Safety In order to connect optional components, it may be necessary to open the hous-

ing. Observe the following warnings:

WARNING!

Danger of electric shock.

This may result in serious injuries or death.

The housing must never be opened by anyone other than a service technician

▶

trained by the manufacturer. Before working with the housing open, the device must be disconnected from

▶

the grid. A suitable measuring device must be used to ensure that electrically charged

▶

components (e.g., capacitors) are completely discharged. With the aid of a clearly legible, understandable warning sign, ensure that

▶

the device remains disconnected from the grid until all work has been completed.

WARNING!

Danger due to work that is not carried out properly.

This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.

All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried

▶

out by qualified specialist technicians. If there are Installation Instructions or User Information for the optional

▶

component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed. For all options with electrical connections, a safety inspection must be car-

▶

ried out in accordance with the applicable national and international standards and guidelines after connection work has been carried out. You can obtain more information about the safety inspection from your au-

▶

thorized Service Partner. The Service Partner will provide the necessary documents upon request.

▶

WARNING!

Danger from devices falling or toppling over.

This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.

Due to its weight, the device must be secured against falling down and top-

▶

pling over by means of suitable mounting accessories. The wall and ﬂoor brackets offered by the manufacturer must be used.

Electrolyte circulation

NOTE!

Danger due to electrolyte penetrating from the battery or due to operation without backpressure.

Damage to the air pump may result.

Always position the battery charger so that it is at least 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.)

▶

above the battery to be charged. Always connect the compressed air output on the battery charger to the bat-

▶

tery via the hose connection provided, ensuring it is in perfect condition.

NOTE!

Danger due to non-compliance with the permissible mains voltage tolerance.

Malfunctions and damage to property may result.

For the electrolyte circulation option, a limited mains voltage tolerance of

▶

207 V to 250 V, phase-phase, applies compared to the battery charger: 360 V to 433 V.

The electrolyte circulation option has an air pump integrated into the battery charger. This delivers air into the battery via specially designed capillary tubes. This results in an intensive mixing of the electrolyte. The benefit is less battery heating, a longer battery life and less water loss during charging.

If an error is detected due to a pump defect - or due to leaks in the connection to the battery - the status code "Statecode 14" appears on the display. This defect can be indicated as a common error by means of an external signal lamp, for example.

The sequential control of the electrolyte circulation takes place via the battery charger control unit. Several selection options are available in the configuration menu for this purpose. Detailed information can be found in the "Additional functions" section of the "Display" chapter.

These selection options include the factory default programs 1 through 5. The relevant parameters for these programs are shown in the table below, followed by an explanation.

The optional relay board enables the external evaluation of the battery charger's operating states and the state of charge of the connected battery. It is also possible to supply one or more external loads with input voltage L-N. This requires an existing neutral conductor in the electrical network. An explanation of the configuration for the outputs of the relay board can be found in the Operating Instructions for the battery charger: Chapter "Display", section "Additional functions".

Detailed information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied with the relay board option.

Enclosed is an overview of options directly related to the relay board. These relay board-specific options are controlled via the outputs of the relay board:

Aquamatic The Aquamatic control includes the control of a solenoid valve for automated

water refilling at the battery to be charged.

Standard setting

At the beginning of the recharging phase, the solenoid valve picks up for 12

seconds, then the solenoid valve drops out for 4 seconds. This cycle repeats 26 times.

USER setting

Adjustable "ON" time (solenoid valve picks up) after the end of the main charging phase.

Charging The "Charging" option is suitable for controlling a signal lamp, for example. While

charging is in progress, the corresponding relay automatically picks up.

Charge 50 % In the same way as the "Main Charge Finished" function, the corresponding relay

switches as soon as the battery is charged to 50%.

Charge 80 % In the same way as the "Main Charge Finished" function, the corresponding relay

switches as soon as the battery is charged to 80%.

Charge not complete

Charge Finish The "Charge Finish" option is suitable for controlling a signal lamp, for example.

Main Charge Finished

Cumulative Error

The "Charge not complete" option is suitable for controlling an acoustic signal generator, for example. If the battery is disconnected from the battery charger before the charging process is completed, the relay switches for an adjustable time of 1 to 10 seconds.

When the configured charging characteristic is complete, the corresponding relay automatically picks up.

The "Main Charge Finished" option is suitable for controlling a signal lamp, for example. At the end of the main charging phase, the corresponding relay automatically picks up.

The "Cumulative Error" option is suitable for controlling a signal lamp, for example. Every time an error is detected, the corresponding relay automatically picks up.
