ABF10
Automatic Battery Flash Module
The Power-Tronics ABF10 Automatic
Battery Flash Module is a convenient and
compact optional automated flashing
module for all Power-Tronics voltage
regulating products and is compatible with
many other manufacturers' voltage
regulators. The ABF10 offers an easy
method to add a fully automatic
aftermarket battery flash unit to any
generator.
The ABF10 is designed specifically for
automated battery flashing of a generator's
control field. A reduced wire count and
generic installation make the ABF10
suitable for use on a wide range of
applications. Automating the battery field
flash improves reliability and greatly
improves safety for the operator.
Like the rest of our products, the ABF10
Automatic Battery Flash Module is
designed and manufactured with heavy
duty components to withstand the harshest
environmental conditions and provide
extreme reliability. Onboard fusing and an
encapsulated design mean the ABF10 will
stand up to extreme operating conditions.
Indicator lights help the operator know the
status of the flashing module and a voltage
operated design helps guarantee reliable
voltage buildup and a safe flashing
process.
