2 OPERATING-PRESENTATION-INTERFACES

2.1 O

PERATING PRINCIPLE

The design of the battery charger is based on a high-frequency converter that transforms the DC signal 12V into
regulated and filtered DC signal 24V.
Once the type of battery and type of charge has been selected, operation of the battery charger is entirely automatic
(unless otherwise specified by the supplier or the manufacturer of the batteries). It can remain connected to the
batteries and does not need to be disconnected when starting up an engine (marine application), because it is
equipped with an integrated separator.

2.2 O

VERVIEW PRESENTATION

The chargers are divided into 2 zones :

• The user interface zone

• The energy conversion zone (all maintenance in this area is forbidden except with CRISTEC authorization, under

penalty of warranty termination)

Fixing of the charger is made by 4 x M5 round head screws (screw head diameter less than 10 mm).
Center distance : see corresponding drawing in the chapter “Charger overall dimensions”
