Main precaution Before handling the charger, please read carefully this manual. Precautions regarding electric shocks Risk of electric shock and danger of death: it’s strictly forbidden to interfere with the charger when under voltage. Precautions regarding accidental earth leaks The charger's PE terminal must be earthed and connected before any other terminal.

phenomena. Regulations require the presence of a battery switch on the charger outputs of the + and the - poles. Precautions regarding lightning In areas highly exposed to lightning, it may be advisable to install a lightning arrestor upstream of the charger to safeguard it against irreversible damage.

Precautions regarding dust, seepage and falling water The charger should be located so as to prevent penetration of damp, liquid, salt and dust, any of which could cause irreparable damage to the equipment and be potentially hazardous for the user. The appliance should be installed in a dry and well- ventilated place.
CRISTEC waives all liability if the installation rules and instructions for use are not observed. The warranty is valid for 36 months. 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).
2 OPERATING-PRESENTATION-INTERFACES PERATING PRINCIPLE The design of the battery chargers in the HPOWER 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 chargers are divided into 2 zones : 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 M6 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.
Depending on cable lengths, the cross-section of AC power cables must be at least equal to or greater than the values provided in the table below : Minimum cross-section for Minimum cross-section Model 115VAC for 230VAC HPO 12-90 HPO 24-45 3 x 4 mm²...
The installer should choose the type of cable (H07-VK, MX, etc.) according to the type of application and the applicable standards. The DC outputs must use a PHOENIX CONTACT connector type. If you do not have 3 batteries, the terminals non- used bank will remain unconnected.

NTERFACES AND ACCESSORIES J1201/J1202 : CAN Bus Connecteur Désignation Détail The battery charger offers two receptacles matching with connectors Molex Microfit 3.0, 6 circuits J1201 BUS CAN (reference 43025-0600). Documentation n° 1336205REG_CAN (hardware and software specification) Is J1202 available upon request. The battery charger supports the remote tactile colour display UNI-DISPLAY-R.
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.

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.
3.4.5 Indicators The following led indicators are visible on the front of the appliance for monitoring. INDICATORS STATE MEANING Charger is ON No or poor quality AC current GREEN LED Input fuse is blown "On" Internal charger malfunction ORANGE LED Charger in BOOST phase Blinking "Boost "...
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.
