With deviating temperature, the charging voltage increases and decreases accordingly. 5‐1‐1 Functions The temperature sensor transmits the battery temperature to the charger. The charging voltage is adjusted according to the temperature measured. 5‐1‐2 Installation Lay the cables from the batteries to the charger. Connect temperature sensor to the TEMP socket of the charger. Connect temperature sensor to the negative pole of the battery, or use a double‐sided adhesive tape to attach the sensor to the top of the battery or in the vicinity of the battery. ... -
Page 10: Section 6: Making Connections
Section 6: Making Connections Please see figure 8: Place charger in a dry, cool, clean and ventilated space. Set the power switch to OFF and pull out the main plug before connection or disconnecting the direct current connection. Connect the – (minus) battery pole with a connecting cable with the – (minus) terminal at the charger. Connect the + (plus) battery pole with a connecting cable with the + (plus) terminal at the charger. Lay the cables from the batteries to the charger. Fold the cable ends with the multi‐core cable ends. If the charger with option of starter battery, please connect the terminal of SB. Supply the cable with a fork connection for an idea connection with the terminal (please see figure 10). Ensure correct polarity of the battery and battery charger, otherwise the internal flat‐pin terminal will trigger with the wrong polarity. ... -

Page 13: Section 8: Using The Charger
Section 8: Using the Charger 8‐1 Charging Characteristic The charger characteristic is generally designated as a modified IUoU characteristic. 8‐1‐1 I Phase (Bulk) The STATUS LED constantly lights red. In the first stage of the charging process, the depleted battery is charged with a constant current until the battery voltage reached I phase setting voltage (13.5V / 13.8V or 27.0V / 27.6V). When the battery reaches this voltage level, the charging current gradually drops. When the current drops down to 80%, the charger switches over to Uo phase setting voltage (14.0V / 28.0V or 14.4V / 14.8V or 28.8V / 29.6V). Typically the battery is charged to ... -
Page 14: 8-1-4 8-Day Conditioning
Batteries may be charged separately from each other if the chargers have double charging or three‐fold charging connections. The outputs are separated internally by diodes, thus the weaker battery will be always first charged to the charging level of the stronger battery. The maximum battery capacity should NOT exceed the specified capacity, otherwise the functions of the individual charging phases could be influenced. 8‐1‐4 8‐Day Conditioning If the battery charger stays at U phase for 8 days, it will switch back to 3‐stage charging IUoU, and stay at Uo phase for 60 minutes to revive the battery. 8‐day conditioning will be terminated whenever equalization function or half power ... -
