Piktronik KOP302 User manual

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY!
Whenever you are handling or working with a lead-acid battery, consult your battery
owners’ manual for instructions and safety precautions.
COOLING FAN Do not cover the cooling fan openings in order to ensure
enough cooling flow. Otherwise the charging current will
drop and the charging time will increase proportionally.
BATTERY TYPE Use the charger for the defined battery type only,
according to the parameters). If the charging profile does
not suit the battery type, the battery will not be charged
properly and the life time of the battery may be shortened.
GAS Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen-oxygen gases which
can be explosive and sulfuric acid that can cause severe
burns. Make sure working area is well-ventilated.
Cigarettes or any open fires or sparks may cause an
explosion. Keep all ignition sources away from the battery.
ACID Battery acid can severely damage your eyes and skin. In
event of accident, flush with water and seek medical help
immediately. Use proper personal protective devices when
handling a damaged or leaking battery. Treat material used
to clean up a battery acid spill as hazardous waste.
TOXIC
SUBSTANCES
Batteries contain hazardous materials. Among others lead
and antimony are toxic substances. Waste lead-acid
batteries are hazardous waste and must be treated
according to the Battery Disposal Regulations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Charger KOP302
KOP302 battery chargers are modern fully automatic devices suitable not only for
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 charger may be used as a stationary device or can be installed and operated in the
vehicles. The charger should be mounted horizontally. Any drilled holes or any
mechanical changes of the housing may damage the charger.
Your KOP battery charger was factory programmed for a specific battery type. Make
sure the charging profile suits your battery type. To change the charging profile for a
specific battery type, parameters may 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. The charging
voltages, currents, charging times, temperature compensation and other control
functions can be programmed. Please contact your dealer for further information.
When programming the charging profile always follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions regarding voltages, currents and charging times.
Re d the oper ting instructions c refully before using the KOP B ttery ch rger.
Note: Please note, that new batteries reach the maximum capacity after multiple
charging cycles have been completed successfully. Old batteries often don‘t reach the
full capacity. This can cause the charging process not to end properly example:
maximum charging time overflow).

TO START THE CHARGING PROCESS
Establish a safe connection between the battery and the charger first. Then plug the
mains connector. This sequence must always be followed in this order. When
removing the connection, remove the mains plug from the mains first before
disconnecting the battery circuit.
After connecting the battery, the red LED error LED) flashes several times and then
remains OFF. When the charging process starts, the yellow LED comes ON also a
click from the relay in the charger can be heard and the cooling fan starts to
operate).
Indic tion LED p ttern:
Yellow LED ON: Main charge phase with maximum charging current
Yellow LED fl shes slowly: Constant voltage charging phase about 80% charged)
Green LED ON: Battery 100% charged
NOTE: Function of the yellow LED charging is programmable together with other
charging parameters. Description above shows the usual setting.
If local standards or regulations allow it, the battery may be permanently connected
to the charger. The cooling fan is temperature controlled and operates at different
speeds. The charging time depends on the battery capacity. If the battery has been
partly discharged, the charging process will finish sooner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the manual thoroughly.
The charger must be used with the original cables only. Do not change, shorten,
extend or short circuit the cables.
Remove the mains plug from the mains first before braking the battery circuit.
Only rechargeable batteries can be used. Do not connect any non-rechargeable
batteries like dry-cell batteries) to the charger.
The charger may be used for the correct battery type only.
Do not install the charger inside motor-homes, campers or caravans.
Check the charger for cable, housing and connector damages before use. Do not
operate the charger when damaged. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not expose the charger to rain, moisture, direct sunlight or dust.
Always disconnect mains after charging and generally when the device is not in
use. During the trickle charge the charger remains attached to the mains.
Always disconnect the mains during a thunderstorm.
ERRORS
