Page 5: Introduction
Intended product use The Elogic DC to DC battery chargers are primarily intended to charge an auxiliary or service battery from a vehicle starter battery. The input battery voltage can be above, below or equal to the output battery voltage. - Page 6 WARNING FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: 1. When working with electrical equipment or lead acid batteries, have someone nearby in case of an emergency. 2. Study and follow all the battery manufacturer’s specifc precautions when installing, using and servicing the battery connected to the charger.

2. INSTALLATION Unpacking The charger package should contain the following items : ― Battery charger ― 3x rubber cable grommets ― Battery temperature sensor (3m) ― Owner’s manual ― 3x M6 crimp terminals CAUTION After unpacking, check if the product shows any mechanical damage. Never use the product when the enclosure shows any visual damage caused by harsh handling, or when it has been dropped accidentally. -

6. Use the base of the charger as a mounting template to mark the positions of the fixing screws. CAUTION Keep a clear space of at least 10 cm around this product for cooling purposes! Wiring details WARNING For user safety during installation, please make sure that the output of the supplying source is switched off (temporary remove fuses from the fuseholders) and that no consumers are connected to the batteries. - Page 9 Before connecting the main DC cables, make sure to slide the included rubber grommets over these cables like shown in the next image. When the DC cables are connected to the charger, the rubber grommets can be slid towards the charger’s front panel until the screw connections are completely covered. Please see the image below for further wiring details.
- Page 10 CAUTION Double check for correct polarity, before connecting the battery cables to the battery! Wrong polarity will blow an internal fuse and the charger must be returned for service. Always keep positive and negative cables close to each other to minimize electromagnetic fields. ➀...
- Page 11 ➂ Please see the image below for the control wire connection locations. Connection 1 is the main On/Off control input and can only be used when DIP switch 4 is set to off. This input can be used to enable or disable the charger and is ‘active high’. When a voltage higher than 2V is applied to this input, the charger turns on.
- Page 12 ➃ DIP switch settings DIP switch 1 and 2 are used select the desired charge program for the connected output battery. Please see the table below: DIP1 DIP2 Battery type / Charge program ¹⁾ ²⁾ Flooded (default setting) Bulk/Abs voltage = 14.4V (28.8V) Float voltage = 13.5V (27.0V) ¹⁾...
- Page 13 ➄ The remaining connection options are shown below Battery temperature sensor for temperature compensated charging The optional QuickLink communication Kits allow the charger to be programmed and monitored using the Samlex Dashboard software on PC (via USB or RS232) or the Dashboard Mobile app on iOS and Android platforms (via Bluetooth).

3. GENERAL FUNCTIONALITY The charging process All selectable charge programs, perform a three stage IUoUo charging process comprising of a “Bulk” , an “Absorption”, and a “Float” stage. The image below visualizes the three stage charging process: When charger is turned on, it will start in the Bulk stage. In this stage the charger delivers full output current and typically returns approximately 80% of charge back into the battery once the absorption voltage is reached. -
