2 Equipment Description
The TS1340+ Battery Charger / nalyser is an electronically controlled combined universal
battery charging unit with built in battery analysing capabilities. It is housed in a heavy-duty
metal enclosure designed for wall mounting via six M8 fixing points on the rear. s it is supplied
it is configured for use from a standard ship’s supply of 115V 50/60Hz, it can be alternatively
supplied for use with 240V 50Hz mains. The technical manual will describe how the voltage
selection can be changed.
Equipment control is via an interactive alphanumeric two-line display and data entry is via a 16-
key keypad. Operating modes and functions are selected by the use of a simple menu system.
ccess to charging and testing operations is performed by either entry of full Nato Stock
Numbers (NSN) of batteries to be used. During operation the display will show the instantaneous
values of battery voltage, current and time elapsed through the selected program. n alternative
display is available which reports more technical information on the TS1340+’s internal status.
Battery data is stored internally in the TS1340+ in non-volatile memory. complete list of NSN
batteries is included along with the accepted charging and testing data. The operator can extend
this list by entering the details of the battery to be included on the display and keyboard. The
battery library data can be updated by remote control as and when required.
Batteries are connected to the front of the TS1340+ by means of two individual multi-pole
connectors. Within the connecting leads multi-core cables are employed which allow the
incorporation of two wire voltage sensing, this feature means that the TS1340+ measures the
battery voltage at the battery and does not experience the effect of voltage drops due to cable
losses. Connection to the battery has to be made via the appropriate connectors for that battery.
The TS1340+ has provision for battery temperature monitoring this is not a functional feature at
this time.
The TS1340+ has extended operating capabilities compared to its predecessor the TS1340.
Maximum charge current has been increased to 25 for batteries 20V to 30V and 40 for
batteries 1.2V to 20V. (Note for TS1340+ B F50 this rating has been increased to 50 ).
Capacity testing has been increased to a maximum of 50 for a 28V battery and 60 for a 12V
battery. (Note for batteries less than 10V discharge current has to be de-rated to allow for the
TS1340+’s internal resistance). In all instances the power graphs need to be referred to as the
ratings are for typical batteries, the maximum ratings are subject to de-rating for voltage. See
the power graphs in the technical manual for more details.
The TS1340+ contains two hi flow rate fans to extract the heat energy generated internally when
running in capacity test mode. In situations of extreme ambient temperature the TS1340+ is
protected from overheating and thermal runaway by internal temperature sensors. When the
heat thresholds are reached the operator is initially warned of the problem via an alarm and the
display. When the maximum heat value is reached the TS1340+ will stop charging or testing and
inform the operator by the display and audible alarm.

There is one capacity test program built into the TS1340+. This will discharge the battery
connected at the current specified for the test duration specified. The capacity test will be
stopped if the target threshold voltage is reached before the full test time has elapsed. During
the capacity test and when it is terminated the display will show the amount the capacity test is
complete as a percentage.
There are six charging regimes built into the TS1340+. For Lead cid (Pb) there are two,
constant current and constant voltage. For Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) there are four, 0.1C charge,
0.2C charge, Two-step charge and Three-step charge. ll these charging regimes are discussed
later in the document. For all capacity tests and charge regimes the reason for the test being
terminated is reported on the display.
The TS1340+ has a Top Hat capability built into the unit. This is currently not available and will
appear in later revisions.
The TS1340+ contains the software that will allow it to be calibrated by the operator in the field.
The equipment needed is a good 24V battery, an ammeter capable of reading up to 40 (or a
shunt and milli-voltmeter combination) and a voltmeter capable of reading up to 30V. The re-
calibration process only takes a few minutes and this is done without the need to access the
internals of the TS1340+.
The TS1340+ has been designed in such a manner that the software can execute some
preliminary fault finding tasks in order to track down the source of a fault in the event of
breakdown.
Inbuilt into the TS1340+ is the ability to provide a hard copy of library lists and results of charge
and test operations. This is achieved by connected a standard SCII compatible serial printer to
the relevant connector on the TS1340+.

3 Battery Charger Analyser TS1340+ Overview
3.1 Battery Room Specifics
This manual deals only with the scope of use of the equipment and does not cover battery
room specifics such as handling, filling, fume extraction etc. These items will be covered in
other relevant documentation.
For all methods of use of the battery charger the battery to be tested or charged must
only be connected when the charger is either:
a) Not powered up, or
b) Powered up and not executing a charge or test function.
The battery SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED from the
TS1340+ when a charge or test is in progress. Doing so would damage the equipment,
and possible draw an electrical arc that, may cause an explosion from the venting gases
being emitted from the battery. Care must also be executed in ensuring that the bared
ends of the battery leads do not come in contact with the metalwork of the charger as this
may also cause electrical arcing and or explosion risk.
3.2 General Operation
When power is applied to the TS1340+, it will perform some internal self-tests and the
following display will be shown:
* * * * T S 1 3 4 0 + * * * * * I s s u e 2 1 7 . 0 2 . 2 0 0 3
P e r f o r m i n g S e l f T e s t . . P l e a s e W a i t .
Once internal test are complete, (this takes only two to three seconds) the following main
screen will be shown:

5 Battery Discharge Operation
The modes of operation are the same for both lead acid and alkaline batteries, so discharge
parameters entered are the same for both types. Therefore the references in this section will be
made to refer to either type.
5.1 Parameters Required
The TS1340+ requires three basic parameters to be entered for this function.
a) Test Trip Voltage.
The test trip voltage is important and must be entered on custom library data
because the TS1340+ uses this to define the point at which the battery has reached
it's set discharged point
b) Test discharge current.
During the period of discharge the TS1340+ will regulate the current drawn from the
battery at this level, regardless of terminal voltage.
c) Test time.
The maximum time that the test must perform, before being terminated.
5.2 Test Operation
The test is performed by discharging the battery by the current set in (b), for a maximum
time set in (c).
If a battery achieves this target it is considered to be 100% or more efficient.
If the battery terminal voltage falls to (a), then the TS1340+ will terminate the process
and report the capacity as a percentage of elapsed time.
It is important that when entering custom library entries that the manufacturers
recommendations are referred to for capacity test parameters.
s a general guide it is usual to have typically the ampere/hour rating of the battery as the
discharge current and the time set to one hour. The termination voltage us set to typically
20V for a 24V battery.
Example:
For a 24V 44 /H battery the following parameters would set.
Trip Voltage 20 Volt
Discharge Current 44 mpere
Time 1 Hour
If the battery under test fails with by falling to the trip voltage after 55 minutes then it's

6 Battery Charge Operation
6.1 Lead Acid Constant Voltage Charge
6.1.1 Parameters Required
a) Target constant voltage.
This is the constant voltage target value that the charger will maintain during
the charge cycle.
b) Maximum charge current.
This value of current is the maximum current that he charger will charge the
battery at before it achieves it's constant voltage mode.
c) Duration of complete charge.
This time is the maximum time that the charger is to charge the battery before
termination.
d) Minimum charge current.
Sets the value of current that when reached terminates the charge process.
This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.
e) Current threshold.
This sets a safety point that once the charger has reached it's maximum
current: the current would normally fall. If the charge current then proceeds to
rise to a value greater than this setting then the charge process is terminates,
indicating that there is a potential problem with the battery.
This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.
f) Current to potential changeover time.
If the target voltage has not been reached within this time then the charge
process is terminated indicating a battery fault.
This value is optional and should be set to zero if not required.

6.2 Lead Acid Constant Current Charge
6.2.1 Parameters Required
a) Battery Nominal Voltage.
This is the normal nominal voltage of the battery to be charged.
b) Battery charge current.
This is constant current required to charge the battery.
c) Battery overcharge voltage.
This is the overcharge voltage of the battery.
6.2.2 Charge Operation
t the start of charge the charger will monitor the open circuit voltage of the battery
before starting. It will use this value to calculate the approximate duration of the
constant current charge.
This is based on the following algorithm: -
DUR TION = -(OCV-(NOMIN L+(NOMIN L * 0.075)))*(199.2 / NOMIN L)
Where:
DUR TION: LENGTH OF CH RGE IN HOURS
OCV: B TTERY OPEN CIRCUIT VOLT GE
NOMIN L:B TTERY NOMIN L VOLT GE
This algorithm has been derived from the specifics of MINISTRY OF DEFENCE -
IRCR FT B TTERIES GENER L ND TECHNIC L INFORM TION P113c-0001-1 3rd
edition.
The following table illustrates the source of data that was used to derive the
algorithm.
Typical charge rates are:
Battery Capacity Constant Current Charge Rate
40 H 3.0
25 H 2.0
18 H 1.4
Typical Charge Times would be:

6.3 Alkaline 0.1c & 0.2c Charge
6.3.1 Parameters Required
a) Overcharge Voltage
This voltage is the setting, which defines when the battery has reached an
overcharged state.
b) Target Voltage
This voltage is the charge voltage aimed for.
c) Charge Current
This is usually one tenth for 0.1C or one fifth for 0.2C of the battery capacity,
i.e. for a 44 /H battery this would be set to 4.4 or 8.8 respectively
d) dditional Charge Time
This time defines the additional charge time upon the target voltage being
achieved.

6.3.2 Charge Operation
The TS1340+ will charge the battery at the current defined in (c) until the
target voltage (b) is reached, at which time it will then continue to charge the
battery at the current (c) until the additional time (d) has passed at which time
the charge will stop. If during the additional time (d) the battery terminal
voltage reached the overcharge voltage (a) then the charge will stop.
Note if the target voltage is not attained within 24 Hours the charger will stop
the process with a "time greater than 24H" warning.
