INSTALLATION - USE - OPERATION

To use the charger, you have to abide by safety prescriptions contained in law and
regulation and in provisions of local authorities.

Obligations of the “USER” : conforming to the operating instructions, the “USER” is any
natural or juridical person using directly Powergen srl battery chargers or anyone using
them for account of the above mentioned person.
Under special circumstances,e.g.leasing renting, the “USER” is the person who takes
following obligations according to the agreements made by owner and “USER”.
The “USER” will be responsible for the installation site of the charger. He shall check
,whether very sensitive appliances are disturbed by the influence of the battery charger.
He shall choose such an installation site,that the operation of the charger(a high current
produces interferences magnetic fields) does not affect the functioning of electromagnetic
devices and magnetic data carriers (f.e.pace makers,monitors,magnetic disks and
diskettes,magnetic tapes,magnetic card, etc…).
The “USER” shall make sure that “USER”s and operators have read and understood the
operating instructions and that they abide by accident prevention and safety rules and the
use and maintenance provisions.

N.B. Read the following instructions carefully before connecting the

rectifier to the supply line and to the battery.

1. INSTALLATION

q The installation environment shall be capable of ensuring the user’s safety and the

conditions for a correct operation

q Powergen Processor battery charger is exclusively designed to recharge traction

batteries and each unit is assigned to a specific battery.

q Powergen Processor battery charger has IP 20 protection degree, therefore it shall be

protected from rain and water sprays. It shall be installed away from easily inflammable
materials and shall not be used as a supporting top. The presence of dust and/or
corrosive environments may damage the components seriously.

q Do not lay any materials which may obstruct the natural cooling air flow
q The rectifier shall be laid on the floor in vertical position. For special requirements it

may also be placed on special raised shelves.

ATTENTION :

VIBRATIONS DURING TRANSPORT COULD CAUSE UNPLEASANT
DRAWBACKS, SO BEFORE STARTING UP THE UNIT, PLEASE CHECK NUTS
AND BOLTS FOR TIGHTNESS.

POWERGEN s.r.l.

2. CONNECTION TO THE SINGLE_PHASE LINE

q It is absolutely necessary to plug into a current outlet being proportional to the power

of the installed battery charger.

q Make sure also the EARTH cable has been correctly connected.
q The unit comes connected for a 240V Single-phase line.

3. MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING

q During the installation (or after a displacement) we recommend to check the mains

voltage of the supply line which, if found high or low compared with the rated values,
may cause problems due to a higher or lower delivery of current during the charge.

q As a result, check this value and adjust it, if needed, via the ADJUSTING PLUGS

placed in the terminal board on the transformer.

q Such control is to be carried out by qualified staff and/or by service centres.

4. MAINTENANCE

q No scheduled maintenance is provided, though control and cleaning inspections may

be performed within the battery charger system depending on its work environment.
However such operations shall only be carried out by qualified staff.

q Any maintenance intervention shall only be carried out after disconnecting the rectifier

from mains and from the battery.

q For a correct operation we recommend to check the mechanical tightening of electric

connections and the good status of wires and connections and to remove the existing
dust.

Polycarbonate plate with charging data Pic. (1)

- Before charging the unit, read the instruction manual carefully;

ATTENTION :

- Check the input voltage and adapt the regulation on the power transformer

- Explosive gases - Avoid sparks or flames
This battery charger includes parts such as circuit breakers or relays that may

cause electric arcs or sparks. Thus, if used in a garage or a similar environment,
place the battery charger in a suitable room.

- For indoor use only - do not expose the unit to the rain or similar elements

5. OPERATION

LED 1 (yellow)

Off Battery disconnected
Flashing Battery connected initial charge with main present
On fixed Battery connected no main present

LED 2 (green)

Off Initial charge. The charge starts and the voltage per cell is lower than 2.4V.
Flashing Charged battery. Means 3/4 hours have gone and the battery is charged.
On fixed Battery charged within 12 hours

LED 5 (red) Maximum time. Lights if the battery has not reached the full charge within 12 hours. The remote
control switch will be placed in quiescent position

ATTENTION, PLEASE:

BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND
THE CHARGER, PLEASE, MAKE SURETHE CHARGE LIFE CYCLE HAS
FINISHED, OTHERWISE BEFORE DISCONNECTING YOU MUST STOP THE
CHARGE MANUALLY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITY STANDARDS.
THIS OPERATION GUARANTEES MORE RELIABILITY OF THE INNER
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE EQUIPEMENT.

6.1 PROBLEM – SOLUTIONS AND CHECKS

PROBLEM SOLUTIONS AND CHECKS

The battery charger is not starting

- Check the battery connection

- Make sure the battery voltage is suitable for the battery charger voltage

- Check the efficiency of the d.c. fuse on the output

- Make sure the three phases are present in the line voltage

The battery charger is not charging
sufficiently

- Check the supply voltage. In case it is low, modify the tap on the transformer (-5%)

- Make sure the three phases for line input are present

- Via a clip-on ammeter check the symmetry of alternate currents on the rectifier bridge input

The battery charger is delivering an
excessive charge

- Check the supply voltage. In case it is high, modify the tap on the transformer (+5%)

- Make sure the control panel is preset for the type of battery used (correct choise of battery cells amount)

The battery charger is connected
correctly, but the control panel is not
switched on (or it is switched on in an
incorrect way)

- Replace the microprocessor-controlled electronic card

The system is efficient, though the
battery cannot keep the autonomy for
the required time

- Check the batteries’ status (sulphated battery – faulty cells)

7. REQUEST OF SPARE PARTS AND/OR SERVICE REQUEST

q We recommend to always advise the serial number of the battery charger.

8.TECHNICAL NOTE:
These charging systems are capable of charging the battery either with the
Wa characteristic according to DIN41774 standard (see table “one charging stage only”)
Such systems provide the possibility of carrying out timed equalized charges or voltage
sensing charges, see programming manual.

• Charge at decreasing current with intervention of the final charge at 2.40 V/cell

• Final charge with timed control 9h / 11h

• Fixed charging time (equalization charge excluded)

• Equalization charge (week-end charge) to be recalled. It will start after 55' from
charge end

• Duration of equalized charging phase: each hour 5' (repeated for 48 hours)

• Calculation to determine the size of suitable battery charge: 16A for every 100 Ah
of the battery (e.g. 500 Ah battery: 16Ax5 = 80A)
