Votronic VAC 1215 F 3A II Installation And Operating Manual

Installation and Operating Manual
Automatic Charger VAC 1215 F 3A II
Automatic Charger VAC 1230 F 3A II
Automatic Charger VAC 2416 F 3A II
Fully-automatic built-in chargers in protection class II (mains connection 2-core, without protective
conductor). DIN 14679: 2008-03 Fire Protection for fire-fighting and special purpose vehicles.
Please read these installation and operating instructions in full,
in particular page 2 "Safety guidelines and intended use", before you start connecting and
commissioning the device.
ATTENTION: The values being indicated in parentheses ( ) apply to 24 V operation.
VOTRONIC chargers of series "VAC F" distinguish by their compact design, low weight (high-frequency switching power
supply, Switch Mode Technology), as well as full charging capacity - even in the event of large fluctuations in the power
supply (undervoltage/overvoltage, sine wave form, frequency).
The intelligent microprocessor charging control with charging programs "IU1oU2oU3" (constant current - constant voltage)
and dynamic charging time calculation ensures automatic, quick and gentle full charging, as well as subsequent 100 %
trickle charge of the connected batteries from any charging state. At the same time, simultaneous supply of 12 V (24 V)
consumer loads, which are connected in parallel, is ensured or charging of very large batteries (depending on case of
application).
Battery Ports and Charging Programs:
Main charging port battery I (master), depending on the type of battery, 5 adjustable charging programs (see table 1):
a) "DIN AGM": Closed, gas-tight AGM/fleece batteries VRLA (lead-fleece technology) "14.8 V"
b) "DIN Gel": Closed, gas-tight gel/dryfit batteries VRLA (determined electrolyte)
c) "DIN VL": Closed acid/lead-acid batteries with water consumption according to DIN EN 50342-1 "very low"
d) "DIN L": Closed acid/lead-acid batteries with water consumption according to DIN EN 50342-1 "low"
and closed AGM/fleece batteries with indication of the charging voltage "14.4 V"
e) "Start": Closed acid/lead-acid batteries with standard water consumption
Charging Port Battery II, adjustable charging programs depending on the type of battery (see table 2):
a) "II = I": Charging programs as battery I with parallel charging by integrated charging current distributor
b) "II < I": Designed for charging of starter batteries (max. charging current also for the starter battery)
Control Output "+86" (Engine Immobilizer)
12 V (24 V) signalling port for power supply indicator or vehicle engine immobilizer by external relay.
Voltage is supplied, as soon as the charger is connected to the mains, also during stand by.
Further Characteristics of the Unit:
•
The charging voltage is free from peaks and is controlled in such a way, that overcharging of the batteries is excluded.
•
Fully Automatic Continuous Operation: The charger may be connected continuously to the battery, thus keeping the
full charge. Battery discharge in case of power failure is avoided (separation by safety relay).
• Battery regeneration in case of extended standstill periods: twice a week to avoid harmful acid accumulation.
• Parallel and Floating Operation: In case of simultaneous consumption, the battery will either continue to be charged
or maintained via trickle charging. Calculation and control of the adaptation of the charging times is effected
automatically by the charger.
• Unattended Charging: Multiple protection against overload, overheating, overvoltage, undervoltage, short circuit,
reverse battery, incorrect behaviour and back discharge of the battery by electronically controlled gradual reduction
down to complete separation of charger and battery by integrated safety relays.
