Installation and User Guide

The CE-P is dual-voltage, and is designed to charge 30 volt or 48 volt batteries having a maximum capacity of
40 Ah or to maintain the charge of batteries having greater capacity. With numerous protections and advanced
functions, it guarantees reliable operation and extended life for your batteries.

It can also be configured in a power supply mode, with an adjustable output voltage.

2 START UP

The CE-P can be set either for an output of 30V or 48V. To select the output voltage, make sure the power is
off, open cover and place switch 1 into the desired position.

▪ Power Supply mode

To use CE-P as a power supply, power off and place switch 2 in the “adjust” position. When power is on, the
output can be adjusted between 30 and 40 volts for the 30V setting, and between 48 and 60 volts for the 48V
setting using “adjust” potentiometer. The setting can be written on the cover sticker as a reminder.

▪ Battery charger mode

Settings are pre-defined for Lead Acid Batteries. To use these settings, power off, set switch 2 into "auto"
position and select the desired charging level with switch 3. The "2.275 V/CELL" position corresponds to
sealed, maintenance-free batteries (PbSe). The "2.23 V/CELL" shall be used for flooded lead-acid batteries
(PbO).
If the desired charging voltage is different from these values, or if a NiCd battery is used, the output voltage
can be adjusted. Turn off the power, set switch 2 to “adjust”. Turn power on and set using the “adjust”
potentiometer. The setting can be printed on the label. Note: For Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) batteries, the usual
charging voltage is 1.42 V per cells.

CAUTION!

Before powering the unit:

▪ Respect mounting orientation of the product: vertically, connectors at the bottom.
▪ Verify that the vents are not obstructed. 50 mm required above and below unit.
▪ Check that the rated voltage corresponds to the application.
▪ If a specific output voltage is required, check the value on the sticker.
▪ Make sure cover is securely closed
▪ Before connecting the battery, verify polarity.

3 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

▪ FAULT report

CE-P features numerous protections to protect itself as well as the connected equipment. The faults
selected by switch 4 (position D: all defects are reported, mM position: thresholds of Max. and Min. faults are
reported) on a NO + NC dry contact (connector EC3), on standby or faulted. The blinking of the LED
indicates the type of alarm.
Battery low level: (fault stored in memory) 2-second threshold delay, set at 26 V for the 30 V position and
42 V for the 48 V position. LED blinks rapidly to indicate the alarm.
Charger High voltage: (fault stored in memory) protects the load in case of regulation loss by stopping the
charger. 5 second threshold delay, set at 42 V for the 30 V position and 62 V for the 48 V position. LED
blinks rapidly to indicate the alarm: disconnect mains and battery for 10 seconds to reset.

Mains off or mains fuse FS blown: (fault not stored in memory) the LED goes out
Battery fault following the test: (fault stored in memory) remove the strap between the “TEST” terminals of

connector EC4 to clear the fault. (See § Battery Test).

Note: in case of current limitation (output overload or deeply discharged battery) the LED intermittently blinks but no
remote alarm is signaled.

▪ BOOST function

To charge the batteries, it may be useful to use the BOOST function to increase the charging voltage for a
few hours. The CE-P features a BOOST function that raises the charging voltage by 3.8 % (PbSE) or by 5.4
% (PbO), limited to 2.5 V per cell.

This function is activated by connecting the “BOOST” terminals of connector EC4 for 2 seconds. The

terminal connecting cable shall not to exceed 2 meters. This mode lasts 12 hours. The mode can be
interrupted before the end of the 12-hour period by removing the EC4 connector for 2 seconds from the
“BOOST” terminals.

▪ Battery TEST

In order to ensure that the battery is capable of feeding the load, the CE-P features a built-in TEST function
that reduces the voltage to 30 volts when in 30 V position and to 48 volts when in 48 V position.

This function is activated by connecting the “TEST” terminals of connector EC4. The terminal connecting

cable shall not to exceed 2 meters.
After 30 seconds, the CE-P indicates the end of the test by a LED blink. If the battery is defective, meaning
that the voltage has dropped to 2 V / cell, the LED continues to blink fast and the remote alarm signals that

the battery must be replaced. Normal mode returns as soon as the strap between the “TEST” terminals is

removed.
