    BATTERY TERMINALS – Do not touch battery terminals while equipment is operating . SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE – Shut OFF all power at the disconnect switch or line breaker BEFORE inspecting, adjusting, or servicing the equipment . Lock switch OPEN (or remove line fuses) so that the power cannot be turned ON accidentally .
  • Page 5: Description Of The Charger

    DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARGER Energic Plus TST-D battery chargers have been designed to charge Pb batteries . These units convert the AC main supply in a DC output at the correct voltage, in order to charge the battery cells .
  • Page 6: Installation Of The Charger

    INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGER Conditions of use: • Operating temperature: 5°C to 45°C • Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C • Relative humidity: less than 75% CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! The charger must be installed by qualified personnel only. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Don’t use the unit in presence of flammable gas, because it can generate sparks.

    GROUNDING AND LINE CONNECTION CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! The cabinet of the battery charger must be properly grounded to protect personnel against hazard of electrical shock in case of fault on the charger! The grounding conductor must have a current carrying capacity equal or higher than the current carrying capacity of the AC-input wires If the charger is to be connected to the AC power supply with a flexible jacketed cable, one having a sep- arate grounding conductor should be used .
  • Page 11: How To Use The Charger

    HOW TO USE THE CHARGER CAUTION! DON’T connect the battery to the charger if the digital display is ON. DON’T disconnect the battery from the charger while it is being charged. ARCING AND BURNING OF CONNECTORS OR BATTERY EXPLOSION MAY RESULT! PRELIMINARY CHECKS •...
  • Page 12: Battery Connection, Voltage Check And Autostart

    BATTERY CONNECTION, VOLTAGE CHECK AND AUTOSTART CAUTION ! ENERGIC Plus chargers are programmed to do a complete cycle of charge automatically, however it’s always recommended to survey the operations, especially when the battery is connected to the charger for more than 12 hours.
  • Page 13: Charge Process

    CHARGE PROCESS While the charge is in progress the following parameters are continuously displayed in sequence: • Battery voltage/cell (Output voltage) (Volt); • Charge current (Output current) (Ampere); • Capacity charged (Ah); • Effective time of charge (Hours); The letter after the value (U-A-C-h) indicates which parameter being is displayed .
  • Page 14: Automatic Data Saving

    If this error message appears, it’s recommended to call (for service) for a complete check of the system . The cause if this problem may be a wrong setting of the input voltage: if the input is set to a certain value (for example: 610 V) but the real voltage is lower (for example: 575 V), the charging current will be significantly lower than the nominal value, therefore it will take more time to reach the gassing voltage .
  • Page 15: Equalization

    NOTE After the charge termination, while the battery remains connected, the final values of [Voltage/cell], [Time] and [Capacity charged] remain stored in memory. If the red STOP pushbutton is pressed, the display will show these values in sequence. If the charge has been terminated manually, equalization and maintenance functions are automatically disabled.
  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The MAINTENANCE function is useful to keep the battery in perfect condition when it’s not used for an indefined time (weeks, months, . . .) . It is sufficient to leave the battery connected to the charger: the control board will keep the battery voltage under control and will activate the charger automatically when the voltage falls below a predefined minimum threshold .
