REVOLUTION SERIES
The REVOLUTION Series features high charge cycle efficiencies and state-of-the-art
MOSFET soft-switching technology resulting in lower energy costs, smaller sizes, and
lighter weight units. The REVOLUTION chargers maintain the charging efficiency greater
than 90% over the entire charge cycle. This results in true energy savings of 6% or
greater as compared to leading HF chargers. For a typical 36V/850Ahr battery, these
savings will translate into approximately 1.5kWhr per charge cycle. In a typical
application, the savings can be greater than 400kWhr per battery per year.
The REVOLUTION Series is a combination of cutting-edge charging and energy
management technologies, with a smaller footprint, lower acquisition costs, easy
maintenance, and flexible configurations.
The REVOLUTION chargers can support conventional, opportunity, and fast charge
cycles. The REVOLUTION chargers also offer programmability. All charger settings and
features can be easily customized to match workloads and schedules. Finish and equalize
cycles may be programmed to automatically run-on certain days of the week. Additionally,
the REVOLUTION chargers may be tailored to meet the needs of any battery chemistry,
including lithium, flooded, gel, and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), Thin Plate Pure Lead
(TPPL) batteries.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AND OPERATE THE CHARGER, READ THIS
MANUAL CAREFULLY
This manual contains important instructions for the REVOLUTION series product line that
shall be followed during installation and operation of the charger. Only qualified personnel
should install, operate, or service this equipment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
High Voltages. Lethal voltages are present within the charger enclosure whenever the
AC line is energized and/or the battery/load is connected. The heat sinks and other
internal components present the risk of electric shock.
Stored Energy. To avoid the risk of electric shock, wait at least two minutes after de-
energizing the AC line and disconnecting the battery/load before removing the cover.
High Current Levels. Do not touch uninsulated battery connectors or terminals. All
tools should be adequately insulated to avoid the possibility of shorting connections.
Inspect cables often for damage to the insulation. Replace cracked or worn cables
immediately.
Improper Connections. If the charger is incorrectly wired to input or output devices or
wiring is not in accordance with local safety codes and standards, the Revolution
charger and/or its components are at risk of being damaged.
Grounding. The charger must be connected to an AC power supply incorporating an
earth or ground. The grounding conductor must be of a size equal to or larger than the
line (phase) conductors.
Explosive Gases.Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries
generate explosive gases during charge and discharge. To reduce the risk of ignition,
follow these safety instructions as well as those published by the battery manufacturer.
To minimize the potential for arcing and to reduce the risk of damage to the connector
contacts, it is preferable to connect and disconnect a battery when the charger output
is OFF.
WARNING

MAN-000037-00 REV C 3
Chemical Hazard. Working with lead-acid batteries may result in exposure to highly
corrosive acid. To protect eyes and skin, use the required Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)as mandated by your employer and local regulations. At a minimum,
wear safety goggles and skin protection while connecting the battery charger or
working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries.
Follow the battery manufacturer's published instructions when installing,
charging, and servicing batteries.
Use only with rechargeable batteries. Do not attempt to charge other battery types;
doing so may cause equipment damage and result in serious personal injury.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. The charger is NOT designed for
outdoor use.
Adequate Cooling Required. To prevent damage from overheating, proper airflow
must be ensured. Do not restrict fan inlets or exhaust outlets. Do not mount the charger
in a confined space or where the exhaust air will recirculate.
No User Serviceable Parts.If service is required, contact Power Designers Sibex or
its service representative.
These instructions assume a certain level of competence by the installer and/or
user. The following practices and codes contain relevant information, and should be
consulted for safe installation, testing, handling, and maintenance of rechargeable
lead-acid batteries. All applicable state and local codes must be followed.
•National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), ANSI/IEEE C2-2007 (or latest revision).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Charger Installation
The following procedure describes proper installation of the REVOLUTION series of
chargers.
Charger Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt of a REVOLUTION charger, ensure that there is no physical damage to the
chassis, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)/keypad, or the DC cables. If any damage is
apparent, contact the shipping carrier.
Do not install or operate the charger if it has any visible damage.
Preparing for the Installation:
Failure to meet these minimum requirements
may result in a voided warranty.
•Adequate Cooling Required – To prevent damage from overheating, proper
airflow must be ensured. Do not restrict fan inlets or exhaust outlets. Do not mount
the charger in a confined space or where the exhaust air will recirculate.
Continue on page 15 for RV16 Installation Procedure
Continue on page 20 for RV24 Installation Procedure
WARNING

MAN-000037-00 REV C15
RV16 Models Installation
•Mount the charger vertically, observing the minimum spacing shown below:
Figure 2: RV16 NEC minimum spacing
•Ensure that the charging area is well ventilated, dry, and clean.
•Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
The charger is NOT designed for outdoor use.

MAN-000037-00 REV C16
