Precautions regarding accidental earth leaks The charger's PE terminal must be earthed and connected before any other terminal. The charger must be closed before it is turned on with the screw provided for this purpose. Accidental leakage current between phase and earth : standard NFC15-100 should be followed when installing.

damage. Precautions regarding overheating of the appliance This appliance is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall or partition as indicated herein. It is imperative that there be a gap of 150mm around the charger. The installer must ensure that the temperature of the air at the input is lower than 65°C in extreme operating conditions.

Precautions regarding inflammable materials The charger should not be used near inflammable materials, liquids or gases. The batteries can emit explosive gases : please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when installing them. Nearby the batteries : ventilate the area, do not smoke, do not use any open flame.
CRISTEC waives all liability if the installation rules and instructions for use are not observed. The warranty applies if the origin of the failure is a fault internal to the charger due to CRISTEC. The warranty applies for equipment returned to the Quimper plant (France).
OPERATING-PRESENTATION-INTERFACES PERATING PRINCIPLE The design of the battery chargers in the YPOWER range is based on a high-frequency split converter that transforms the AC signal into regulated and filtered DC current. They can operate as a DC power supply. Once the type of battery and type of charge has been selected, operation of the battery charger is entirely automatic (unless otherwise specified by the supplier or the manufacturer of the batteries).
The user interface zone • The energy conversion zone (all maintenance in this area is forbidden except with CRISTEC authorization, under penalty of warranty termination) Fixing of the charger is made by 4 x M5 round head screws (screw head diameter less than 10 mm).
47 to 65Hz. Generators The CRISTEC battery chargers are designed to operate from a generator. Be careful : In some cases, the generators can produce high over voltages, in particular during start-up phase. Before connecting the charger, please check its compatibility with the characteristics of the generator : power, voltage, overvoltage, frequency, current, etc.

The type of cable (H07-VK, MX, etc.) should be defined by the installer according to the application type and applicable standards. For applications where the electricity network may be either 115VAC or 230VAC, always choose the cross section recommended for 115VAC. Always use cable markers without insulating collars in accordance with installation standards governing AC network input connections.
3.2.2 Battery cable Disconnect batteries before any wiring and junction of the connector. Please check the compatibility of voltage, current and setting according to the battery type before switching ON the charger. Checking of the charge voltage Before connecting the batteries to the charger, first check their polarity. Equally check the battery voltage with a calibrated voltmeter.
3.2.3 Precautions regarding electromagnetic disturbance generated by the appliance We recommend a minimum distance of 2m between the charger and any potentially sensitive equipment. Use shielded cables for all the connections (*). The shielding should be earthed at both the transmitting and the receiving ends.
WITCHES SETTING ADJUSTMENT INDICATORS 3.3.1 Description The YPOWER chargers are equipped with switches to configure the charger according the battery type and the application. 1 = ON 0 = OFF 2 charging modes are available : The BOOST function enables a faster charge of the batteries. This function is timed controlled (see table here after) and is automatically switched off when the battery is fully charged : BOOST stops when batteries current <...
3.3.2 Setting according to the batteries type Maximum Maximum Description of the Voltage* with Voltage* with duration of duration of Switches setting battery type BOOST OFF BOOST ON BOOST at ABSOPTION at +/- 5% T +/- 5% T BOOST Opened type bat 13.4V 14.1V free electrolyte (wet)
For special batteries, call in a professional installer, who will make the specific settings in accordance with the battery manufacturer's specifications and according to the specifics of the installation. CRISTEC is not liable for any damage caused to the batteries or for inefficient recharging.
3.3.5 Charging curve BOOST in ON position With this setting the YPOWER charger delivers a 5-step charge curve IUoU + automatic weekly recycling (switch E) + return to automatic BOOST : BOOST, ABSORPTION, FLOATING + REFRESH, REBOOST. V BOOST : BOOST voltage (see table above) V FLOAT : FLOATING voltage (see table above : voltage with no BOOST)
REFRESH phase : It is an automatic weekly cycle (Inhibited or not by means of switch F) in order to optimize the battery life duration. It will occur only after a complete recharge cycle (BOOST, ABSORPTION and FLOATING).The charger will generate automatically a safe timed voltage step every 7 days whatever the position of BOOST switch.
Disconnect the battery charger from the AC power network and disconnect the batteries before undertaking any repairs. When fuses have blown, only use fuses of the type and size recommended in this manual. Please contact CRISTEC or their distributor for any other repairs. Any repair without CRISTEC prior agreement entails an exclusion of warranty.
