This manual is designed for use by any skilled worker wishing
to use Hawker Lifetech®Modular battery chargers for rechar-
ging lead/acid vented, (with or without electrolyte mixing),
valve regulated AGM and gel batteries.
This manual provides details of:
• Thechargers’functions.
• Anyadjustmentsrequiredandhowtousethechargers.
When producing this manual, EnerSys®has aimed to provide
its information in as simple and precise a manner as possible
but cannot assume any responsibility for any misinterpreta-
tion. The owner of the equipment is required to retain this
manual throughout the equipment’s life and to pass it on
to any purchaser in the event of its resale.
The manufacturer covers the guarantee in accordance with
the local regulations (contact local sales organization).
Recommended use
This manual should be read through carefully before using
the equipment and also read by anyone likely to use the
equipment.
Theequipment:
• Presentsnoobstaclestothefreecirculationofairthrough
the air inlet and outlet but, nevertheless, should be cleaned
ofdusteverysixmonthsbyaqualiedperson.
• Must be used in conformance with its indicated level of
protection and never come into contact with water.
• Must be used within the temperature limits stated in the
technical characteristics.
• Mustnotbeinstalledonsurfacessubjecttovibration(near
to compressors, engines, motors).
• Mustbeinstalledsothatthegasesfromthebatterybeing
charged, do not get sucked into the charger by its fan.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical and mental capacities, who
are not experienced in their use, unless instructed to do so by
a person responsible for their safety.
Operator safety
Take all necessary precautions when the equipment will
be used in areas where there is the possible risk of an
accident occurring. Ensure appropriate ventilation accor-
ding to standard EN 62485-3 to allow any gases released to
escape. Never disconnect the battery while it is being charged.
ELEctrIcaL SafEty
The prevailing safety regulations must be observed. The sys-
tem protection installed on the power supply to the charger
must conform to the charger’s electrical characteristics. The
installation of a suitable circuit breaker is recommended. It is
imperative to ensure that when fuses are being replaced only
fuses of the specied type and of the correct are used. It is
strictly forbidden to use inappropriate fuses or to short-circuit
thefuseholders.ThisequipmentconformstoClass1safety
standards, which means that the appliance must be earthed
andrequirestobepoweredfromanearthedsupply.
Never open the equipment: High voltage could be still present
even turning off the charger.
Any adjustment, maintenance or repairs to the equipment
while it is open must only be carried out by an appropriately
skilled person who is aware of the risks involved.
Contact one of the company’s trained technicians if any prob-
lem is encountered when putting the charger into operation.
Thisequipmenthas beendesignedfor indooruse.It isonly
designed to recharge lead/acid batteries on industrial premises.
Whentheequipmentbecomesobsolete,thecasingsandthe
other internal components can be disposed of by specialist
companies. Local legislation takes precedence over any inst-
ructions in this document and must be scrupulously observed
(WEEE2002/96EC).

If the charger is to be stored before its use, it must be
kept carefully sealed in its original packaging. It must be
stored in a clean and dry location at a moderate tempera-
ture (-20°C to +40°C). Equipment stored at a temperature of
less than 15°C must be brought progressively to operating
temperature (over a period of 24 hours) to avoid any risk of
condensation causing electrical faults (particularly short-
circuits).

The Lifetech®Modular range of chargers enable batteries to
be recharged from the mains supply. The microprocessor con-
trol automatically recognizes the battery’s voltage, capacity,
state of charge, etc., providing optimum battery control from
highlyefcientanalysesofitscondition.

The charger can be wall or floor mounted. If wall mounted
make sure that the surface is free of vibrations and the char-
ger is mounted in a vertical position; if floor mounted make
sure that the surfaces are free of vibration, water, humidity.
You must avoid areas where the chargers may be splashed
with water.

To the mains supply
You may only connect to the 1-phase 230Vac or 3-phase
400Vac mains supply (depending on the type of the charger)
by means of a standard socket and an appropriate circuit
breaker (not supplied). The current consumption is shown on
thecharger’sinformationplate.

Connection to battery
The charger must be connected to the battery by the cables
supplied:
• TheREDcable:tothebattery’sPOSITIVEterminal.
• TheBLACKcable:tothebattery’sNEGATIVEterminal.
Initiating charging
1. Connect the battery. If Default setting (autostart ON) then
the charge will start automatically else press the Start/
Stop button.
The display will show 3 different screens alternating
Completion of charging
1. The LCD screen will give you the message of availability
(AVAIL)
The battery is charged and ready to use.
2. STOP the charge and disconnect the battery.
To stop the charge press the Stop/Start button.
Never disconnect the battery during charge without stopping
the charging process.
This could lead to dangerous sparks or to charger damage.
3. Completion of charging with equalization

Check that the fan(s) is (are) working correctly and/or that the
ambient temperature is not too high or whether there is poor
natural ventilation to the charger.
MOD TH Alternating with charge parameters -
one or more modules in thermal fault -
the charge process continues - the faulty
module(s) is (are) displayed + red led
ashing.
Check that the fan(s) is (are) working correctly and/or that the
ambient temperature is not too high or whether there is poor
natural ventilation to the charger.
If all modules are in thermal fault then a TH* fault will follow.

DEF ID Blocking fault - one or more modules
are not compatible with the charger
conguration (for example 24V charger
with one 48V module). This can happen
if the user replaces one module with
another one with a different voltage
setting.
Use correct module.
