FAULT PROTECTION
5.6.
5.6.1.
In the case of short circuit, open circuit, reversed polarity or battery voltage below 7.5V ± 0.5, the charger will turn off the electronic
system and revert to standby mode. Additionally the 'Fault' LED (!) will illuminate. The fault must be identified and resolved before any
of the charging modes are initiated.
5.7.
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
5.7.1.
If the charger becomes too hot during the charging process or due to extreme ambient temperatures the power output is automatically
reduced to a trickle charge to protect the unit. Once the temperature drops the charger will increase the power output automatically.
6. CHARGING PHASES
Fig.3
6.1.
The SMC02.V2 charger has a nine step fully automatic charging cycle as shown in Fig.3 above, which is indicative of the typical
charging curve for a battery.
6.2.
PHASES 1 through 5 DIAGNOSIS & RECOVERY:
As soon as one of the charging modes is selected the diagnostic function automatically detects the condition of the battery i.e. voltage.
If the voltage of a deeply discharged battery is over 7.5V ± 0.5V the charger begins to pulse charge with a small current to recover it.
Pulse charging ceases when the voltage reaches 10.5V ± 0.5V. If the voltage detected is over 10.5V ± 0.5V the charger skips pulse
charging and switches to the preselected charging mode.
6.3.
PHASE 6 BULK: Up to 80% of the charge is delivered in this phase.
PHASE 7 ABSORPTION: A constant low charging current raises the voltage from 14.1V to 14.4V over a period of time without gassing
6.4.
the battery. In this phase complete charging up to almost 100% is achieved.
When full charge is reached the charger switches to phase 8 and 9.
PHASE 8 & 9 MAINTENANCE CHARGE: If the battery is loaded and/or the voltage across the terminals drops below 12.8V, the
6.5.
charger starts a maintenance charging pulse at a constant 0.8A until the voltage reaches 14.4V at which point the maintenance
charge is turned off. The charger continues to monitor the battery condition and will cycle between trickle charge and maintenance charge
indefinitely to keep the battery in peak condition. The charger can be left connected to the battery in order to perform this maintenance
function.
Note: All figures offered as a guide only. The charger is automatic and requires no measurements by the user.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
This charger requires no specific maintenance other than cleaning which should be done with a dry cloth. DO NOT use any solvents or
cleaning agents on the casing.
7.2.
Ensure that the charger is unplugged from the mains before installing or performing any maintenance.
