This department is continually seeking new ways of incorporating the latest technology in our products. A Victron Energy power system can supply high-quality energy at places where there is no permanent mains power source available. An automatic stand alone operating energy supply system can consist of: a Victron Energy inverter, a Victron Energy battery charger, if required a Victron Energy Mains Manager and batteries with sufficient capacity.

There is a dangerous voltage present on some of the metal parts inside the battery charger. The battery charger is NOT protected against reverse battery polarity. ("+" connected to "-" and "-" connected to "+"). Follow the installation procedure. The warranty expires when the battery charger becomes defective due to reverse battery polarity.
DESCRIPTION The Titan battery charger The Titan battery charger is a fully automatic charger for 12V, 24V or 48V batteries and is powered by a mains voltage of 230Vac, 50Hz or 110Vac, 50 Hz for the Skylla-Tg 24/30 110V. It charges the battery according to the IUoUo characteristic, which is a 3-stage charging characteristic.
The Titan charger can remain connected to the battery continuously, without gas formation taking place, caused by overcharging. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery from the charger during long time storage, for example during the winter storage of a ship. The Titan charger will keep your battery in optimum condition under all circumstances and will prolong the lifetime of your battery.
0 Volt. The battery charger resumes normal operation when the short circuit is removed. The short circuit current can also be reduced by the Victron Energy COV panel. Input protection The charger mains-input is protected with a fuse.

Temperature protection The internal temperature of the charger is measured continuously. However, due to a high ambient temperature outside the cabinet the temperature within the battery charger can rise. When the external temperature of the battery charger becomes higher than 40°C, the output current decreases and the Failure led flashes. Before the internal temperature becomes too high due to extreme conditions the charger switches off and the Failure led illuminates continuously.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE Installation Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Titan charger and battery. Keep the distance between the charger and the battery less than 6 meters. The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Mounting on a wall improves the air circulation within the charger cabinet and will prolong the lifetime of the battery charger.

Connecting the starter battery The starter battery has to be connected using wire with a core of at least 1.5 mm Connect the positive (+) battery-pole to the right side of the starter battery connector, see illustration 3. Connect the negative (-) battery-pole to the left side of the starter battery connector, see illustration 3.

illustration 4b Connecting the 3phase mains Check if the battery is already connected to the charger. Remove the front of the battery charger to access the AC input connector. Connect the mains PE cable (green/yellow) to the AC input connector located next to the Magnetic Circuit Breaker, see illustration 4b.
PERATION Located on the front of the Titan charger are an on/off switch and three rows of LED’s, as shown in illustration 5. The battery charger can be switched on and off with the on/off switch. The “output voltage” LED’s indicate the output voltage value. The “output current”...
After the batteries are charged the Titan charger does not have to be switched off and the batteries can stay connected to the battery charger. Maintenance The Titan charger does not require any specific maintenance. However an annual check of the battery connections is recommended.
OPTIONS The Titan charger is factory set to standard values. Some of these standard values can be changed by a qualified electrical technician into customised values. This chapter describes which values can be changed and how to change them. The cover of the Titan may only be removed by a qualified technician. Before obtaining access to the Titan the mains supply circuit must be disconnected.
In some cases, for example when the battery is almost empty, it is recommended to permanent boost-charge the battery for 10 hours. Do not permanently boost-charge sealed lead-acid batteries. Contact your Victron Energy dealer or battery dealer for more information on charging the battery.
12 hours Diode-splitter charge voltage compensation. If a diode-splitter (Victron Energy Argo) is connected to the Titan charger the charging voltage have to be raised to compensate for the voltage loss over the diode-splitter. If the voltage-sense option is used, it is not recommended to use the diode-splitter compensation.
Adjusted the output voltage to the desired voltage, see chapter 4.2. With the above mentioned procedure the output voltage range is limited. When the full output voltage range is required please contact your Victron Energy dealer. See chapter 6.3 for details.
Charging batteries with voltage sensing Do not use the voltage-sense facility in combination with the diode- splitter compensation as this will raise the output voltage. When high current runs trough a thin cable between the charger and the battery there will be a voltage loss in the cables.
67 Vdc 4.11 Connecting remote panels Victron Energy provides four optional remote panels that can be connected to the charger. See illustration 8 for the circuit board connector where the remote panels have to be connected to. The COV panel: The maximum charging current of 30A or 50A, according to the model, can be limited with an external panel.
To connect he panel: Disconnect the mains Connect the on led to the “L_ON” connector. Connect the ground of the panel to the “GND” connector. Connect the connection “TG switch” to the “REM” connector. The SKC panel: This panel indicates if the charger is on or off, it indicates the charging mode and it contains an adjustable potentiometer.
4.14 Connecting a voltmeter The remote-connector offers a possibility to connect a voltmeter. It is possible to connect a digital as well as a analogue voltmeter. This output can only be used when the voltage- sense is connected. The voltage at this output is equal to the voltage measured at the point where the voltage sense wires are connected.
When a fault occurs in the battery charger, the following table can be used in order to find the fault. Before the Titan is being checked, make sure that all the devices connected to the battery charger are removed. If the fault can not be solved contact your Victron Energy dealer. Problem...
