Connection
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.
Connect the red wire on the + connection of the battery by means of the battery
clamp. Repeat this with the black wire on the – connection of the battery.
For a fixed connection we advice to replace the battery clamps for the delivered
terminal rings. Cut off the wire as close as possible to the clamps.
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 charge voltages, the charger is ready for
use.
I N U S E
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 500 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 also when a full battery
is connected. In the second stage, the equalize stage (LED yellow) the will be charged
to 100%. The length of the charging time depends on the battery quality, battery
capacity, depth of discharge and the current draw of any present users. Furthermore
any faults could delay the process.
If the charge process is finished, the charger will switch automatically to the float
charge (LED green) keeping the battery under continues maintenance. If the charger
is in this stage for 24 hours at a minor current, the charger will go to its 'jogging'
