THE BATTERY CHARGERS HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR FIXED INSTALLATIONS (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY). “Studer Innotec” battery chargers have been designed and made for the reasons described in this user’s manual. The “Studer Innotec” Company does not accept any responsibility for direct or indirect damage caused by improper use of the equipment, bad installation or by possible errors occurring in this manual.
CHARACTERISTICS AND INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION On the basis of the type of model, use the batteries and cables on the output terminals as specified in the following table: MBC 12-08/2 MBC 12-12/2 MBC 12-25/3 MBC 24-12/2 MODEL Battery voltage...
INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT SUPPLY The equipment already includes a power cable for AC supply. For connections to an AC supply see fig.2. Before powering up the battery charger check that the power supply voltage, described on the rating label, corresponds to that supplied by the AC supply source. In the electrical circuit a two-pole switch must be installed for the sole use of switching the equip- ment ON &...

INSTALLATION If the installation has only one or two groups of batteries, always connect the output marked “MAS- TER”. This is the main outlet of the battery charger. If the “MASTER” is not connected, the battery charger may supply an output voltage lower than rated. It is advisable to connect the group of batteries which are used more often (typically the service group) to the MASTER output terminal.

OPERATING CONTROL SIGNALS (ONLY MBC 12-25/3) The battery charger has a 9-pin female connector (connector DB9, see fig..4) on which the analog si- gnals can be seen and used to monitor and control the equipment. The position and description of the signals on the connector are listed below: FIG.
OPERATING OPERATION When the battery charger is switched on, it automatically selects the optimum charge mode to best suit the batteries or load connected. The battery charger has a loading characteristic of the IUoU type. CHARGING CHARACTERISTICS Charging occurs in 3 phases: BULK phase (constant current) - The batteries need more current than the battery charger can sup- ply.
OPERATING - MAINTENANCE CONTROL PANEL The control panel is made-up of three LEDS: POWER LED, FLOAT LED and CHARGE LED (BULK, ABSORPTION, see fig.4) The information supplied by the LEDS are listed below: POWER LED Description LED Color No mains power or overheating. In case of overheating check if the installation of the battery charger is correct.

INSTALLATION The positive terminal of the battery or of the group of batteries must be connected to one of the positive terminals of the battery charger. The negative terminal of the battery or of the group of batteries must be connected to the negative terminal of the battery charger. To make the con- nections use the cable terminals supplied with the equipment.

OPERATING I GB OPERATION When the battery charger is switched on for a short period, all the LEDS on the front panel will light up. After that the battery charger will place itself in the optimum charging mode to best suit the batteries or load connected.
OPERATING CONTROL PANEL The control panel is made-up of three LED, a 7 segment display and a button: POWER LED, CHARGE PHASE LED (BULK, ABSORPTION, FLOAT) ERROR LED, STATUS display and ON/STAND-BY button (see fig.4). FIG.4 ON/STAND-BY BUTTON: Use this button to put the battery charger in stand-by mode. To activate this mode simply press the button quickly (press and release in less than one second).
