HIGH FREQUENCY BATTERY CHARGERS
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1
Before to start using the FGM Charger, read these instructions carefully.
2
Installation and Service operations can be done by qualified personnel only.
3
To prevent the risk of electric shock, don't touch uninsulated parts of the charger or the battery.
4
Manually stop the charger before to disconnect the battery.
5
The charger is suitable for indoor installation, in ambients with abundant ventilation.
6
Don't use the charger near flammable materials.
7
Don't obstruct the ventilation slots and leave sufficient free space around the unit.
8
Don't expose the charger to liquids, excessive dust or vibration.
9
Check the conditions of cables and accessories on a regular basis, and replace them
immediately if they get damaged.
10
Don't extend the battery cables. Replace them, if necessary, with cables of the same type,
length, section and insulation as the original ones.
11
During the installation of the charger, make sure to connect the EARTH conductor properly, and
respect all the applicable Safety Standards.
12
Don't modify any part of the charger. Any modification, applied without written authorization of
the manufacturer, may generate unsafe operating conditions and will void the warranty
2. DESCRIPTION
The FGM Charger has been designed to charge Lead-acid or GEL motive batteries. This charger converts the
AC input to DC, at the proper value to charge the battery.
The FGM is based on High-Frequency Switchmode technology, which allows very compact size and efficient
operation. The operation is completely automatic, and it's managed by a microprocessor based control system.
The exclusive charging curve of the FGM charger allows to reduce the charging factor to the minimum value, so
the duration of the overcharge/gassing phase and the average temperature of the battery are minimized.

OPERATION Connect the battery and the AC input. The charge will begin automatically and the LED “In charge” will turn on. When the charge will be completed, the charger will stop automatically, and the LED “Charge complete” will turn The charging time depends on the programmed curve, the size of the battery and its initial SOC (state of charge).
