  • Page 8: Introduction

    ARE Series Chargers INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to instruct the user of this equipment on the handling, installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment. Sections on theory of operation and troubleshooting, in addition to schematic and wiring diagrams provide adequate information for maintenance personnel to service the equipment.
  • Page 9: Receiving And Installation

    If you are not going to use the equipment immediately, store it (fully packed, if possible) in a clean dry place and protect it from possible damage or overhead drip. All ARE Series power supplies can be safely stored for up to one year at temperatures ranging from –40 C to +85 LOCATION Caution: 130 Volts, 35 and 50A power supplies may have hot surfaces at top and rear of cabinet.
  • Page 10: Power Source

    ARE Series Chargers One-fourth (1/4)-inch hardware must be used in all available mounting holes to mount the brackets to the cabinet. See cabinet dimensions on (Figures 4-6, 4-7, 4-8, & 4-9) for minimum hardware recommendations for mounting the power supply to the wall, relay rack, or floor.
  • Page 11: Grounding Instructions

    ARE Series Chargers GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This power supply should be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment- grounding conductor should be run with circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal on the power supply. Connections to power supply should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

  • Page 13: Equipment Operation And Maintenance

    ARE Series Chargers 2. EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT OPERATION 2.1.1 AC Turn-On Procedure After making all connections to the power supply and making sure they are tight, follow this procedure to energize the equipment: 1. Place the “Float-Equalize” rocker switch in the “Float” position.
  • Page 14: Float Voltage Adjustment

    ARE Series Chargers * Equalize charge is required only if cells have experienced a discharge. ** Additional equalize charging is not recommended after initial equalization. Consult battery manufacturer for particular recommendations. FLOAT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT Caution: Do not attempt to set either float or equalize voltage until the unit is out of the current-limit mode.
  • Page 15: Coarse Voltage Adjustment (24 And 48 Volt Units Only)

    ARE Series Chargers 3. Remove dummy load. B. If dummy load is not available, but some system load is: 1. Open the AC breaker. 2. Allow the battery voltage to drop to about 90% of float voltage. This will discharge the battery enough to require the equipment to operate in the current limit mode when it is turned on.
  • Page 16 ARE Series Chargers 1. Ventilation is of prime importance. Check the area around the unit; be sure that nothing interferes with the free flow of air through the unit. 2. All equipment performs better when clean, since there is better heat dissipation. The power supply should be blown out with low-pressure dry air to remove dust accumulations.
  • Page 17: Troubleshooting

    The power transformer in ARE Series power supplies is of the ferroresonant type. This class of transformers has the output coil on the same leg of the core as the resonant winding. This winding, together with the same resonant capacitor, maintains the core at a high level of saturation, resulting in fairly constant output voltage against changes in the input voltage.

    ARE Series Chargers TROUBLESHOOTING CHART The following troubleshooting chart is designed to help a qualified technician diagnose the causes of equipment malfunctions. It is intended to be used with the wiring and schematic diagrams. Following this section on troubleshooting is a section on testing or checking of components. For best results, first identify the nature of the problem and then check for each of the possible causes listed beside the symptom.
