Specifications 2.3.2 BATTERY TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION NOTE: For further details of PC Configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-159 DSE94xx Battery Charger Series Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. When suitably configured, the external PT1000 temperature sensor is used to monitor battery temperature. As battery temperature increases, the output voltage is lowered as configured to suit the battery requirements.
Specifications 2.3.3 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT CURRENT DERATING The battery charger is rated at full current to 55 ºC. As the temperature increases above 55 ºC, the maximum output current derates to keep the charger within operational parameters and to prevent overheating of the device.

Specifications 2.6 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE NOTE: For further details of PC Configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-159 DSE94xx Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. Communication Specification USB 2.0 Device for connection to PC running DSE Configuration Suite USB Port Max distance 6 m (20 feet)
USB CONNECTION The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the battery charger. Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then configure and monitor the state of the battery charger.
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2 km) when using Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the battery charger and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to view the various operating parameters.

Operation 5 OPERATION The DSE9474 & DSE9484 are battery chargers, DC power supplies, or both at the same time. For example,one application is to power local control panels and charge panel batteries or generator engine starter batteries at the same time.
If no battery is connected to the output terminals, the battery charger will operate as a DC power supply only, current limit is factory set to 30 A and is adjustable using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. See the section entitled Specification elsewhere in this manual for further output specifications.
5.4.2 ABSORPTION This mode is active for the duration of the Absorption Timer. This is adjustable using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. Absorption mode is used to complete the charging process, bringing the battery to 100% charged status.
DC charging alternator fitted, the battery is quickly recharged when the generator is running. Should the generator stop before the battery is fully recharged, the DSE9474 & DSE9484 Battery Chargers will continue to recharge the battery until it is fully charged.
Fault Diagnosis 6 FAULT DIAGNOSIS Nature of Problem Suggestion Check that the incoming AC supply is correctly connected and within limits and check the integrity of any external fuse that may be fitted. Disable the AC supply and check the integrity of the internal AC supply fuse.
The enclosure cover must not be removed when connected to an AC supply. The DSE battery chargers are designed to be Fit and Forget. As such, there is only one user serviceable part, listed below. In the case of malfunction, contact your original equipment supplier (OEM).
