Mounting Instructions and Operating Manual for Unit Combination of
Mains Charger, Charging Converter and MPP Solar Controller including Battery Trainer
VBCS 30/20/250 Triple
VBCS 45/30/350 Triple
VBCS 60/40/430 Triple
All-automatic battery charger with 3 charging sources for optimum battery charging during
mains operation and solar operation, designed for motor homes and intervention vehicles.
Please completely read this operating and installation manual thoroughly prior to connection and
start-up, in particular "Safety Regulations and Appropriate Application", s. page 18.
VOTRONIC chargers of series "VBCS Triple" excel by their compact design, low weight (high-frequency switching power
supply, Switch Mode Technology), as well as the intelligent microprocessor charging control with characteristic lines of
charging „IU1oU2oU3" and dynamic charging time calculation.
8 charging programs stored in the memory for Lead-Acid, Gel and AGM, as well as advanced Lithium LiFePO4 Batteries,
ensure unattended, quick and careful full charging from any charging state with subsequent trickle charging and maintenance
of the battery and simultaneous supply of the connected consumers 12 V during the entire charging process. Consumed
energy will be compensated immediately.
Mains Operation, during standstill operation at the external socket of the mains supply:
 The full charging capacity in the universal wide range from 110 V AC - 230 V AC without any switching is available
worldwide, even in case of large deviations in the power supply (low voltage/overvoltage, sine curve, frequency).
 Efficient charging of the board battery and supply of the 12 V consumers via mains.
 Auxiliary charging 12 V/4-5 A for support charging and trickle charging of the vehicle's (lead) starter battery in case of
extended standstill periods.
 Due to the long-term characteristic lines of charging, the unit may be connected continuously to the mains (such as for
standstill periods or winter breaks).
Charging Converter, "B2B" Operation, mobile operation from dynamo and starter battery (Battery to Battery):
 The efficient charging converter (booster) allows full charging of the board battery during driving.
 It increases/reduces the voltage to the level, which is required for precise charging of the board battery with the
optimum characteristic line of charging.
 Cable losses and considerable voltage fluctuations of the dynamo, known from Euro 6 vehicles, are completely
compensated.
 The simultaneously supplied 12 V consumers are protected against overvoltage and voltage fluctuations.
Solar Operation, "MPP" (Maximum-Power-Point):
 Controllers according to the MPP technology are continuously and automatically calculating the maximum power yield
(MPP) of the solar modules several times per second. This surplus of charging current of 10 % to 30 % ensures short
charging times and the best possible power yield of the solar system.
 Auxiliary charging for support charging and trickle charging of the vehicle's starter battery in case of extended standstill
periods.
 Terminal "AES", for automatic commutation of refrigerators with "AES" (Automatic Energy Selector, Electrolux /
Dometic) from gas operation to 12 V operation in case of excess solar power.
Pulser Operation, training for the board battery during the charging breaks, if a charging source is not existing:
The battery training protects the unused (lead) battery during the winter break, seasonal operation or extended standstill
periods from premature ageing and failure due to sulphation.
Further Characteristics of the Unit:
 The charging voltage being free from peaks is controlled in such a way, that overcharging of the batteries is excluded.
 All-automatic Continuous Operation: The charger may be connected continuously to the batteries, thus keeping the full
charge. If the charging source is missing (power failure, engine stop, night), the batteries will not be discharged.
 Parallel and Floating Operation: In case of simultaneous consumption, charging of the battery is continued or trickle
charging is effected. Calculation and control of the adaptation of the charging times is effected automatically by the
charger.

    --2--  Unattended Charging: Multiple protection against overload, overheating, overvoltage, short- circuit, incorrect behaviour and back discharge of the battery by electronically controlled gradual reduction down to complete separation of charger and battery.  Power Pack Function: Allows supply of the consumers without battery (such as during battery replacement). ...
  • Page 3 --3-- Standard Connection Plan incl. Options: Safety Instruction for all connection methods: Connection is only allowed to a shock-proof socket, which has been installed according to the valid technical regulations, protected with max. 16 A (if required, mobile/stationary with a fault current breaker (FI) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA).
  • Page 4 --4-- Connection Plan Special Case "TR"-ByPass Relay in case of very high consumer current rates, such as for air-conditioner operation during driving by means of powerful inverter Instructions for faultless function of this option: Connect the VAC Triple and the relay with connection cables of a length of approx. 50 cm and with cross- sections acc.
  • Page 5 --5-- Connection Plan Special Case for existing Electroblock "EBL", "EVS" etc.: Use the cabling and the fuses for the electroblock provided by the customer and insert the changeover relay into the cable to the starter battery (changeover relay only necessary if starter battery should be connected during motor off (D+ low) with the Output B1).
