RIVE PTIONS In 1975, Bonitron began working with AC inverter drive specialists at synthetic fiber plants to develop speed control systems that could be interfaced with their plant process computers. Ever since, Bonitron has developed AC drive options that solve application issues associated with modern AC variable frequency drives and aid in reducing drive faults.

YMBOL ONVENTIONS SED IN THIS ANUAL AND ON QUIPMENT Earth Ground or Protective Earth AC Voltage DC Voltage Electrical Hazard - Identifies a statement that indicates a shock or electrocution hazard that must be avoided. DANGER! DANGER: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
User’s Manual RODUCT ESCRIPTION Bonitron’s M3528 charger is a voltage limited current source used to charge higher voltage batteries, ultracapacitor or double layer capacitor energy storage strings. Variable frequency drive systems can require energy storage to back up power for mission critical or continuous processes.
URRENT ATING The current rating indicates the maximum charging current for the M3528 in DC Amps. This rating is directly represented by a 3-digit value. For instance, the rating for a 10ADC M3528 is indicated as 010. Note the maximum charging current for C class charger is 5ADC.

NSTALLATION NSTRUCTIONS The M3528 has an open type chassis construction. It is intended to be part of a larger variable frequency drive system, and will require different hardware for interconnection based on the installation. An appropriate enclosure may need to be provided to protect personnel from contact and the system from damage.

ONNECTIONS An isolation transformer should be used with the M3528AC models to prevent the rectifier section of the M3528 charger from supplying power to the drive. The AC Line connections should be made to the output of the isolation transformer. The AC Line connections are not available on the M3528DC models.
ONTROL NTERFACE AND IRING Control wiring allows for remote enabling and monitoring of the M3528. Inputs can be a dry contact using an internally generated, isolated supply, or an external 24VDC signal. Table 3-3: User I/O Connections With 3528C2 or 3528C3 Boards...
In Input Follow mode, the M3528 is in Equalize mode as long as the Equalize input is active. In Timeout mode, a pulse may be used to put the M3528 into Equalize mode and an internal timer will remove the M3528 from Equalize mode after two hours. If the Equalize input stays high for more than two hours, the 3528 will return to the normal full voltage after two hours.

INPUT OF THE The full voltage setting can be adjusted with R37 on the 3528C2 board or R41 on the 3528C3 board. Adjusting the potentiometer clockwise increases the voltage setting and adjusting the potentiometer counter-clockwise decreases the voltage setting.

Verify proper wiring and ensure the disconnect or contactor between the M3528 and battery bank is open. Apply input power to M3528 and activate the Enable Input. (see Section 4.3.1.2.) Verify the output voltage of the M3528 is appropriate for the battery bank being used.
Apply input power to M3528 and activate the Enable Input (see Section 4.3.1.2.) Verify the output voltage of the M3528 is appropriate for the storage bank being used. This can be done by measuring the DC voltage at the inside terminals to the Storage Bus fuse block inside the M3528.
CTION Check incoming voltage. If no voltage, check input fuses within the charger. If the incoming fuses are blown, contact Bonitron for assistance No Panel Indicators Lit before replacing fuses. This can be an indication of further damage to the charger.
