Summary of Contents for Manzanita Micro PFC-50B

  • Page 1 PFC-50 PFC-50B PFC-75 Charger Owner’s Manual Rev 0.2 ©2008 Manzanita Micro The information date is: 09/26/2008...
  • Page 2 0.2 General Overview The Manzanita Micro PFC-50 series is a unique line of powerful, efficient battery chargers. The chargers will run off of any voltage from 100 up to 240 AC These chargers can be set to run automatically when plugged in yet they also have far more user adjustable functions than other electric vehicle chargers.
  • Page 3 The 50 in PFC-50 is indicative of the number of amps that the charger is rated to draw from the AC line. Unlike some other chargers this is the rated continuous load and all the chargers are thoroughly tested to their rated limits before leaving Manzanita Micro.
  • Page 4 Charger Operation figure 02: PFC-50 Layout Turning the Charger On and Off There is an ON/OFF Breaker to the left of the blue user control panel at the top of the charger. This breaker is the main switch to turn the charger on or off. If ever there is a concern while charging first shut off this breaker switch.
  • Page 5 This controls the peak DC voltage ceiling that the charger will allow the batteries to reach before limiting the current. Unless specified otherwise, the voltage limit is specifically calibrated and set by Manzanita Micro to 191 Volts (for a 156V nominal pack.) In the event that adjustment is desired, please follow the instructions below.
  • Page 6 VOLTS TRIM CALIBRATION: Try to make sure your battery pack is fully charged before adjusting (or else you will have to continually monitor it and make more adjustments). 1. Turn the amps knob all the way down (full counterclockwise). 2. Make sure the charger is plugged into the battery pack and that there are no open breakers or open fuses in the DC battery circuit.
  • Page 7 AMPS knob immediately, turn off the charger’s breaker switch and consult Manzanita Micro or a qualified service technician. This LED could indicate an over voltage or over temperature condition. It could also be indicative of an open in the pack.
  • Page 8 might need to turn down the charger if there are other loads on the branch circuit (example: A stereo and a computer are running on the same 15 amp circuit). “LIMITS” - Yellow LED The yellow LIMITS LED indicates that the charger has reached its peak voltage limit. This should happen only at the end of the charge cycle when all the batteries are fully charged.
  • Page 9 This feature does not work with the new LT-5 Lithium regulators. For more information visit: www.manzanitamicro.com Or for technical questions or other inquiries: Manzanita Micro Rich Rudman PO Box 1774 Kingston, WA 98346...
