French Army. Military practice recommends capacities from 20Ah to 400Ah for the UL30F. In case of higher capacities the time of charging will be extend. Civil batteries can be different to this specification. The manufacturer information must be defined.
1. Technical Information UL30F Type: UL30F Part-No.: UL30F.042 109-0037 NSN: 6130-12-399-1912 Manufacturer: NorTec Electronics GmbH & Co. KG An der Strusbek 32 B D-22926 Ahrensburg Tel.: +49/ (0) 4102 / 42002 Fax: +49/ (0) 4102 / 42840 E-Mail: info@nortec-electronics.de Web: www.nortec-electronics.de...

Operating temperature: -25 to +40 °C (in case of higher temperature the output power will be reduced) Storage temperature: -40 to +85 °C Humidity: (5-95) % for T u =55°C Dimensions (L x H x l in mm): 240 x 120 x 90 Weight: 2.3 kg without charging cable Confirmations:...
Please check in advance whether this voltage is available and corresponds to the value on the type label of the charger. The design of the UL30F doesn’t require a certain order of installation and handling. Especially the wrong polarity protection prevents installation damages.
Provide a contact socket (230V ± 10% / 50-60 Hz) in the radius around the planned installation position of the UL30F Note The number of devices in regard to the protection values of the power supply lines must be limited: Max. Input power UL30F: 500VA = 2.5A @ 200V AC net voltage (under voltage)
5. Construction 5.1 Housing The UL30F battery charger is built into a dust and spray-water protected aluminum housing with protection class IP65. All power modules are connected to the rear wall in a heat-tight manner. The mains cable is watertight and strain-relieved connected to the housing by a PG gland.
6. Charging 6.1 Preface Proper battery charging is the first prerequisite for a long battery life. The UL30F treats any kind of lead-acid-batteries with a nominal voltage of 24V in the optimum way. In order to avoid permanent damage on the battery caused by deep discharge, which can lead the battery being unusable, the battery has to be checked regularly.

The battery charger and trickle charger UL30F can be used for 24V lead-acid batteries. Military practice recommends capacities from 20Ah to 400Ah for the UL30F. In case of higher capacities the time of charging will be extend. Civil batteries can be different to this specification. The manufacturer information must be defined.
6.3 Temperature Compensation The UL30F works with a temperature compensation of the charge voltage according to the specifications of the battery manufacturers. This results in optimal charging even under extreme climatic conditions and prevents battery damage. Charging Voltage per cell...
7. Fault Indication and Rectification < 7.1 Continuous Red Light «VOLTAGE 25.4V» The Red LED lights up when the battery voltage drops below 25.4V. The Red LED can lights up in conjunction with the LED „Pre-charging “, „Main-charging” or „Trickle Charging”.
7.2 Flashing Red Light «Device error» Reasons and Measures - Charging cable not connected? • Check and connect - Power supply unit fuse 2A defect? • Replace defective fuse and repeat procedure. • If the defect still exists the battery charger needs to be checked by repair department or manufacturer.
7.3 Continuous Red Light «Battery error» Possible Causes • The battery connection is interrupted. • The battery is still deep discharged and not able to be charged even after the permissible time of pre-charging. • The allowed time of main-charging is exceeded and the charging current is not decreased to 1A.
8. Accessories 8.1 Transportation frame Up to two devices UL30F can be fixed on the transportation frame with two main sockets. The transportation frame has a connection cable of 10m length. Up to 8 devices may be connected to a single mains socket in a row which is fused with 16A.
8.2 Vehicle connection cable 032F Vehicle connection cable for direct connection of battery chargers with 7-pole connector type 16S and vehicle with external start adapter (two-pole according to VG 96 917). Pic. 7: Vehicle connection cable 032F 8.3 Battery connection cable 033E The cable enables direct connection of battery chargers with 7-pole connector type 16S and the battery with 80A battery clamps.
