  • Page 6 Introduction The IBC320 Intelligent series Battery Charger delivers up to 300 watts of precision charging power to charge up to two 12, 24, 32, or 48 volt battery systems (the batteries must share a common ground). This unit uses advanced Power Factor Correction circuitry on the AC input to use the electricity in the most effective and efficient way and will work from any standard AC voltage worldwide.
  • Page 7: Main Parts

    Package Contents The box should contain: • One IBC320 Intelligent Battery Charger • One Battery Temperature Sensor (a second sensor is available from Analytic Systems or your dealer at additional cost, if required) • One USB to Laptop cable • This user guide (a .pdf copy can be downloaded from www.analyticsystems.com) •...
  • Page 8: Operation

    Operation The IBC320 battery charger is designed for simple and intuitive operation. It is intended to operate fully unattended and will attempt to recover from any fault, including Charger Over- Temperature, Battery Over-Temperature, Low Input Voltage, AC Power Failure and more.
  • Page 9: Power Supply Mode

    In addition to being a battery charger, the IBC320 is also capable of functioning as a power supply. While in Power Supply Mode, the unit’s functionality is changed in the following ways: • The DC outputs will be live regardless of whether or not a battery is detected.
  • Page 10: Installation

    Installation MOUNTING When mounting your unit, take the following into consideration: • The indicator LEDs and front panel controls should be easy to see and access. • There are at least 2 inches of clearance all around the charger for air circulation and heat dissipation.
  • Page 11: Connection Indicators

    Connection CONNECTION INDICATORS 1. Connect the charger to the batteries as indicated under TEMP LO V Installation. 2. Check the POL LED on the front panel. If it is glowing red, the battery is connected in reverse polarity. Correct the connection to the battery (The red terminal should go to AC PRESENT Positive and black to Negative).
  • Page 12: Battery Type Indicators

    Battery Type The Battery Type parameters controls the type of charging profile that the unit will use to charge the battery. Different types of batteries have different optimal charging voltages and currents due to their physical and chemical construction. This unit is pre-programmed with four common battery types.

    Saving and Exiting To save your settings and exit Configuration mode at any point, press and hold the Program (PRG) button until you hear a one second beep. To exit without saving, simply press then Power Button to turn the unit off. NOTE: If 60 seconds passes and no button is pressed, the charger will automatically exit Configuration mode without saving any settings.
  • Page 15: Two-Stage Charging

    Stage Select The Stage (STG) select switch controls whether the unit uses a two-stage or three-stage charg- ing cycle. Generally, two-stage charging is preferred for loaded batteries and three-stage for idle or unloaded batteries. The two settings are detailed below. Bulk Maintenance Bulk...
  • Page 16 Equalize Cycle If a battery’s cells are left discharged for too long, sulfate crystals can form on the plates inter- fering with their conductance. This reduces the battery’s capacity and recharging ability. An equalize cycle is a deliberate overcharge of the battery at high voltage (110% of float voltage) and low current (10% of standard output) to force undercharged cells to match charge of the good cells in the battery.
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    Normally Closed contact. Digital Meter - Option V The IBC320 can be equipped (by factory order) with a bright chassis-integrated digital meter to display the battery voltage and charging current being supplied to up to both connected batteries.
  • Page 18: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting The IBC320 is designed to provide years of reliable service and to auto-recover in the event of an operational failure. In the event of malfunction, the unit is fitted with eight LED indicators and an audible alarm to help diagnose the cause of the issue. Below is a list of potential issues, and how to repair them.

    FAULT INDICATORS BLINKING Charger Failure Indication TEMP LO V The microprocessor has detected a condition that prevents the charger from operating. Try disconnecting the AC power and re-connecting it. If this does not clear the fault, the cause is likely an internal component failure and the charger will have to be returned for service CHARGER FAILED Battery Fail Indication...

    Abbreviations and Definitions We use a number of abbreviations on the labels to save space. Here are the full words corresponding to each abbreviation along with common battery charger terms and their definitions: ABBREVIATIONS POL – Polarity. Refers to the correct connection of the Positive and Negative terminals of the battery to the charger.
  • Page 21 DEFINITIONS • CC – Constant Current. Typically the first phase of a recharge cycle where a constant current is delivered to the battery until the voltage reaches a specific level. • CV – Constant Voltage. Typically the 2nd or 3rd phases of a recharge cycle where the battery voltage is maintained at a constant level.
