User manual KUSSMAUL 091-127

[. . . ] Of rugged construction, the charger is made to withstand the shock and vibration encountered in vehicle mounted equipment. Utilizing components, which meet international safety standards, makes this charger ideal for worldwide applications. BATTERY CHARGER FEATURES Completely automatic operation, charges battery on demand Output Voltage regulated, eliminates overcharging battery Output Voltage, temperature compensated (Option) Output, current limited to protect charger from overloading A 5-LED display indicating charge state and faults Reverse polarity protection Under voltage signaling (Option) Selectable HIGH/LOW Output Current (Optionl) Refer to Specifications section of this manual to incorporate "Options" in Model Number Composition. INSTALLATION The 3 STEP CHARGER should be installed in an area with adequate ventilation. [. . . ] When the charger switches to finish charge, a timer starts. In the event that the charge current did not taper down to approximately C/35 amperes after 2 ½ hours, the charger will automatically go to float charge, and a time-out will be indicated. This time-out indicator can indicate an old or leaky battery, or it can indicate that the charger is undersized for the battery being charged. A battery fault indicator is provided to indicate the absence of a battery, a battery connected with reverse polarity, or a battery with an open circuit terminal voltage of less than 1. 35 volts per cell. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Temperature compensation is provided as an optional feature. A temperature probe is provided which can be placed in the air surrounding the battery or bonded to the battery case. SELECTABLE OUTPUT CURRENT Selectable output current level is provided as an optional feature. It is normally supplied as a current output level "HIGH" and "LOW" front panel switch selectable setting. Unless otherwise specified the "HIGH" current setting refers to unit maximum output currrent as specified in Specifications section of this manual. The "LOW" current setting is 40% +/- 5% of the maximum current ouput. Consult factory for additional information on this option. UNDER VOLTAGE Under Voltage signaling is provided as an optional feature. It is supplied as relay contact closures internal to the charger in accordance with the following specifications. Interface Voltage and Current Rating: per NEMA Classification for AWG 18 wire and Customer Interface distance. Consult Factory for Under Voltage "Set-Point" threshold and signal hysteresis characteristics for Under Voltage signaling equipped models. [. . . ] are warranted to be free of defects of material or workmanship. Liability is limited to repairing or replacing at our factory, without charge, any material or defects which become apparent in normal use within 3 years from the date the equipment was shipped.
