Protection Features
1.Thermal Self-Protection: When the internal temperature of the charger exceeds
80℃, the charging current will reduce automatically. If exceeds 85℃, the charger will
shutdown protectively, there is no current output in this case. When the internal
temperature drops to 80℃, it will resume charging automatically.
2. Short-circuit Protection: When the charger encounters unexpected short circuit
across the output, charging will automatically stop. By cutting AC power for 10
seconds, the charger can be re-set and will start normally(with the output circuit
corrected)
3. High and Low Voltage Protection: When the input AC Voltage is higher or lower
than the rated input voltage range, the charger will shutdown protectively, but resume
working after the voltage is normal again.
Inter-lock Function

3
Connect to coil of main contactor, DC/DC converter or controller enable wires.
Normally battery voltage +, but OV while charging.
Note: The current through green Interlock wire must not exceed 2A.
Choice of Charging Curve (curve 1~10)
1.The LED will flash red several times when AC is first connected, then the LED will
flash green once. The number of red flashes denotes the present curve. E.g. If the
red flashes three times, it means the present curve is curve 3.
2.To choose another curve, please cut off the power supply first, then unpeel the label,
pressing the button while connecting the power. If you want to choose curve 3,
release the button after the 3rd LED Flash. Now the selected curve (e.g. curve 3) will
be recorded in memory. If you want the charger to work with the selected curve (e.g.
curve 3), cut off the power and reconnect it.

Installation & Safety Instructions
Our charger has been designed for safety and reliability. It is important to observe the
following precautions and installation instructions in order to avoid damage to
persons and to the battery charger. For further reference retain the instruction.
1. Attach the charger to a stable surface with the holes on the mounting tabs. In case
of installation on a vehicle, it is advisable to use anti-vibration supports.
2. Preferably the charger should be installed in the vertical position with radiator fins
vertical. A space of 10cm above ground should be open to ensure airflow. Never
install in the vertical position with fins facing down. Refer to drawing below

3. Ensure all heat-dissipating parts are not obstructed to avoid overheating. Do not
put the battery charger near any heat sources. Make sure that free space around the
charger is enough to provide adequate ventilation & easy cable socket access.
4. For safety and electromagnetic compatibility the battery charger has a 3-prong plug
that will only plug into a properly grounded outlet.
5. To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or place it where it will
be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
6. If you are using an extension cord or power strip, make sure that the total of the
amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s
rating.
7. Verify that the selected charging curve is right for the type of battery to be charged.
8. In order to avoid voltage drop, the output cables must be as short as possible, and
the wire gauge must be adequate for the output current.
9. Do not try to service the charger yourself. Opening the cover may expose you to
shock or other hazards.
10. If the charger does not work correctly or if it has been damaged, unplugged it
immediately from the supply socket, from the battery and contact a retailer.
11. The thermal compensation probe for the battery voltage must be placed in the
area of the highest battery temperature, such as between 2 batteries near the center
of the pack.
Attentions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel. Disconnect the mains supply before connecting or disconnecting
the links to the battery. Read the instruction manual carefully before use. Verify that
the selected charge curve is suitable for the type of battery you have to charge.
