PRIORITY:
Before using you new WOODS DIALOcharge, ensure that you have the following items;
1 the DIALO charge unit
2 mains AC 3 pin cable
3 RED and BLACK battery cables with alligator clamps
If any of the above items are missing from the or iginal packaging, c ontact your supplier .
ENVIRONMENTS:
D ue to the versatil e por tability of the DIALOcharge, it may be empl oyed in almost all env ironments, provide d the following
conditions apply;
•
Ensure that the DIALOcharge cabinet is mounted in an upright position, carry-handle on top.
•
DO NOT mount the DIALOcharge inside an unventilated enclosur e. The DIALOcharge must have mi nimum air intake and
outlet areas of 10,000mm² (16in²).
•
Allow adequate ventilation around the cabinet. eg: 100mm clearance to the left and right side panel s for effective fan
cooling.
•
DO NOT mount the DIALOcharge in direct sunlight or in environments with a high ambient temperature, as extreme
temperatures w ill cause the DIALOcharge to shut down operation.
•
DO NOT use the DIALOcharge in wet areas where it may be sprayed with water or other liquids.
•
DO NOT use the DIALOcharge in excessi vely dusty environments.
CONNECTIONS:
B EFO RE MAK ING ANY EL ECTR ICAL C ONNE C TI ONS , ENSURE THAT THE 24 0Va c MAINS IS S WIT CHE D OFF !
AC MAINS Input connection:
The A C mains inlet socket is situated on the lower right of the front panel, and is the Int ernational IEC connector t ype.
The mains cable supplied is fit ted with a standard 3 pi n pl ug, for connection to an Australian GPO and the IEC connector.
♦
If using a GenSet for mains s upply, ens ure that its capacity is at least double the DIALOcharge’s input VA rating.
eg: 750VA char ger = 1500VA GenSet minimum
maximum all owable GenSet dis tortion 16 % THD (Total Harmonic Dist ortion)
Output connection:
The output connections are the RED and BLACK binding posts loc ated on the low er left of the fr ont p anel, labelled POSITIVE
and NEGATIVE respectively.
MULTIPLEXING DIALOchargers:
PARALLEL: eg: D1260 + D1260 = 12V 120A
Two or more DI ALOcharge unit s may be connecte d in parallel to increase the charging AMPERAGE capacit y.
You may now individually contr ol each charger upto the total maximu m.
SERIES: eg: D1260 : D1260 = 24V 60A
Two or more DIALOcharge unit s may be connected in series to increase the c harging VOLTAGE capacity.
You may now individually contr ol each charger upto the total maximu m.
The added bonus of multiple individual DIALOcharge units facilitates the use of the units separately if required.
