1. Introduction
KOP 3 battery chargers are modern fully automatic devices suitable not only for2 00
charging but also for maintaining and monitoring the batteries. The charger stores
data about charging times and Ah charged. This data may be accessed for further
analysis. The device is protected against reverse polarity and short circuit, has
adjustable time limitations for every charging phase, battery temperature
monitoring and compensation and current reduction at elevated ambient
temperatures.
Your battery charger was programmed for a specific battery type .by your dealer
Make sure the charging profile suits your battery type. To change the charging
profile for a specific battery type, parameters can only be programmed with a PC
software package and a programming interface. The programming parameters
allow the charger's profile to suit the battery type. Up to five charging phases can be
programmed with separate values for charging voltages, currents, charging times,
temperature compensation and other control functions. Please contact your dealer
for further information.
When programming the charging profile always follow the battery manufacturer's
recommendations.
Please read the operating and safety instruction carefully
before using or installing the KOP2300 battery charger!
2. Start of the charging process
Establish a safe connection between the battery and the charger first. Then plug the
mains connector. When removing the connection, remove the mains plug from the
mains first, before disconnecting the battery.
The charger type is shown first after the charger has been connected to the mains
and then the measured values as the battery voltage – see the following page.
The charging time depends on battery size and state of charge. If the battery was
only slightly loaded, then the charging process will complete faster. At high ambient
temperatures or when exposed to strong sunlight, the charging current is reduced
and the charging time increased accordingly.
The charger can remain connected to the battery permanently. The current
consumption is less than 0. mA.from the battery 2
