    THE CHARGER IS NOW READY FOR OPERATION OPERATION PROCEDURE Charger Controls and User Interface Users operate the REVOLUTION series of chargers through each charger’s front panel LCD/keypad (Figure 18). This is the main user interface for viewing operation and fault messages. It also allows limited charger programming options.

  • Page 30: Basic Charge Cycle Operation

    Basic Charge Cycle Operation Figure 19: Typical charge cycle – charge modes The typical charge cycle for conventional and opportunity chargers consists of the first four modes (TR, CC, CV, FI) on a daily basis, with all five modes (TR, CC, CV, FI, EQ) occurring on a weekly basis.
  • Page 31 See Appendix D for further details. Installation instructions for the thermistor can be obtained at http://powerdesignerssibex.com/. REVOLUTION Chargers can include optional interfaces for communication with the PowerTrac Battery monitoring devices. The PowerTrac, battery data logger option allows the charger to have multi-voltage (24/36/48)* capabilities, giving the charger the ability to automatically adapt to the battery voltage and Ahr capacity.

  • Page 47 B. Charger Fault During Operation The REVOLUTION Series features a modular and fault-tolerant design that allows the Charger to continue operation despite the loss of a portion of the modules through temporary or permanent fault conditions. If a module faults during the charging cycle, the fault is recorded, and the charge cycle continues.
  • Page 48 If the number of faulted modules results in the Charger having less than 60% of the “Installed Modules” operational, the charge cycle will be interrupted, and a fault message is displayed. Examples of possible faults follow: 1. AC Fault Possible Causes AC line voltage outside of allowable limits.
  • Page 49 3. Over-Current / Primary Over-Current Fault Possible Causes Damaged DC (output) cables. (open or short)  Troubleshooting a. Select STOP to revert to the Connect Battery or Push START screens. b. Verify that the output cables are in good working condition and are properly connected to the battery.
  • Page 50 Troubleshooting a. Select STOP to revert to the Connect Battery or Push START screens. b. Allow the charger to cool down. c. Make sure there are no airflow restrictions to the intake or exhaust of the charger. d. Restart the charge cycle by selecting START. e.
