When using a DC distribution with fuses, no additional fuse is necessary.

5 Cut the cables at length and crimp on the ring terminals. Connect the cable to the DC distribution or batteries.

CAUTION

Reversing the positive and negative battery poles will severely damage the Mass Charger.

Too thin cables and/or loose connections can cause dangerous overheating of the cables and/or terminals.

Lay the positive and negative cables next to each other to limit the electro magnetic field around the cables. The negative cable should be connected directly to the negative post of the battery bank or the ground side of a current shunt. Do not use the hull or chassis frame as the negative conductor.

Always follow the instructions published by battery manufacturer. The minimum required battery capacity for

Mastervolt gel batteries is as follows:

60 Ah

If one or more batteries or battery sets must be charged at the same time via one output, a battery isolator should be used. It isolates the different battery sets from one another, in order to prevent one discharging the other. A consequence of the battery isolator is a voltage drop of 0.6

Volt. This voltage drop can be compensated in two ways:

1 By changing DIP-switch 4 to On (Diode enabled);

2 By using the voltage sense function (see section 4.8);

CAUTION

Never use both methods. Your batteries will be overcharged and severely damaged!

Mastervolt offers several Battery Isolators, refer to www.mastervolt.com.

For a proper installation, see also the connection diagram included with the battery isolator.

Steps:

1 Check if the Mass Charger, the main supply and the

DC distribution are switched off.

2 Check if the Dc fuses have been removed.

3 Connect the battery isolator(s) using cables with the same diameter as the battery cables.

4 Compensate the voltage drop over the battery isolator by changing the setting of dip switch 4 (see fig. 7).

5 Switch on the Mass Charger.

4.6 CONNECTION OF SECOND BATTERY

(3A OUTPUT)

The battery chargers are standard equipped with a second charge output of 3A in order to give a small second battery set like a starter battery a maintenance charge. The maximum charge current of the second output is 3A, which comes from the main output.

 Use 2.5 to 4 mm 2

cable for connection.

 Connect the minus of the second battery to the minus of the main battery.

 Connect the plus of the second battery to the +3A terminal of the Mass Charger (see fig. 7 and 8).

 Integrate a 10A slow blow fuse in the plus cable.

The standard temperature sensor is provided with 6 m cable and a double-sided tape for easy installation.

Determine the warmest place on the battery set and make it clean and grease free. Remove the piece of paper from the tape and stick the sensor on the battery. Plug the modular cable into a terminal at the right of the Mass

Charger (see fig. 7). It is not necessary to shorten the cable. When you want to shorten it anyway please notice the polarity of the plug and use the old connector as an example.

To shorten the charge time substantially, the battery cable losses can be compensated by using the sense function.

Use 0,75 mm

2

, preferably red and black wire and secure these with fuses of 2A slow blow. Connect the wires with the two upper terminals of the green connector at the right side of the cabinet (see fig. 7). Pay good attention to the polarity of the wires, red on +S and black on -S. Now connect the other side of the wires: black on the minus of the battery and red on the battery side of the Mass

Charger fuse.

4.9 ALARM FUNCTION

The battery charger is equipped with a potential free contacts alarm relay, see figure 7. The alarm function has two modes: standard (factory setting) and DC alarm mode

(continuous mode).

INSTALLATION

4.9.1 Standard alarm mode

In this mode the relay responds to all fault conditions that the Mass Charger can detect such as: no AC input voltage, too low DC voltage, voltage sense failure, temperature sense failure.

4.9.2 DC alarm mode

To enable this mode a DIP switch setting needs to be changed (switch 1 and 2 at ON). The alarm now works as a DC alarm and responds to the battery voltage only.

Note: In the DC alarm mode the electronics stay active permanently and drain a very small current of ± 25mA, also when the Mass Charger is switched off.

The Mass Charger 24/25-2 DNV is equipped with a larger connection compartment that offers more room for the cabling. Refer to section 9.2 Dimensions for more information on the larger DNV housing.

4.11 CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES

The battery charger is equipped with several terminals for accessories. Cable to connect the accessories is not delivered as a standard. Accessories can be plugged in at all times. The standard remote panel must be connected with an appropriate communication cable.

4.14 CONNECTION

WARNING

Let installation work be done by a licensed electrician. Before beginning with the connection of the wiring, make the AC distribution as well as the DC distribution voltage free.

CAUTION!

Short circuiting or reversing polarity may lead to serious damage to the batteries, the Mass

Charger, the cabling and/or the terminal connections. Fuses between the batteries and the Mass Charger can not prevent damage caused by reversed polarity. The damage as a result of reverse polarity is detectable by the service department and is not covered by the warranty.

This schematic is to illustrate the general placement of the

Mass Charger in a circuit. It is not meant to provide detailed wiring instructions for any particular electrical installation.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION!

Too-thin cables and/or loose connections can cause dangerous overheating of the cables and/or terminals. Therefore tighten all connections well, in order to limit transition resistance as far as possible. Use cables of the correct size.

NOTE:

If the battery temperature remains within 15-

25°C, connection of the battery temperature sensor is optional.

NOTE:

The Mass Charger is feasible for the connection of MasterBus and RS 232 compatible remote control panels.

14

10

Continue with section 4.16 for commissioning of the Mass Charger.


INSTALLATION

When your Mass Charger is not new, you have to take into account that former users may have changed the settings. Reset the Mass Charger to factory settings when there is any doubt (see section 7.1).

4.16.1 General

The factory settings of the Mass Charger are optimal for most installations. With some applications however, it is desirable to change these settings. Therefore several adjustments can be made. See chapters 5 and 7.

NOTE:

The DIP-switches must be adjusted prior to commissioning; all other settings can only be made after commissioning.

CAUTION!

Check the polarity of all wiring before commissioning: positive connected to positive

(red cables), negative connected to negative

(black cables).

If all wiring is OK, place the DC-fuse(s) of the DCdistribution to connect the batteries to the Mass Charger.

WARNING

When placing this fuse, a spark can occur, caused by the capacitors used in the Mass

Charger. This is particularly dangerous in places with insufficient ventilation, due to the gassing of the batteries an explosion can occur.

Avoid having flammable materials close by.

Now the Mass Charger is ready for operation. After switching on the AC power supply the Mass Charger will initiate the charging process.

During first commissioning the Mass Charger will be recognized by the MasterBus network automatically. The remote control panel of the MasterBus network will indicate that a new device was found.

Some settings can only be changed via the MasterBus interface. See chapter 7 for an overview of all available

MasterBus settings. Refer to the user’s manual of the remote control panel to change these settings.

4.17 DECOMMISSIONING

If it is necessary to put the Mass Charger out of operation, follow the instructions in order of succession as described below:

1 Switch OFF the Mass Charger (see section 3.1.2).

2 Remove the DC-fuse(s) of the DC-distribution and/or disconnect the batteries.

3 Remove the AC-fuse(s) of the AC-input and/or disconnect the AC-mains.

4 Open the connection compartment of the Mass

Charger.

5 Check with a suitable voltage meter whether the inputs and the outputs of the Mass Charger are voltage free.

6 Disconnect all the wiring.

Now the Mass Charger can be demounted in a safe way.

4.18 STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

When not installed, store the Mass Charger in the original packing, in a dry and dust free environment.

Always use the original packing for transportation. Contact your local Mastervolt Service Centre for further details if you want to return the apparatus for repair.

4.19 RE-INSTALLATION

To reinstall the Mass Charger, follow the instructions as described in this chapter (chapter 4).

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

5 DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

The Mass Charger settings can be adjusted in two ways:

 By means of DIP-switches;

 Via the MasterBus network (by means of a remote control panel or an interface connected to a PC with

MasterAdjust software); see chapter 7.

Once a DIP switch has been set to On,

MasterBus settings are disabled.

CAUTION!

Invalid settings of the Mass Charger can cause serious damage to your batteries and/or the connected load! Adjustments of settings may be undertaken by authorised personnel only!

5.1 DIP SWITCH OPERATION

The Mass Charger has four DIP switches, see figure 9.

These switches are operated by flipping the levers to the other position, using a small screw driver.

5.2 DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS

See the table below for the functional overview of the four

DIP switches

5.2.1 Force Float (DIP switch 1)

For special applications a fixed charge voltage can be required. The battery charger allows you to change the three stage charge program to a single stage program by activating the function "Force Float", switching DIP switch

1 to "ON".

The charge voltage will be fixed at 26.5V (24V charger)

6 MASTERBUS

6.1 WHAT IS MASTERBUS?

All devices that are suitable for MasterBus are marked by the MasterBus symbol.

MasterBus is a fully decentralized data network for communication between the different Mastervolt system devices. It is CAN-bus based which has proven itself as a reliable bus-system in automotive applications. MasterBus is used as power management system for all connected devices, such as the inverter, battery charger, generator and many more. This enables communication between the connected devices, for instance to start the generator when the batteries are low.

MasterBus reduces complexity of electrical systems by using UTP patch cables. All system components are simply chained together. Therefore each device is equipped with two MasterBus data ports. As only a few

MasterBus cables are needed, installation and material costs are reduced importantly. New devices can be added to the existing network easily. Consequently the

MasterBus network is highly flexible for extended system configuration. Mastervolt also offers several interfaces like the Modbus and NMEA interface, making even non-

MasterBus devices suitable to operate in the MasterBus network.

For central monitoring and control of the connected devices Mastervolt offers four different panels, from the small Mastervision compatible 120 x 65mm LCD screen up to the full colour MasterView System panel. All monitoring panels can be used for monitoring, control and configuration of all connected MasterBus equipment.

CAUTION: Never connect a non-MasterBus device to the MasterBus network directly! This will void warranty of all MasterBus devices connected.

6.2 HOW TO SET UP A MASTERBUS

NETWORK

Every MasterBus device is equipped with two data ports.

When two or more devices are connected via these ports, a local data network called the MasterBus is formed.

Keep the following rules in mind:

Place a terminating device on both network ends.

OK

Do not make ring networks.

OK

Do not make T-connections in the network.

MASTERBUS

Connections between the devices are made by standard straight UTP patch cables.

At least one device in the network must be MasterBus powering (see specifications). As all powering devices are galvanic isolated, multiple powering devices are allowed.
