  • Page 2 Overview This compact Photonic Universe smart battery charger is specifically designed to charge various lead-acid and lithium batteries from mains power. The automatic 4 stage charging algorithm delivers fast and efficient charging. Thanks to its low current mode, this charger can recover deeply discharged batteries and recover some lost capacity from old batteries.
  • Page 3 Optional surface mounted (CB series) and recess mounted (CBR series) DC circuit breakers can be purchased from Photonic Universe. This range includes 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A and 80A circuit breakers suitable for 12V / 24V / 48V voltages (product codes CB30 – CB80, CBR40).

  • Page 5 Settings The battery type can be selected using DIP switches 2, 3 and 4. Please make sure the correct battery type is selected before charging has begun. If the battery type is changed once the charging has already begun, charging will stop for a few seconds, and then restart according to the new charging parameters.
  • Page 6 Mode setting The operating mode of the charger can be selected by holding the Mode Button for 1 second. This will cycle through the various modes. The mode indicator will flash quickly to indicate the selected mode. When the desired operating mode has been selected, release the button and it will take effect after 5 seconds.
  • Page 7 Troubleshooting The red LED will display any errors which may have occurred with the charger.

  • Page 9 Temperature sensor ACDC-TS (optional) The optional temperature sensor ACDC-TS, if fixed on the battery and connected to the charger, will measure the external temperature of the battery and provide the real time temperature readings to the charger. This is particularly useful for charging lead acid batteries in temperatures that vary substantially from the baseline temperature 25°C.
  • Page 10 Bluetooth dongle ACDC-BT (optional) Using an optional Bluetooth dongle ACDC-BT, the charger can be connected to a mobile phone app to allow the user to monitor charging parameters such as real time battery voltage, charging current, charging Ah, charging Wh and any fault information. To setup the Bluetooth dongle and connection to the mobile phone, please install the correct and up-to-date version of the app using the name, links or QR codes for the app provided in a separate user manual for the Bluetooth dongle.
  • Page 11 To change the output voltage for the power supply mode through the app: Select “Power Supply Mode” Press “OK” at the bottom Select the desired voltage of the DC power supply in the “output voltage setting” field. Press “OK” next to this field If you would like to purchase any of these optional extras, please visit our online shop www.PhotonicUniverse.com or call 0203 150 1111 (international +44 203 150 1111) for a phone order.
