"POWER POINT" (AP735USA - SW 1.07)
USER MANUAL / MANUEL D'INSTRUCTIONS
E) CONNECTION TO BATTERY
We advise the use of bipolar standard connectors which do not allow reverse polarity on battery.
Check cable connection in the connector contacts.
This operation has to be performed by skilled personnel only.
F) OPERATION
• Once mains and battery have been connected, all LED's will shortly light up, which means that card is
performing a diagnostic test.
• Once all connections have been performed properly, the green "BATTERY CONNECTED" LED will light
up.
• By pressing the RED button, the charger begins charging the battery and the green LED begins
blinking. To stop charging, press the RED button again.
• If the Autostart function is enabled, the charger begins automatically charging the battery 5 seconds after
connection to it (a delayed start is programmable by dip-switches).
G) VISUAL DISPLAYS
During the charging process, data are shown on the LC display.
• During the normal charge, charging current (Amperes) and battery voltage (signalled by a battery symbol
filling up as time goes by) are displayed.
•
On battery connection 2-3 bars of the battery symbol light up to signal that battery is present.
•
The charging state is shown also by LED's.
•
After the initial charge stage, depending on the discharge rate of the battery, and provided that the average
cell voltage has reached 2.4 V/cell (adjustable value), the yellow "FINAL CHARGE" LED and the battery
symbol will light up.
•
The final charge can be set so as to be performed with a fixed time (usually 3 hours), or it can use a
system which controls the delivered ampere-hours and the flow of the battery voltage.
•
When the final charge has been completed, the charger automatically stops charging, as is shown by the
lighting up of the green "END OF CHARGING" LED.
H) EQUALIZING CHARGE
• The equalizing charge, an optional function, is a default factory setting. To disable it, see the functions of
the SW1.8 DIP switch.
• After the normal charge a pause will take place (T. Pause) after which Equalizing will be performed (for a
Teq time).
• Equalizing is made up of a certain amount (Np) of pulse (Neq) packages, each of which consists of charges
(T.ON) and pauses (T. OFF).
• The above mentioned pulse packages alternate with pauses (Ts).
• These pulses are performed during the Active cycle, followed by a Stop cycle.
• This equalizing system has no time limits and stops on battery disconnection. The system is very useful
during holidays and week-ends, since it makes it possible to keep battery charged while preventing
overcharging, overheating, and/or water consumption.
