1: I phase (bulk)

At the beginning of the charging process, the flat battery is charged with a constant current (100 % charge current) until the battery voltage reaches the charging voltage. The charging current decreases when the battery has reached this charging level.

17

EN

Installing the device

MCA1215 – MCA2440

2, 3, 4: U0 phase (absorption)

Now the three-stage absorption charging process (U0 phase) begins, where the duration depends on the battery. The voltage remains constant (U0). In the first

2 minutes, the charging of the battery is determined. Then the main charging phase begins when the battery is fully charged.

Once the battery is completely charged, or the charging current is below 6 % of the rated charging current for 15 minutes, the U0 phase has finished.

5: U phase (float)

After the U0 phase, the battery charger switches to conservation charging function (U phase).

If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I phase and charges the battery.

6: 12-day conditioning

Every 12 days, the battery charger switches back to phase 1 for 85 min in order to revive the battery. This prevents any fatigue symptoms such as sulphation.

7Installing the device

When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:

The device can be installed horizontally or vertically.

8.5Setting the DIP switches

You can adjust the device using the DIP switch.

S1 is used to set the voltage at which the device switches over from the I phase (bulk) to the U0 phase (absorption) (also see chapter “Battery charging function” on page 17). S3 must be set to “OFF”.

S2 is used to set the retention voltage. S3 must be set to “OFF”.

When a battery sensor is connected, the output voltages is adapted to the temperature for these two functions:

MCA 12xx: –20 mV/°C

MCA 24xx: –40 mV/°C

S3 activates the power mode when either S1 or S2, or both, are set to “Off”. In power mode, the short circuit, overvoltage and overheating protection are controlled by the internal sensor.

When S1, S2 and S3 are set to “On”, then the function control by external devices is activated. Among others the type of battery and the charging voltage are set using the external device in this mode.

S4 regulates the fan function. When S4 is set to “On”, then the fan is switched to sleep mode (noise-reduced mode). When S4 is set to “Off”, then the fan is not regulated.
