Primepower Robust series chargers uses modern switching technology. The
intelligent microcontroller extends the life of the battery by supervising the
charging process. The charger are compact, silent and meets the EU safety
and EMC requirements.
Protection class against water & dirt is IP54.
IP65 version is available
General
Chargers are available for a variety of battery types.
The charger type and charging algorithm should correspond to the battery
(sealed, vented, etc.). Attempting to charge a battery with the wrong type of
charger may result in considerable damage.
Find “Editing charging configuration paragraph” and ”Operations”.
Check the battery to ascertain that the “five hour capacity” (in ampere-hours,
Ah5 or Ah@5h) is between 5 and 14 times greater than the nominal current
(in amperes) of the charger. E.g. a 10A charger is suitable for charging
batteries with a 5-hour capacity of 50Ah-140Ah.

Installation and Warnings
The following points must be respected when choosing a location for the
charger.
1. In fixed installation the operation temperature range is -35°C to +55°.
Higher than +40° ambient temperature will limit the output power.
Caution: Mains cord & battery cable "indoor use" min temperature +5ºC. Do not bend in
cold environment.
2.The charger is to be installed vertically on a concrete or other non-
combustible surface only. For unplugging the unit, make sure the wall
socket is located in an easy access area.
3.To ensure sufficient ventilation, leave a free space of at least 10 cm around
all sides and 30 cm top and bottom of the charger. Do not cover the unit.
4.The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas. Install the
charger as far away from the battery as possible to prevent hydrogen gases
from entering the charger. Keep the area well ventilated. Never use an open
flame or equipment that produces sparks close to the battery and charger.
5.Charger is to be installed vertically to a wall like shown in the next figures

Operations
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the charger for the
first time. Also read the safety instructions in the next paragraph thoroughly.
It must be ensured that children do not play with the device.
To charge a battery with ”Robust series” charger, follow these instructions:
Charger is configured with factory default settings. The factory default
setting is 12 cells algorithm LK10-06 freely ventilated, capacity 50 Ah.
Find “Editing charging configuration paragraph page 8”.
1.Ensure that the charger is unplugged and that the installation environment
meets the conditions described in the previous paragraph.
Warning: Explosive gases. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide
adequate ventilation during charging.
2.Connect the charger cables to the battery terminals: the positive (+) cable
to the positive (+) terminal and the negative (–) cable to the negative (–)
terminal. The positive cable is red colored. The negative cable is black or
blue.
3.Turn the power on by plugging the power cord in a mains outlet with
protective earth.
4. Charging starts automatically.
STOP
Pressing STOP will PAUSE charging. Pressing STOP again resumes
charging.
F1 and F2
F1 and F2 buttons can be assigned the various functionality. By default no
function is assigned. Pressing buttons while charging process does not
have any effect to charging. Buttons are used when battery settings will be
programmed. More details in section “Editing charging configuration”.
5.To avoid sparking in output cables, press STOP button before
disconnecting battery.

Lights and push buttons
Chargers front label should look following.
Main is connected.
Radio module is ON.
Charger can be assembled with optional radio module. Module allows access
to configuration and history log of the charger.

Safety Instructions
In addition to the safety measures mentioned under ‘Operations’ (page 5), the
following personal precautions should be taken whenever charging batteries.
1. For emergency situations ensure in advance that help is available in time
of need.
2. Batteries contain acid that is harmful to the eyes, skin and clothes. Always
wear overalls and safety goggles. Never touch the eyes with unwashed
hands after handling batteries.
3. Ensure that a working, fresh water tap is available. If acid gets intothe eyes
or on the skin, immediately rinse the area with plenty of water for several
minutes. If visible injury occurs, contact a physician immediately. In case
of eye injuries, always contact a physician.
4. The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or
otherwise bring burning or sparking matter to the vicinity of the battery
when it is being charged.
5. If a short circuit occurs, the battery may explode or the item causing the
short circuit may melt. Keep the work area clear from tools and debris.
Remove jewelry, watches etcetera before working with the battery.
6. The power cord should be unplugged and the battery must be
disconnected from the charger in case the equipment is left unused for a
longer period of time.
7. The charger must locate away from heat sources like radiators and heat
registers.
8. This device is not meant to be used by children or people whose physical,
sensory or mental attributes or lack of experience and knowledge prevent
them from using the device safely unless a person responsible for their
safety supervises them or has instructed them how to use the device.

Trouble–shooting and repair
If the cause of malfunction cannot be found, contact your retailer or the
manufacturer. Only authorized persons can repair the charger.
Guarantee
The charger has a guarantee of two years from the date of purchase.
Guarantee covers manufacturing and component failures and is valid only if
the equipment is installed and used according to the instructions in this
manual.
Keep the receipt as evidence of the date of purchase.
Editing charging configuration
1.Disconnect battery.
2.Connect mains power.
3.As soon as blue LED is lit, press STOP for 10 s. LED's should flash shortly.
Release STOP. Special configuration mode has been entered.
4.To scroll down the list, press STOP.
5.To set item on/off, press F1. List of items are in table below.
6. After configuration has been set, disconnect mains power.

Following table equals with program version 11613002v02. Check the program
version from the charger labels! Bold text in coloured areas indicates LED
“ON”.
