2 Equipment Description

The TS1340+ Battery Charger / Analyser is an electronically controlled combined universal battery charging unit with built in battery analysing capabilities. It is housed in a heavy-duty metal enclosure designed for wall mounting via six M8 fixing points on the rear. As it is supplied it is configured for use from a standard ship’s supply of 115V 50/60Hz, it can be alternatively supplied for use with 240V 50Hz mains. The technical manual will describe how the voltage selection can be changed.

Equipment control is via an interactive alphanumeric two-line display and data entry is via a 16key keypad. Operating modes and functions are selected by the use of a simple menu system. Access to charging and testing operations is performed by either entry of full Nato Stock Numbers (NSN) of batteries to be used. During operation the display will show the instantaneous values of battery voltage, current and time elapsed through the selected program. An alternative display is available which reports more technical information on the TS1340+’s internal status.

Battery data is stored internally in the TS1340+ in non-volatile memory. A complete list of NSN batteries is included along with the accepted charging and testing data. The operator can extend this list by entering the details of the battery to be included on the display and keyboard. The battery library data can be updated by remote control as and when required.

Batteries are connected to the front of the TS1340+ by means of two individual multi-pole connectors. Within the connecting leads multi-core cables are employed which allow the incorporation of two wire voltage sensing, this feature means that the TS1340+ measures the battery voltage at the battery and does not experience the effect of voltage drops due to cable losses. Connection to the battery has to be made via the appropriate connectors for that battery. The TS1340+ has provision for battery temperature monitoring this is not a functional feature at this time.

The TS1340+ has extended operating capabilities compared to its predecessor the TS1340. Maximum charge current has been increased to 25A for batteries 20V to 30V and 40A for batteries 1.2V to 20V. (Note for TS1340+ BAF50A this rating has been increased to 50A). Capacity testing has been increased to a maximum of 50A for a 28V battery and 60A for a 12V battery. (Note for batteries less than 10V discharge current has to be de-rated to allow for the TS1340+’s internal resistance). In all instances the power graphs need to be referred to as the ratings are for typical batteries, the maximum ratings are subject to de-rating for voltage. See the power graphs in the technical manual for more details.

The TS1340+ contains two hi flow rate fans to extract the heat energy generated internally when running in capacity test mode. In situations of extreme ambient temperature the TS1340+ is protected from overheating and thermal runaway by internal temperature sensors. When the heat thresholds are reached the operator is initially warned of the problem via an alarm and the display. When the maximum heat value is reached the TS1340+ will stop charging or testing and inform the operator by the display and audible alarm.

NSN 6130-99-391-3441 (TS1340+)

Battery Charger Analyser : Operator Manual

There is one capacity test program built into the TS1340+. This will discharge the battery connected at the current specified for the test duration specified. The capacity test will be stopped if the target threshold voltage is reached before the full test time has elapsed. During the capacity test and when it is terminated the display will show the amount the capacity test is complete as a percentage.

There are six charging regimes built into the TS1340+. For Lead Acid (Pb) there are two, constant current and constant voltage. For Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) there are four, 0.1C charge,

0.2C charge, Two-step charge and Three-step charge. All these charging regimes are discussed later in the document. For all capacity tests and charge regimes the reason for the test being terminated is reported on the display.

The TS1340+ has a Top Hat capability built into the unit. This is currently not available and will appear in later revisions.

The TS1340+ contains the software that will allow it to be calibrated by the operator in the field. The equipment needed is a good 24V battery, an ammeter capable of reading up to 40A (or a shunt and milli-voltmeter combination) and a voltmeter capable of reading up to 30V. The recalibration process only takes a few minutes and this is done without the need to access the internals of the TS1340+.

The TS1340+ has been designed in such a manner that the software can execute some preliminary fault finding tasks in order to track down the source of a fault in the event of breakdown.

Inbuilt into the TS1340+ is the ability to provide a hard copy of library lists and results of charge and test operations. This is achieved by connected a standard ASCII compatible serial printer to the relevant connector on the TS1340+.

3 Battery Charger Analyser TS1340+ Overview

3.1 Battery Room Specifics

This manual deals only with the scope of use of the equipment and does not cover battery room specifics such as handling, filling, fume extraction etc. These items will be covered in other relevant documentation.

For all methods of use of the battery charger the battery to be tested or charged must only be connected when the charger is either: a) Not powered up, or b) Powered up and not executing a charge or test function.

The battery SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED from the TS1340+ when a charge or test is in progress. Doing so would damage the equipment, and possible draw an electrical arc that, may cause an explosion from the venting gases being emitted from the battery. Care must also be executed in ensuring that the bared ends of the battery leads do not come in contact with the metalwork of the charger as this may also cause electrical arcing and or explosion risk.

3.2 General Operation

When power is applied to the TS1340+, it will perform some internal self-tests and the following display will be shown:

* * * * T S 1 3 4 0 + * * * * * I s s u e 2 1 7 . 0 2 . 2 0 0 3 P e r f o r m i n g S e l f T e s t . . P l e a s e W a i t .

Once internal test are complete, (this takes only two to three seconds) the following main screen will be shown:



or the use of numeric data shown by preloaded numeric values and a flashing cursor thus:

0 . V

For field data input repeated use of the down arrow key would cycle through all the available permutations for the particular example. Once the desired value is found this is selected by pressing

the key.

For numeric data input the use of the

keys will insert corresponding numbers and decimal point as appropriate. The back arrow

key will erase the previously entered number allowing for corrections.

At any time with any data entry or menu selections the key will abort whatever is being done and revert back to the charger default screen.

4 Connecting A Battery

Provided with the TS1340+ is one set of leads terminated with 8mm Ring Crimp Connectors. These leads are specially made and have a separate sense wires running in parallel with each of the heavy current charge/discharge wires. The 8mm ring crimps should be fitted with suitable battery connectors to suit the battery being charged.

Always connect the battery leads to the TS1340+ before attempting to connect the battery to be charged/tested. All four leads must be connected to the TS1340+. The heavy welding style connectors first and then the appropriate sense wires. Black plug to Black Socket and Red plug to Red socket.

5 Battery Discharge Operation

The modes of operation are the same for both lead acid and alkaline batteries, so discharge parameters entered are the same for both types. Therefore the references in this section will be made to refer to either type.

5.1 Parameters Required

The TS1340+ requires three basic parameters to be entered for this function.

a) Test Trip Voltage.

The test trip voltage is important and must be entered on custom library data because the TS1340+ uses this to define the point at which the battery has reached it's set discharged point

b) Test discharge current.

During the period of discharge the TS1340+ will regulate the current drawn from the battery at this level, regardless of terminal voltage.

c) Test time.

The maximum time that the test must perform, before being terminated.

5.2 Test Operation

The test is performed by discharging the battery by the current set in (b), for a maximum time set in (c).

If a battery achieves this target it is considered to be 100% or more efficient.

If the battery terminal voltage falls to (a), then the TS1340+ will terminate the process and report the capacity as a percentage of elapsed time.

It is important that when entering custom library entries that the manufacturers recommendations are referred to for capacity test parameters.

As a general guide it is usual to have typically the ampere/hour rating of the battery as the discharge current and the time set to one hour. The termination voltage us set to typically 20V for a 24V battery.

Example: For a 24V 44A/H battery the following parameters would set.

Trip Voltage 20 Volt Discharge Current 44 Ampere Time 1 Hour

If the battery under test fails with by falling to the trip voltage after 55 minutes then it's

6 Battery Charge Operation

6.1 Lead Acid Constant Voltage Charge

6.1.1 Parameters Required

a) Target constant voltage.

This is the constant voltage target value that the charger will maintain during the charge cycle.

b) Maximum charge current.

This value of current is the maximum current that he charger will charge the battery at before it achieves it's constant voltage mode.

c) Duration of complete charge.

This time is the maximum time that the charger is to charge the battery before termination.

d) Minimum charge current.

Sets the value of current that when reached terminates the charge process.

This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.

e) Current threshold.

This sets a safety point that once the charger has reached it's maximum current: the current would normally fall. If the charge current then proceeds to rise to a value greater than this setting then the charge process is terminates, indicating that there is a potential problem with the battery.

This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.

f) Current to potential changeover time.

If the target voltage has not been reached within this time then the charge process is terminated indicating a battery fault.

This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.

6.2 Lead Acid Constant Current Charge

6.2.1 Parameters Required

a) Battery Nominal Voltage.

This is the normal nominal voltage of the battery to be charged.

b) Battery charge current.

This is constant current required to charge the battery.

c) Battery overcharge voltage.

This is the overcharge voltage of the battery.

6.2.2 Charge Operation

At the start of charge the charger will monitor the open circuit voltage of the battery before starting. It will use this value to calculate the approximate duration of the constant current charge.

This is based on the following algorithm: -

DURATION = -(OCV-(NOMINAL+(NOMINAL * 0.075)))*(199.2 / NOMINAL)

Where: DURATION: LENGTH OF CHARGE IN HOURS OCV: BATTERY OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE NOMINAL:BATTERY NOMINAL VOLTAGE

This algorithm has been derived from the specifics of MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AIRCRAFT BATTERIES GENERAL AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION AP113c-0001-1 3rd edition. The following table illustrates the source of data that was used to derive the algorithm.

Typical charge rates are:

6.4 Alkaline Two And Three Step Charge

6.4.1 Parameters Required

a) Step charge current

This consists of one two or three charge current values.

b) Step charge duration

For each step a value of time for the duration of the charge must be set.

c) Battery Overcharge Voltage

This voltage is the setting, which defines when the battery has reached an overcharged state.

6.4.2 Charge Operation

In this mode the charger will start the charge at the step one current (a) for the duration of charge (b). Once the duration for this step has expired it will switch to step two and charge at the step two current for the duration specified. Once this step has expired it will then switch to step three and perform the charge using the step three parameters. During all steps of the charge it will monitor the battery terminal voltage and stop the charge if this is exceeded. If no current is specified during any one of the steps but a valid duration the charge will effectively rest for that duration. This is a useful feature where using three-step charge the middle step can "rest" the battery before completing the final charge.
