GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This battery charger converts AC power to 12Vbattery.
A AC power socket is provided for connecting to the AC power
source. Terminal blocks are provided for connecting to the battery. Be
sure that the polarity of battery must be connected correctly, or the
charger will be damaged.
NORMAL RESPONSE
Connect AC input to the AC source. The “CHARGER ON” LED will light
up, indicate input AC voltage presents. The “FLOAT” LED will also light
up. The case shows that no current flows though the output and can
be neglected. Press “GEL” for maintenance free battery or press
“FLOODED” for wet battery. Connect DC output to the battery. The
“BULK” LED will light up. The battery starts to be charged up with an
output voltage(14.2V for GEL or 14.4V for FLOODED). When the
battery rises to the voltage which is equal to the output voltage, “BULK”
will light out and “ABSORPTION” will light up. The battery continues to
be charged up. When the battery reaches 90% of its capacity,
“ABSORPTION” will light out and “FLOAT” will light up. NOW the battery
is over 90% and continues to be charged with 13.8V output. The
battery is ready to be used.
For GPSC-012-20A, GPSC-012-40A, the cooling fan is thermal
controlled. It will operate if the charger inside temperature is over 40°C.
PROTECTIONS
a)Current limiting : Current is limited
by the max.
outputcurrent.
b)Output short circuit :
Charger shutdown and restart
when the problem is
corrected.
c)Battery reverse polarity :
DC fuse break when harmful
reverse current flows.
d)Input EMI filter and surge : Charger do not interfere with
each other.
e)Output loading with isolator :
Outputs are isolated to each
other.
f)Input isolated : Input and output are isolated.
CABLE SELECTION GUIDE
Models
GPSC-012-15A 2 mm2
GPSC -012-20A 4 mm2
GPSC -012-40A 6mm2
Note: Using cable which is thinner than suggested size will cause
lower efficiency or the battery charging will be poor.
OPERATION TIPS
For optimum performance, the battery charger should only be used in
locations that meet the following requirements:
(a) Dry -do not allow water to drip or splash on the charger.
(b) Cool -ambient air temperature should be between 0?and 40
?, ideally between 15?and 25?.
(c) Ventilation -at least 5 CM of clearance around the charger for
air flow.
NOTICE
(1) Each output of the charger is isolated. The total output current
is equal to the last term of the model no.
(2) The charger and the battery will not damage if you press GEL
for wet battery or press FLOODED for maintenance free
battery. However the SPECIAL FUNCTION: Charge gel battery
with 14.2V or flooded battery with 14.4V will be void.
(3) It is advisable to disconnect the charger from the battery when
it is not charge. Indication LED may light up when AC input is
absent but output is connected to the battery.
CAUTION
1) DO NOT USE THE CHARGER NEAR FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS OR IN ANY LOCATION WHICH MAY
ACCUMULATE FLAMMABLE FUMES OR GASES.
2) HOT SURFACE WHEN OPERATION, ESPECIALLY AT
FULL LOAD CONDITION.
3) DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE CONNECTION
OF THE BATTERY.
