Resumen del manual
• The power cord to the IEC 320/C14 connector should be of the appropriate gauge to carry a 10A current @ 120VAC, or a 5A current @ 230VAC for the cable’s length, to meet the requirements of applicable electrical codes. • A minimum of 30mm clearance should be provided at each end of the charger for vented models. • The charger should not be installed in locations which restrict air flow. page 4 Curtis 1604/08 Manual OPERATION 4 4.1. Charging the Battery Note: If a DC output adapter is used, connect the adapter to the charger output connector prior to supplying AC power to the charger. 4.1.1 Ensure that the charger is either unplugged from AC power or is in standby mode. 4.1.2 Connect the charger output connector to the vehicle/battery connector. 4.1.3 Plug the AC line cord into a nearby outlet. Turn on wall switch (if used). The yellow light will illuminate to indicate that AC power is present. After several seconds the green light will flash to indicate that charging is in process. If no lights are illuminated, or if the yellow light flashes, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Charge time may vary from less than 1 hour to 10 hours. 4.1.4 When charging is complete both the yellow and green lights will remain on and the charger will be in standby mode. The charger is now ready to be disconnected from AC power or from the battery. Note: if the charger is disconnected from the battery and connected to another battery with out removing AC power it resets itself over a three minute period. During this reset, the yellow light will flash briefly and the charger will return to standby mode prior to beginning a charge cycle. 4.2. Programming the Charger The Model 1604 or 1608 charger has a number of parameters that can be programmed by the user, using a Curtis 1311 handheld programmer. These programming variables allow the charger's performance characteristics to fit the needs of the individual application. To use the 1311 refer to the 1311 instruction manual, Curtis P/N 53028. While programming can be performed when the charger is connected to the batteries or when charging, it is recommended that the charger be disconnected from power and from the batteries prior to commencing programming. Connecting the programmer to the charger while charging will result in the immediate termination of the charge cycle. The charger will remain in standby as long as the programmer is connected. There are two Program menu options - Basic Settings and Top Off Settings. There are four options under the Basic Settings. They are described in the following order. They are listed in the text by the names that appear on the programmer's Program Menu: (bold text indicates default settings) - Constant Voltage -Amp hour Capacity - End of Charge Mode - Fan Modulation Constant Voltage (CV, see figures 1, 2, 3 and 4) Constant voltage defines the battery voltage at which point the charger changes from constant current mode to constant voltage mode. Three Constant Voltage set- points are available: Option Setpoint (VDC) Battery Chemistry 12VDC charger 24VDC charger 1 14.0 28.0 Gel 2 14.3 28.6 AGM, Gel, SLA, VRLA 3 14.6 29.2 special applications as required by the battery manufacturer Curtis 1604/08 Manual page 5 Amp hour Capacity Amp hour Capacity is the storage capacity of the battery, as defined by the battery's manufacturer. Selecting the appropriate amp hour capacity determines the longest period of time the charger will charge before automatically shutting off. If the charger is still charging at this point, it provides an error code to the operator. Refer to Section 5, Troubleshooting, to correct this error. Three Amp hour Capacity setpoints are available: Option Amp hour rating Charge Cycle Timer (t, see Fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4) c (4A / 8A charger) (hours) 1 .60 / .100 16 2 .100 / .200 24 3 .200 / .400 48 End of Charge Mode End of Charge Mode defines how the charger terminates the charge cycle. There are three End of Charge Modes: Option Mode Notes 1 End of Charge Charge Profile: IVa (see Figure 1) Charger goes into standby upon reaching End of Charge current. Charge will automatically restart if the standby voltage falls below 12.9V (12V charger) 25.7V (24V charger), and automatically self terminates. This compensates for battery self-discharge over long periods of time. This mode is recommended for daily use or for long term storage. 2 Equalize Charge Profile: I1VI2a if previous mode was End of Charge I1V1I2V2 if previous mode was Float. (see Figure 2 After constant voltage terminates, charger adjusts its output and Figure 4) current to 1.5A/3A (4A/8A charger). The current is held for either 3 hours or until the battery reaches 15.8V (12V charger) or 30.5V (24V charger). The Equalize cycle automatically reverts to the previous mode of charge termination after the completion of 1 cycle. Check the battery manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the frequency at which batteries should be equalized. 3 Float Charge Profile: IV1V2 (see Figure 3...
