  • Page 6 3. description powerservice is the special line of DC-DC/AC-dc chargers designed, patented and assembled by nds, which ensure an efficient charge to the service batteries, guaranteeing 50% more charge than the alternator only. Powerservice units safeguard battery life with specific charge curves for all types of batteries.
  • Page 7 • power supply function if battery is not present. • Emergency switch reverts to original charging system in case of failure. 
 • quiet, compact and easy to install. The innovative circuitry in the powerservice unit guarantees greater efficiency by reducing energy expenditure. output current is regulated both according to the needs of service batteries and to the quantity of input energy.
  • Page 8: Operation

    4. operation powerservice chargers provide the right charging curve to the most common service battery technologies by increasing the voltage coming from the alternator using a DC-DC converter. the charge curve related to the service battery technology in use (wet lead-acid, gel, Agm, lithium), must be selected using internal jumper switches.
  • Page 9 Power supply from solar panel If the following situations occur: IGNITION+ or D + signal not active, • solar panel illuminated by sunlight with AN OPEN-CIRCUIT • voltage higher than 16V, powerservice starts charging using the integrated solar regulator with PWM technology; charging phases are the same as those provided by the alternator and by an external mains supply.

  • Page 16: Installation

    8. installation powerservice can be installed easily and securely thanks to the external flanges (aluminum feet). The ideal mounting position is smooth, well ventilated and not subject to overheating; avoid surfaces covered with fabric or carpet. Install the device as close as possible to the service batteries.
