INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND FITTING
Piease read the following instructions carefully before installing or operating the
X-3 charger and power supply unit.
INTRODUCTION
The X-3 is a fully automatic battery charger, connected to a six cell lead acid battery
with a nominal voltage of 13.8 volts, the unit will charge and recharge the battery by
raising the terminal voltage to equal that of the output of the battery charger. As the
battery voltage increases the input current from the battery charger automatically
reduces until it ceases to flow, this provides fast and efficient battery charging and
eliminates the possibility of overcharging, unless the battery is at fault.
LOCATION
Choose a suitable location for the X-3 bearing in mind the following:-
a.
Minimum size of compartment must be 450 x300 x250mm this will allow cool
air to circulate around the unit, necessary for correct operation.
b.
Ventilation preferably to the outside of the van in the form of at least 2 x 25mm
diameter vented holes must be provided.
N.B. All transformer operated appliances generate heat and therefore run hot when
operating at full capacity.
c.
Access to the battery compartment and mains inlet distribution system will
be required.
d.
The unit may be fitted horizontally or vertically and must be securely fixed to
prevent movement whilst the vehicle is in motion.
N.B. If the unit is mounted vertically the connection terminals must be situated a*
the bottom.
WARNING
The charger is fitted with a safety device which provides a time delay
:
-
approximately 2 seconds to reduce the surge of inrush current when switchec : -
For this device to function correctly there must be an interval of 45 s e c c " =
between switching off and on.
The green indicator light will illuminate when the charger is working.
NOTE
Check appliance before installation, if the supply cord is damaged it must
replaced by a repair shop approved by the manufacturer as specialist : : : = =-=
required.
