2. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

2.1. Installation

Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Skylla charger and battery. Keep the cable length between the charger and the
battery less than 6 meters.
The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Vertical mounting improves the air circulation within the charger cabinet and will prolong
the lifetime of the battery charger.

Wall mounting

The unit can best be mounted to a wall using the supplied mounting plate. With this plate fixed to the wall, the charger can be hung
on this mounting plate. The charger can then be fixed by installing two screws at the lower backside of the charger. Now the charger
is fully secured.

Wiring

The inlets for the mains cable, the battery cables, the remote functions and the connection to attach the earth cable are located at
the bottom of the housing, see Figure 1 for the two output models and figure 3 for the three output models

ONNECTION BLOCK FOR EXTERNAL SENSORS, SWITCH AND RELAY

+ ­Voltage
sensor

2.3.1. External voltage sensor (see fig 3)

External voltage sensing may be used when accurate battery voltage sensing is important, such as high charging currents in
combination with long cables.

To connect the external voltage sensing option, proceed as follows:

• connect a red wire (0.75 mm2) between the positive battery pole and connector "+ Voltage sensor"

• connect a black wire (0.75 mm2) between the negative battery pole and connector "- Voltage sensor”

• check that the accompanying LED is lit, otherwise check cabling

2.3.2. External temperature sensor

The external temperature sensor, supplied with the charger, can be connected to these terminals in order to perform
temperature compensated charging of the battery. The sensor is electrically isolated and must be connected to the negative
pole of the battery.

To connect the temperature sensor, proceed as follows:

• connect the red wire to connector "+ Temperature sensor"

• connect the black wire to connector "- Temperature sensor"

• mount the temperature sensor on the negative pole of the battery

• check that the accompanying LED is lit, otherwise check cabling

2.3.3. Remote on/off

The wiring of the remote switch requires extra attention. Since this input is quite sensitive it is advised to use twisted wires for this
connection.

The remote on/off input can also be connected to an open collector optocoupler: the open circuit voltage is 3 V and the closed
circuit current is 100 µA.

When no remote switch is connected the remote on/off terminals must be short circuited by a short wire.

2.3.4. Alarm relay connections

The alarm relay is triggered by a battery under-voltage situation (<23,8 V). The function may be used for any desirable action:
starting a generator, sounding an alarm etc.

2.3.5. CAN bus connection (VE.Can)

The CAN bus connectors (RJ45) provide access for control (Skylla-i remote control panel or NMEA 2000).
The two RJ45 connecters in each charger (see figure 7) are parallel connected. There is therefore no functional difference
between these connectors.
The end of a CAN cable should have a bus terminator. This is achieved by inserting a bus terminator in one of the two RJ45
connectors and the CAN cable in the other. In case of a node (two CAN cables, one in each RJ45 connector), no termination is
needed.
Several Skylla-i control panels can be connected to one charger or to a set of synchronised and parallel connected chargers.

2.3.6. Synchronised parallel operation

Several chargers can be synchronised with the CAN interface. This is achieved by simply interconnecting the chargers with
RJ45 UTP cables (bus terminators needed, see section 2.3.5).
The paralleled chargers must have identical DIP switch and rotary switch settings .
A mix of Skylla-i 100A and 80A chargers can be paralleled.
Two output and three output chargers cannot be paralleled with each other.
The shore current limit of the parallel charger group can be set with the Skylla-i control panel. The current limit as shown on the
panel is the shore current of the group.
The output current of one charger may differ from another charger although connected in parallel.
If one charger from the parallel connected chargers is disconnected, the other charger(s) will blink the "ON" LED every three
seconds.
In case of using remote sensors (voltage and/or temperature), the remote sensor needs to be connected to one of the parallel
operating chargers. All other chargers will share the information via the CAN interface. The green LED in the charger with the
sensor connected to it, will be lit continuously, the other chargers will blink the corresponding LED.

In case of synchronized parallel operation the LED “ON” will blink every 3 seconds on all paralleled units.

2.3.7 Connecting the mains (see fig 4)

1. Check if the battery is connected to the charger.

2. Remove the front of the battery charger to access the AC input connector.

3. Connect the mains PE cable (green/yellow) to the AC input connector, terminal PE, located on the circuit board, see Figure

4. Connect the mains neutral cable (blue) to the AC input connector terminal N.

5. Connect the mains line cable (brown) to the AC input connector terminal L.

6. Select the correct battery charge curve before applying AC power (see section 3).

Figure 6 Mains cable connection

3. CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

When the charger is installed correctly and before mains power is applied, the charger should be set up to suit the battery
connected.

Note about the models with three outputs: all settings are applied to the three outputs simultaneously

Figure 7 Internal controls and connections

For this purpose, the control board is fitted with a number of switches and connectors to facilitate the user with the following
options:

1. Rotary switch for choice of battery type.

2. Dip switch for setting various options.

3. Fine tuning of current and voltage for position 8 of the rotary switch.

4. CAN bus connection (RJ45).

5. Indicators for correct connection of voltage and temperature sensors.

The DIP switches are numbered 6 to 1, top to bottom.

Default settings:

DS-5 Absorption time off
DS-4 Absorption time on
DS-3 Adaptive on
DS-2 Watch on
DS-1 Automatic equalization off

3.3. Explanation of settings:

DS-6. Bulk Protection. When switched on, the failure led will be lit and the charger will shut down when the bulk time exceeds

10 hrs.

DS-5 and DS-4. Absorption time. The combination of switches 5 and 4 sets the maximum absorption time in case of adaptive
charging, and a fixed time in case the adaptive mode has been switched off (DS-3).

EN Appendix

Off Off
On Off 4 hrs.
Off On
On On 12 hrs.

DS 3. Adaptive. When switched on, the absorption and float time depend on the bulk time (with the maximum time set by DS-5
and DS-4).
The dependencies are as follows:
Absorption time = (bulk time)*20 with a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum as set by DS-5 and DS-4.
Float time = (bulk time)*20 with a minimum of 4hrs and a maximum of 8hrs.

DS-2. Watch. When DS-2 is on, the battery voltage is checked when the charger is switched on. If the voltage exceeds 26V, the
charger will consider the battery fully charged, and start in storage mode. If the voltage is lower, the charger will start in bulk
mode.
When DS-2 is off, the charger will always start in bulk mode.

8 hrs.

batteries)

11

DS-1. Automatic equalization. When DS-1 is switched on, the absorption charge will be followed by a voltage limited constant
current period (see table). The yellow LED “abs” will blink during equalization.
The current is limited to 8% of the bulk current for all VRLA (Gel or AGM) batteries and some flooded batteries, and to 25% of
the bulk current for all tubular plate batteries. The bulk current is the rated charger current (80A or 100A) unless a lower setting
has been chosen (charge current can be reduced with the current setting potentiometer and rotary switch in position 8, or with
the Can bus interface).
If, as recommended by most battery manufacturers, the bulk charge current is about 20A per 100Ah battery capacity (i.e. 500Ah
for a 100A charger), the 8% limit translates to 1,6A per 100Ah battery capacity, and the 25% limit translates to 5A per 100Ah
capacity.
In case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries (rotary switch position 1, 2 or 3) automatic equalization ends when the
voltage limit maxV has been reached, or after t = (absorption time)/8, whichever comes first.
For all tubular plate batteries automatic equalization ends after t = (absorption time)/2.

Warning
Some battery manufacturers do recommend a constant current equalization period, and others do not. Do not use
constant current equalization unless recommend by the battery supplier.

Rotary switch position 8: manual setting potentiometers

These potentiometers provide adjustable levels for (from top to bottom):

Control direction is such that the values increase when turning the potentiometer clockwise. For easy adjustment the charger
will automatically jump to the appropriate mode as soon as it detects a change in the position of a potentiometer. When satisfied
with the settings, restart the charger and it will go through the regular charge sequence using the new settings.

Rotary switch position 9: DC power supply mode

The charger can be set to operate as a DC power supply.
In this mode, the charger functions as a constant voltage source with a maximum output current of 80 resp. 100 A. By default
the output voltage is set to 24V, if needed the output voltage can be changed by adjusting the absorption voltage potentiometer
(range 11.5V .. 30V). When satisfied with the new setting switch off the charger using the main on/off switch and it will store the
voltage level.

• bulk current (range 0A .. 100A for a 100A charger)

• absorption voltage (range 11.5V .. 30V)

• float voltage (range 11.5V .. 30V)

3.4. Temperature compensation

The temperature sensor should be connected to the plus pole of the battery.
The temperature compensation is set at -32mV/°C for all 24V lead acid batteries (see table and fig 7), and all charge states.
The temperature sensor must be installed when:

• ambient temperature of the battery is expected to regularly be lower than 15°C or to regularly exceed 30°C

• charge current exceeds 15A per 100Ah battery capacity

Temperature compensation is not required for Li-Ion batteries.

3.5. Manual equalize function

With the equalize button on the front, the charger can be put in equalize mode only during absorption and float periods. When
the charger is still in bulk mode equalization is not possible.
To enable equalization, press the equalize button for three seconds. The yellow led "abs" and “bulk” will alternate during
equalization.
Current and voltage limits are identical to the automatic equalize function (see section 3.3). The equalize duration is however
limited to max. 1hr when triggered with the equalize button.

3.6. Power Control – maximum use of limited shore current

A maximum input current can be set in order to avoid fusing the mains supply.
This adjustment is only available with the optional Skylla-i control panel.

4.2.1. Bulk

Entered when the charger is started (DS-2 on and battery voltage <26V, or DS-2 off), or when the battery voltage falls below
26,4V (due to a heavy load) during at least 1 minute. Constant current is applied until gassing voltage is reached (28,8V for a
24V battery).

4.2.2. BatterySafe

If absorption voltage is set higher than 28,8V, the rate of voltage increase beyond 28.8V is limited to 14mV/minute, in order to
prevent excessive gassing.

4.2.3. Absorption

After the absorption voltage has been reached, the charger operates in constant voltage mode.
In case of adaptive charging, the absorption time is dependent on the bulk time, see section 3.3.

4.2.4. Automatic equalization

If automatic equalization has been set to “on”, the absorption period is followed by a second voltage limited constant current
period: see section 3.3. This feature will charge VRLA batteries to the full 100%, and prevent stratification of the electrolyte in
flooded batteries.
Alternatively, manual equalization can be applied.

4.2.5. Float

Float voltage is applied to keep the battery fully charged.
In case of adaptive charging, the float voltage time is dependent on the bulk time, see section 3.3.

4.2.6. Storage

After float charge the output voltage is reduced to storage level. This level is not sufficient to compensate for slow self-discharge
of the battery, but will limit water loss and corrosion of the positive plates to a minimum when the battery is not used.

4.2.7. Weekly battery ‘refresh’

Once a week the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode during one hour to ’refresh’ (i. e. to fully charge) the battery.

24V battery).

4.3.2. Absorption

After the absorption voltage has been reached, the charger operates in constant voltage mode.
The recommended absorption time is 2 hours.

4.3.3. Storage

After absorption charge the output voltage is reduced to storage level. This level is not sufficient to compensate for slow self­discharge of the battery, but will maximize service life.

4.3.4. Weekly battery ‘refresh’

Once a week the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode during one hour to ’refresh’ (i. e. to fully charge) the battery.

5. MAINTENANCE

This charger does not require any specific maintenance. However an annual check of the battery connections is recommended.
Keep the charger dry, clean and free of dust.
