With the optional mounting clamp PC1 the charger can be
easy placed en taken, without removing the screws each time.
Connection with the battery
Due to the automatic voltage compensation we strongly recommend to leave the
cable length as it is. However, if you want to shorten the cable, it is important
that the length doesn't become less than 0,7 meter. The cable length can be
extended, but that will also have effect on the automatic voltage compensation.
Use the already wired terminal rings for a fixed connection
with the battery.
For a flexible use you can simply use the supplied
crocodile clamps. This by fixing the clamps to the
terminal rings using the screw connection.
Connect the red wire on the + connection of the battery and the black wire on
the – connection of the battery.
Important
The battery junction that isn't linked with the frame should be connected
firstly. The other junction must be made with the frame.
When the charger is to be used in an aluminium or steel ship/vessel, it
must be insulated by suspension. That is, in order to avoid electrolysis, the
casing of the charger may not be in contact with the ship.
The connection between the charger and the battery must be made some
distance from the fuel installation.
Advice
It is advisable to mount a fuse between the + pole of the battery and the +
bolt of the charger. Always use a fuse that is heavier than the charge
current.
After installing the charger and setting the charger, the charger is ready for
use.
IN USE
When the charger will be connected to the mains and the set-up mode isn't
used, the charger will flash two times after 5 seconds and, if the battery is
connected, the charge process will start. When the mains is already present
and the battery will be connected, the charge process will also start
automatically.
The charge process
The LBC 500S standards has a 4-stage process to charge en maintain the
battery the correct way. The charger will always start in the first stage, the bulk
phase (LED red). This first stage has a minimum time length of 30 minutes, so
