Charging
WARNING! Risk of serious injury or damage from escaping battery acid or explosion if faulty batteries are charged. Before charging, ensure that the battery to be
charged is fully functional.
WARNING! Risk of serious injury and damage from incorrect charging settings or
a defective battery. Before beginning the charging process, ensure that the settings on the charger for the battery to be charged are correct and that the battery
is functioning properly.
NOTE! The device may be damaged if the charging plug contacts are very dirty.
The resulting increase in contact resistance can lead to overheating and subsequent destruction of the charging plug. Keep the charging plug contacts free from
impurities and clean them if necessary.
1
Plug the charger into the electrical mains supply
The display appears in standard mode. The
display shows the charger parameters:
Type of battery (e.g. wet)
Charging characteristic (e.g. IUI)
Nominal voltage (e.g. 48 V)
Capacity (e.g. 300 Ah)
Day of the week, date and time
The charger parameters can be set individually. More information on the charger parameters can be found under "Configuration mode" in the "Display functions" chapter. Ensure
that the battery to be charged matches the configuration of the battery charging system.
2
Connect the charging plug
or connect the
(+) charging lead to the positive pole of the battery and the
(-) charging lead to the negative pole of the battery
The charger detects that the battery is connected and starts charging. If start-up delay is
activated, then charging will start at the end of the set delay time. For more information,
see "Configuration mode" in the "Display" section.
During the charging process the display shows the following values:
Current charging current (A)
Current charging voltage (V)
The charge already input (Ah)
Battery temperature with the "temperature-controlled charging" option
The time (hh:mm) since charging started

Safety
In order to connect optional components it may be necessary to open the housing. The following warning notices must be obeyed:
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. The housing must never be opened
by anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer. The device must be disconnected from the mains before starting any work with the housing open. A suitable measuring instrument must be used to ensure that
electrically charged components (e.g. capacitors) are fully discharged. Use an
easily legible and understandable warning sign to ensure that the charger is not
reconnected to the mains supply before all the work has been completed.
WARNING! Work that is carried out improperly can cause serious injury or damage. All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried
out by qualified specialist technicians. If there are installation instructions or a
leaflet for the optional component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed.
In the case of all optional components with electrical connections, once the connection work is complete, a safety inspection must be carried out in accordance
with relevant national and international standards and directives. Further details
on safety inspections can be obtained from your authorised service centre. They
will provide you on request with any documents you may require.
Electrolyte circulation
NOTE! Risk of damage to air pump from the ingress of electrolyte from the battery
or from operation without any back pressure. Always set up the charger at least
0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.) above the battery to be charged. Always use an undamaged
connecting hose provided specifically for this purpose to connect the charger's
compressed air outlet to the battery.
NOTE! Failure to observe the permitted mains voltage tolerance can cause malfunctions and damage. For the electrolyte circulation option, a restricted mains
voltage tolerance vis-à-vis the charger of 207 V to 250 V applies.
The electrolyte circulation option features an air pump integrated in the charger. This introduces air into the battery through capillary tubes that are provided specifically for this purpose. This allows intensive mixing of the electrolyte to take place. The benefit is reduced
heating of the battery, and consequently longer battery-life, plus reduced water loss during
charging.
If a pump fault or leaks in the connection with the battery result in a fault being detected,
then the status code "Statecode 14" will appear on the display. One way in which this fault
can be indicated is by using an external indicator lamp to show a common error.
The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the charger's control system. A number of
selection options are available for this purpose in the configuration menu. More information
can be found under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
The default preconfigured programs 1 to 5 are among these selection options. The relevant
parameters for these programs are listed in the table below together with a subsequent explanation.

In each of these programs, the solenoid valve opens for a time "ON 1" and closes for a time
"OFF 1". This process is repeated for the number of times specified under "Repeat". After
this number of repetitions has been completed, the process continues with the "ON 2" and
"OFF 2" times until charging is completed.
Cleaning the air filter insert
The air filter insert for the integrated air pump should be cleaned once a year. In dusty environments, the cleaning interval should be shortened accordingly. The air filter insert (2)
must be removed for cleaning. Remove the air filter (1) by pulling it out and then refit it as
follows:

The external start/stop option prevents sparking if the charging plug is disconnected during
charging. Dedicated auxiliary contacts inside the plug detect the removal of a shorting
jumper in the counterpart before the main contacts have even become separated. This triggers an immediate stop to charging. As a result there is no wear to the main contacts, and
this arrangement safeguards more effectively against an oxyhydrogen explosion.

Suitable signal lamps can be connected to the connections inside the device as illustrated
in order to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. Each signal lamp
must have a working voltage of 12 V, and the total current drawn by all the lamps must not
exceed 0.5 A. Connections (1) to (5) in the Figure are assigned as shown below. It is advisable to use the lamp colours shown below:

If the RGB setting (LED strip) is set in the menu, then connection 3 (YELLOW) is not supported. The normal setting (conventional signal lamp) or RGB (LED strip) for the "External
Lamp" function is explained under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
Temperature-controlled charging
CAN card
The temperature-controlled charging option always adjusts the charging voltage according
to the current temperature of the battery. This results in considerably longer battery-life, especially where batteries are used in cold stores.
WARNING! Risk of serious injury and damage from using the CAN card for safety-critical functions. Do not use the CAN card for safety-critical functions.
The optional CAN card enables the charger's operating statuses and the connected battery's state of charge to be evaluated externally.
More information on the CAN card can be found in the instructions supplied with the CAN
card option.
Relay board
WARNING! Risk of serious injury and damage from using the relay board for
safety-critical functions. Do not use the relay board for safety-critical functions.
47
NOTE! Failure to observe the permitted mains voltage tolerance can cause malfunctions and damage. For the relay board option, a restricted mains voltage tolerance vis-à-vis the charger of 207 V to 250 V applies.
The optional relay board enables the charger's operating statuses and the connected battery's state of charge to be evaluated externally. One or more external consumers can also
be supplied with 230 V AC. A neutral conductor in the electrical mains supply is a prerequisite for this. The configuration of the relay board outputs is explained in the Operating
Instructions for the charger: "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
More information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied with the relay
board option.
There follows an overview of the options that are directly connected with the relay board.
These relay-connected options are activated through the relay board outputs:

Aquamatic control
The Aquamatic control contains the controller for a solenoid valve that automatically tops
up the water in the battery to be charged.
Standard setting:
At the start of the recharging phase, the solenoid valve opens for 12 seconds and
then closes for 4 seconds
This cycle is repeated 26 times
USER setting:
Configurable "ON" time (solenoid valve opens) after the end of the main charge
phase
Charging
The "Charging" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. While charging
is in progress, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Charge 50%
Like the "Main charge finished" function, the relevant relay switches as soon as the battery
is 50% charged.
Charge 80%
Like the "Main charge finished" function, the relevant relay switches as soon as the battery
is 80% charged.
48
The "Charging not complete" option lends itself to the actuation of an audible alarm device,
for example. If the battery is disconnected from the charger before the charging process is
complete, the relay switches for an adjustable time of 1 to 10 seconds.
Charge finish
The "Charge finish" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. Once the
configured charging characteristic is fully completed, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Main charge finished
The "Main charge finished" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. When
the main charge phase finishes, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Common error
message
The "Common error message" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance.
Each time an error is detected, the relevant relay picks up automatically.
Common error +
warning
In the same way as for the "Common error" function, the corresponding relay trips as soon
as an error or warning is detected.
Signal lamp
As an alternative to the charging lights, one or more suitable lamps can be connected to
the relay board to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. These
lamps can be designed for a voltage of up to 30 V DC or up to 250 V AC on a starpointearthed network.
If the lamp circuit is potential-free, then the switching current must not exceed 4 A. A lamp
that is actuated by the 230 V supply relay must be operated with an output current of max.
1 A.
Immobiliser
If the charger is built into the vehicle as an on-board device, then the optional immobiliser
will prevent the vehicle from being started unintentionally whilst charging is taking place.
This protects the vehicle, the battery and the charger leads from damage.
As soon as the vehicle is connected up to the mains supply, the corresponding relay picks
up and blocks the ignition signal for instance. Another example is the actuation of a suitable
signal lamp to convey the message visually that charging is currently in progress.
Battery cooled
down
The corresponding relay switches automatically once the time set in the menu has passed.
External air pump
- electrolyte circulation
This option enables an external air pump to be activated by a relay contact in the sense of
the "electrolyte circulation" option.

LED strip
The LED strip acts as a status indicator and lights up in the same colours as the display
elements on the control panel. An LED strip including a diffuser is installed in the gap between the front wall and upper part of the housing.
IP 23
The IP 23 option increases the IP protection rating of the device from IP 20 to IP 23. More
detailed information can be found in the corresponding User Information.
Air filter
In dusty environments, the air filter prevents the inside of device from becoming dirty. This
avoids a possible reduction in power or other problem. More detailed information can be
found in the corresponding User Information.
"Mobile" kit
A carrying strap and handle improve the mobility of the device.
RCS 3.0 remote
