INDUSTRIAL BATTERY CHARGER OWNER’S MANUAL
INSTALLATION: READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE. All AES SERIES 1 charg rs ar for
indoor us only. Charging ar as must b cl an, dry and fr from combustibl mat rials, and/or op n flam s. Charging ar as must b
prop rly v ntilat d and smoking should n v r b allow d in or n ar th charging ar a. Th t mp ratur of th charging room should b
b tw n 32o F and 104o F.
CAUTION To r duc th risk of fir , us only on circuits provid d with branch circuit prot ction indicat d in Tabl 1 (pag 2) in
accordanc with th NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA 70.
MOUNTING: SERIES 1 charg rs must b mount d on a surfac construct d from con-combustibl mat rial, such as ston , brick,
concr t or m tal.
INPUT POWER CONNECTION: Th INPUT POWER is to b conn ct d via th suppli d lin cord or to th short 10 AWG “pigtails”
(consult Tabl 1).
Batt ry charging products can caus s rious injury, d ath or damag to oth r quipm nt and prop rty if th saf ty rul s ar not strictly
follow d.
SERIES 1 CONTROL FEATURES:
1. Automatic fiv -s cond d lay d start upon conn ction of a prop rly siz d batt ry.
2. Batt ry voltag is continually monitor d.
3. Automatic charg t rmination 3 hours aft r th 80% charg point.
4. 80% charg point s l ctabl 2.37 or 2.45 volts p r c ll.(consult factory r pr s ntativ for 2.45 vpc s tting proc dur )
5. On / off Equaliz switch provid d to xt nd charg 3 additional hours aft r normal charg t rmination.
6. Backup tim r - 12 hours to th 80% point.
7. Automatic fault shut down: display d num rically on th 2 digit LED r adout:
a. Fault ode 1 - Low volts p r c ll - l ss than 1.7 vpc
b. Fault ode 2 - High volts p r c ll - gr at r than 2.7 or 2.80 vpc (s t with 80% point)
c. Fault ode 3 - Batt ry disconn ct d from charg r during charg
d. Fault ode 4 - Charg tim xc d d - backup tim r xpir d
. Fault ode 5 - Low charging curr nt - charging curr nt l ss than approximat ly 3 amps
8. M mory r t ntion during AC pow r loss.
9. R fr sh cycl (optional) - 30 minut s v ry 24 hours. (consult factory r pr s ntativ for s tting proc dur )
10. D lay start (optional) - 1 hour non-r s ttabl (consult factory r pr s ntativ for s tting proc dur )
11. Automatic LED t st - All LED’s flash alt rnat r d / gr n upon AC pow r and batt ry conn ction.
12. Fault ode 0 - Manual stop button - us d to nd th charging proc ss
13. Displays:
a. 2-digit LED r adout - displays charging curr nt and Fault cod s.
b. Equaliz LED - on solid wh n unit is s t to qualiz , flash s wh n unit is in qualiz charg mod .
c. Shutdown LED - on solid wh n charg r has compl t d a normal charg cycl , flash s wh n a fault has occurr d.
INPUT VOLTAGE CHANGEOVER: If th charg r is capabl of mor than on input voltag consult th attach d sch matic and
chang ov r lab l insid th charg r to r configur th charg r as r quir d. B sur to r configur both th pow r transform r taps and
control transform r voltag switch, and r plac th lin cord and plug ass mbly with on rat d p r th NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE and
Tabl 1.
OPERATING PROCEDURE: V rify that th charg r is wir d for th input AC sourc availabl . Conn ct th charg r to AC sourc . Th
charg r’s 2 LED’s will flash s v ral tim s and a “0” (z ro) will scroll across th LED display.
Conn ct a prop rly siz d (sam c ll numb r and amp-hrs siz ) batt ry to th charg r. Th charg r LED’s will again flash s v ral
tim s. If th charg r and batt ry ar match d and all ar in good working ord r, th charg r will start charging and display th charging
curr nt on th digital LED display. If th charg r and batt ry ar mismatch d or ith r is d f ctiv th charg r will shutdown and display a
fault cod . Consult th charg r front pan l lab l for fault cod s.
Th charg r will automatically t rminat th charg cycl 3 hours aft r th 80% point is r ach d unl ss th qualiz button is
pr ss d or a fault condition occurs. Aft r a normal charg compl tion th charg r will r turn to displaying th s qu ncing z ro. Th batt ry
can now b saf ly unplugg d sinc all charging has stopp d. If th charg r was still in charg mod , pr ssing th STOP button will
t rminat th charging proc ss and allow th batt ry to b saf ly unplugg d.
