Piktronik KOP400 Operating Instructions

BATTERY TYPE Use the charger for the defined battery type only
(according to the parameters). If the charging profile does
not suit the battery type, the battery will not be charged
properly and the life time of the battery may be shortened.
GAS Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen-oxygen gases,
which can be explosive, and sulfuric acid that can cause
severe burns. Make sure the working area is well-
ventilated. Cigarettes or any open fires or sparks may
cause an explosion. Keep all ignition sources away from
the battery.
ACID Battery acid can damage your eyes and skin. In the event
of an accident, flush with water and seek medical help
immediately. Use proper personal protective devices
when handling a damaged or leaking battery. Treat the
material used to clean up the battery acid spill as
hazardous waste.
TOXIC Batteries contain hazardous materials. Among others, lead
SUBSTANCES and antimony are toxic substances. Waste lead-acid
batteries are hazardous waste and must be treated
according to the Battery Disposal Regulations.

CAUTION!
KOP400 battery chargers are modern fully automatic devices suitable not only for
charging but also for maintaining and monitoring the batteries. The charger stores
data about charging times and Ah charged. This data may be accessed for further
analysis. You can connect the charger to the battery at any time. This data may be
accessed for further analysis.
The charger may be used as a stationary device or can be installed and operated in
vehicles. The charger should be mounted vertically for optimal cooling and in a space
with enough air circulation.
Your KOP battery charger was factory programmed for a specific battery type. Make
sure the charging profile suits your battery type. To change the charging profile for a
specific battery type, parameters may be programmed with a PC software package and
a programming interface. The programming parameters allow the charger's profile to
suit the battery type. Up to five charging phases can be programmed. Charging
voltages, currents, charging times, temperature compensation and other control
functions can be programmed. Please contact your dealer for further information.
When programming the charging profile always follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions regarding voltages, currents and charging times.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the KOP Battery charger!

TO START THE CHARGING PROCESS

Establish a safe connection between the battery and the charger first. Then plug the
mains connector. This sequence must always be followed in this order. When
removing the connection, remove the mains plug from the mains first, before
disconnecting the battery circuit.
After connecting the battery, the red LED (Error LED) flashes sand then remains
OFF. When the charging process starts, the yellow LED comes ON (also a click
from the relay in the charger can be heard). The charging process depends on the
