Votronic PFPN 1204 Manual

On-board Charging Converter B2B
Fully automatic charger for charging, trickle charging und maintenance of unit batteries
TS Battery Charger PFPN 1204
TS Battery Charger PFPN 1204 Fc
Charging of the starter battery 12 V from the 12 V/24 V vehicle board mains of:
•
Portable fire pumps TS / PFPN
•
Mobile power generators
•
Units
The unit ensures quick readiness for use of the unit battery
and protection of the full battery in case of extended standstill
periods by disconnection of the charging current with
systematic pulse recharching, if required also with training, to
avoid "drying up" of the battery.
Further Characteristics of the Unit:
• Full main charging, trickle charging and storage charging by
6-stage charging characteristic linesIU1oU2oU3.
• Four (4) adapted charging characteristic lines for 12 V lead,
acid, gel, AGM1, AGM2 starter batteries can be adjusted.
• Four (4) adapted charging characteristic lines for 12 V-13.3 V
lithium LiFePO4 starter batteries can be adjusted.
• Battery capacities 6-100 Ah with charging current rates 1 A-4 A can be adjusted.
• Supply can be switched over from the 12 V or 24 V vehicle board mains.
• Disconnection from power of the charging plug after withdrawal avoiding plug corrosion and short circuits.
• Automatic charging start with charging of the vehicle board battery (driving, mains charging).
• Automatic disconnection in case of missing charging of the vehicle board battery (undervoltage protection).
• Galvanic isolation of input and output by built-in isolating transformer:
o Corrosion of the unit rack (creepage) is avoided.
o Ensures exact observation of the charging voltage rates, neat ground ratio.
o Completely 24 V/12 V puncture-proof, also in case of failure.
• Clearly arranged display of the battery condition.
• Audible and visual alarm.
• Potential-free relay signalling contact (change-over contact) for "Charge o.k."-
• Battery trainer for lead-acid, gel, AGM1, AGM2 batteries can be activated during the charging breaks.
• Weekly battery regeneration for lead batteries.
• Input for battery temperature sensors, optionally Votronic 625, 825.
• The robust housing protects from water and dust by system of protection IP65, fire-fighting DIN 14679.
• 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.
• The charging voltage is free from peaks and is controlled in such a way, that overcharging of the batteries is
excluded.
• Fully Automatic Continuous Operation: The charger may be connected continuously to the battery, thus keeping the
full charge. If the charging source is missing (power failure, engine stop), the battery will not be discharged.
• High efficiency, minimum current consumption.
• Execution "Fc" for transmission FireCAN bus with standard connector M12, prepared for central diagnostics,
transmission of status and charging data in fire-fighting vehicles.
Functioning:
Automatic activation of the unit will only be effected, if the vehicle board mains is able to supply power, i. e. the engine is
running (generator), or a mains supply charger is active at the parking lot. Thus, the vehicle battery is protected safely
against discharge by the units. The exact determination of the battery (terminal) voltage rates is effected by short-time
disconnection of the charging current, every 2.5 seconds, for automatic compensation of losses due to cable lenghts and
cross-sections.
