3.1 General mode of operation

The MC1500 is used for charging motor vehicle batteries and can also be used as an external
power supply for vehicles. The charger unit is designed for the usage in 12V systems with
lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries as well as in 24V systems with lead-acid batteries. The power
output is 1500W, which is sufficient to charge all common vehicle batteries.
The MC1500 is fed from the mains supply and transforms the connected alternating current
voltage into direct current voltage. The power section is fitted with an isolating transformer to
ensure that the output voltage is electrically isolated from the mains supply.
For protection, input and output cut-outs are built into the MC1500. Additionally, a current limiter
prevents the MC1500 from getting damaged by overload.
The MC1500 is designed as a bench unit, which is cooled by the free flow of air from the base
to the top. Therefore, make sure that the MC1500 remains uncovered. All displays and
operating controls are located on the front of the MC1500.
