SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE! The hazard of electrical shock, fire or death.
• Read the operating instructions carefully before using the O-board Charger H100.
• Do not put your fingers in the O-board Charger H100’s plug-in socket holes or any other
hole in the device.
• Do not use the O-board Charger H100 if the supply cable is damaged, has damaged insu-
lation or shows signs of improper use.
• Do not use the O-board Charger H100 if the aircraft’s charging plug-in socket is damaged
• Do not use the O-board Charger H100 if it is damaged in any way. Consult technical sup-
port at
• The O-board Charger H100 must be used with grounded electrical networks.
• If you are not sure whether it is safe to use the O-board Charger H100, immediately dis-
connect the O-board Charger H100 from the network power supply and contact technical
support at
Do not use the O-board Charger H100 until the issue is positively identified and resolved.
• The O-board Charger H100 is only intended for use with Pipistrel electric aircraft.
CAUTION! A potentially hazardous situation which could lead to equipment
damage or injury.
• Always position the supply cable so that it’s not in the way of vehicles or people passing
by. Avoid situations that could lead to cable damage, while the O-board Charger H100 is
in use.
• When charging is complete always remove and secure the cable to prevent injury to your-
self and others.
NOTE: Operating tips additional information.
• Use a wet cloth or a cloth soaked in soap and water solution to clean the O-board Charger
H100. Do not use chemical cleaners or solutions. Do not pour water on the O-board Char-
ger H100.

OFF-BOARD CHARGER H100
OFFBOARD CHARGER H100 DESCRIPTION
O-board Charger H100 is a battery charger approved to be used on the ground for charging
Alpha Electro on-board batteries.
The unit’s rack is mounted on wheels for eased mobility and manoeuvrability. A power supply
cable and charging cable are supplied with the unit and stored on support brackets on both
sides of the charger.
The battery charger power supply is provided with connection to AC grid by means of an
IEC60309 plug (one or three phase, see Technical data section for specifications of each
model).

OFF-BOARD CHARGER H100
The L1 phase of the charger is used for powering the 12V auxiliary DC power supply. The 12V DC
power supply is internal to the battery charger and is used for powering of the various charger’s
internal components (charge controller, HMI, contactors, etc...).
All of charger’s functions are controlled and monitored by the charge controller. The charge
controller communicates with the Alpha Electro’s system controller and executes it’s commands.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
O-board Charger H100 has an HMI in form of a 7’’ (inch), capacitive touch screen. The screen is
used to inform the user of the charger’s and aircraft’s charging status, issue a start/stop charge
command, select charging current/mode and monitor the state of the charging process.
*Parameter indicates the amount of energy transferred since the beginning of the current charg-
ing process. It does not represent the total amount of energy in the batteries.

CHARGING INTERFACE
The airplane/charger charging interface consists of a plug-receptable combination, standard-
ized in IEC 62196-2. The charging connector is rated for 500V maximum charging voltage and
up to 64A of continuous charging current.
The charger plug is equipped with an electric locking mechanism, which locks the plug into
the receptable during charging. The same mechanism is also used for locking the plug into the
charger station. This safety feature prevents unintentional disconnects during charging, which
could result in contact arcing and welding.
