Page 3: Important Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Hazardous conditions may result if the charger is not installed or operated correctly. Please read the following instructions to prevent personali njury or damage to the charger: BatteryRelated r To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the battery r Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine r Charge only Lead Acid type of batteries (AGM/Wet/Gel/Fleece). -
Page 4: Description And Features
DESCRIPTION These chargers are used to charge Lead Acid Batteries (Fle ece/AGM/Gel/Wet). SEC-1215E (Maximum charging current 15A) and SEC-1230E ( Maximum charging current 30A) are used to charge 12Vbatteries. SEC-2415E (Maximum charging current 15A) is used to charge 24V batteries. These chargers can be powered from AC power source of 230 V, 50Hz. FEATURES r State of the art switched mode technology is used for very high efficiency, light weight and quiet operation. -
Page 5: Charging Stages
CHARGING STAGES NOTE ! - VOLTAGE READINGS ON NO LOAD The output has one common negative terminal and three positive terminals for charging 3 banks of batteries. Each positive terminal has an internal isolating diode in series which has a forward voltage drop of 0.8 to1.1V. -
Page 6: Protections
CAUTION! 3 stage charging is recommended for charging stand-alone unloaded batteries(there is no load connected to the battery when it is being charged). If a load is also connected simultaneously, a part of the charger‘s output current will be diverted to this load. Thus, the charger may remain locked in the ”Boost or Absorption Mode“ if the current drawn by the load is more than the preset value of threshold current determining change over between the Boost and Float Stages. -
Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION Location, mounting and safety The charger is required to be installed in a safe, well ventilated and dry location. Please see the details given under “Important Safety Instructions“ on page 2. With the help of 4 screws, mount the charger on a vertical bulkhead with the output terminal side facing down. -
Page 8: Preparing The Charger For Operation
PREPARING THE CHARGER FOR OPERATION Selecting the Type of Battery and Charging Stages The Float Voltage and Boost Voltage (Also called Absorption or Overcharge Voltage) of different types of Lead Acid Batteries are different. Also, when a charger is used to charge a battery and simultaneously supply a load, the Boost Stage is required to be disabled to prevent overcharging of the battery. - Page 9 Connecting the batteries or other DC loads The output has a common Negative(-) terminal and 3 Positive terminals for connection of 3 banks of batteries. Each Positive connector has it‘s own internal isolating diode which works as a battery isolator. If more than one bank of batteries is connected, these will be charged at the sametime (The maximum charging current of 15 A of SEC-1215E / SEC 2415E and 30 A of SEC-1230E will be shared among the connected banks of the batteries depending upon their discharged states) as long as the AC power is available to the charger.
- Page 10 OPERATION When the charger is switched on, the red LED lights up indicating that output voltage is available. When the batteries are being charged or when the charger is supplying other DC load, the current fed by the charger will be indicated by the ammeter. When the batteries are discharged, they will draw charging current proportional to their discharged condition (up to a maximum current rating of the charger) and this current draw will be shown by the ammeter.
- Page 11 Charging more than one bank of batteries CAUTION! When charging more than one bank of batteries at the same time using 3 Stage Charging, ensure that the batteries in the banks are in a similar discharged condition.If one bank is completely discharged and another is almost fully charged, the bank that is fully charged will be subjected to over charge condition during the time when the charger remains in Boost Stage for charging the completely discharged bank.

TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOMS WHEN THE CHARGER IS POWERED AND CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY THE RED LED IS OFF The DC side fuse may have blown due to wrong polarity of battery connection. Ensure positive of the battery is connected to the positive of the charger and the negative of the battery is connected to the negative of the charger. -
Page 13: Internal Fuse Ratings
SYMPTOMS WHEN THE CHARGER IS POWERED AND IS BEING USED AS A DC POWER SUPPLY/UPS THE VOLTAGE DROPS WHEN LOAD IS SWITCHED ON The load is trying to draw current more than the current limit value of the charger (the current limit value is the maximum specified charging amps). Once the load current reaches the current limit value, the current limit circuit is activated and the output voltage drops. -
