Note
If the EC pump is switched on, the blue LED „AIR“ on the operating and display unit is lit. The proper operation of the electrolyte circulation (EC) is monitored with a potential-free pressure switch in the pump housing.
If the charger detects a pressure drop during charging, the charging process will be continued with the charge factor 1.20. The blue LED “AIR” on the operating and display unit flashes. The respective operating state remains lit.
The battery will be charged with the original charge factor, if the pressure drop has been rectified within the first hour.
The EC pump must not be operated without counter-pressure.
Install the charger in such a manner that the built-in EC pump is placed at a distance of at least
0.5 m over the battery to be charged.
If an error message occurs (blue LED „AIR“ flashes), fully charge the battery without electrolyte circulation. Early interrupting may lead to an insufficient charge state. The available battery capacity is thereby reduced.
A restart is only performed after the battery has been disconnected.
5.10.2 Start-up block (o)
Onboard devices are equipped with a start-up lock. Here, the charger is connected to the automotive electronics.
The electric vehicle is disabled as long as the charger is connected to the supply voltage. The start-up block is a potential-free alternating contact (max. 42V 5A), which is conducted on a three-pole terminal strip.
! Warning
Warning of dangerous electrical voltage!
There is a risk of serious damage or injury, if the start-up block is wired improper.
5.10.3 Charging process with temperature compensation (o)
The temperature compensation adjusts the charging voltage (U1) to the measured battery temperature by means of an external temperature sensor.
If the maximal temperatures of the batteries are exceeded, the charger reports an error (see section
5.11 “Faults and error messages”) and interrupts charging. Depending on the used battery type, the set maximum temperatures vary as follows:
- Wet cell battery: 60°C
- Gel battery: 50°C
If the charger cannot establish a connection to the temperature sensor, a warning message is issued
(see section 5.12 “Warnings”) and charging proceeds.
5. Operation 39
5.10.4 External charging indicator (traffic light display) (o)
For a better and quicker visibility of the charging state from a larger distance, an external traffic light display with 360° allround signalling can be connected to the charger. The display is identical with the
LED display of the charger.
5.10.5 IP44 and IP54 housing (o)
Chargers with IP44/54 housings are equipped with dust filters, which are attached to the housing.
Note
To ensure flawless operation of the chargers, these have to be cleaned at regular intervals:
Check the dust filters for dirt monthly and clean or replace them, if necessary.
Polluted dust filters can be cleaned with compressed air. If this is no longer possible due to extreme pollution or wear, the filters have to be replaced.
The inspection intervals may need to be adjusted to the local conditions, e. g. if the dust generation is strongly increased.
These works may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
5.10.6 Dust filter and droplet separator (o)
The FILON FUTUR L and FILON FUTUR XL chargers can be equipped with a dust filter or droplet separator.
Note
To ensure flawless operation of the chargers, these have to be cleaned at regular intervals:
Check dust filters and droplet separators for dirt monthly and clean or replace them, if necessary.
Polluted dust filters can be cleaned with compressed air. If this is no longer possible due to extreme pollution or wear, the filters have to be replaced.
The inspection intervals may need to be adjusted to the local conditions, e. g. if the dust generation is strongly increased.

With the Wide Range Option, chargers can be operated with a supply voltage of 100V and 230V as well.
Note
There is only a limited power range available. Necessarily compare to the indicated input voltage range
(refer to “Technical data”).
If inappropriate devices are connected to a 100 V supply network, a flawless charging operation is no longer ensured. A destruction of the device is not excluded.
5.10.8 Aquamatik (o)
The “Aquamatik” option of the FILON FUTUR charger is used to trigger an automatic water refilling system. The water refilling system is used for the automatic adjusting of the nominal electrolyte level.
The charging gases escape through the degassing opening of the plugs. The valve inside the plug in connection with a floater and float linkage triggers the refill process with regard to the required water amount. The water pressure on the valve shuts the water supply off and ensures safe closing of the valve.
The automatic water refilling system can be triggered in several ways.
Triggering via:
- a potential-free contact
- a 230V AC voltage
- a 12V AC voltage
Note
Connection pressure / falling water
The water refilling system must be operated in such a manner that the water pressure inside the water pipe is between 0.3 to 1.8 bar. The installation height of the storage tank depends on the used water refilling system.
Triggering via:
Immersion pump:
The immersion pump generates the required filling pressure. The storage tank and battery must be placed without difference in height.
Valves without immersion pump:
In order to achieve the necessary filling pressure, the lower edge of the storage tank must be at least 3 cm above the upper edge of the battery.
