PBC110 4 Scope of delivery Scope of delivery Quantity Description Quantity 1 Battery charger PBC110 1 1 Operation Manual 1 5 Technical description The battery charger may be placed on the ground or be mounted with four screws to the wall. It is equipped with heavy-duty cables, corrosion-resistant output connectors and spark-free contacts. It is passively cooled to allow for noise-free operation. 5.
Technical description PBC110 When the battery is connected and AC power is on, the charger will automatically diagnose the battery condition and determine if the battery should engage soft start charging or go directly into bulk charging. Stage Charging rate indicator Soft start charging 20 % The battery voltage will increase slowly. When it reaches 10.5 V, the charger goes into bulk charging. If the battery voltage cannot reach 10.5 V within two hours, a battery fault is signalled.
PBC110 Technical description 5.3 ECO mode If AC power is connected when no battery is connected, the battery charger goes automatically into ECO mode to minimize power consumption. 5.4 Parts and connections 1 2 1 4 3 No. in fig.

Charging 6.2 PBC110 Charge rate The following maximum capacities are to be used as a general guide: Setting Battery capacity/Charging Battery capacity/Maintaining 2A 6 – 20 Ah 6 – 20 Ah 5A 21 – 50 Ah 21 – 60 Ah 10 A 51 – 200 Ah 61 – 240 Ah 6.3 Settings ➤ Using the battery type selector (4) choose the battery type to be used, see fig. 2, page 10. ➤ Using the charge rate selector (5) choose the charge rate to be used, see fig. 2, page 10. 7 Charging 7.
PBC110 Charging Battery outside the vehicle ➤ Connect the red clip of the battery charger to the positive battery terminal (+). ➤ Connect the black clip of the battery charger to the negative battery terminal (-). Battery in the vehicle ➤ Determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed. If negatively earthed (most common): ➤ First connect the red clip of the battery charger to the positive battery terminal (+).
Maintaining and cleaning PBC110 ➤ Check electrolyte levels if required by your battery type. ➤ If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines. Battery in the vehicle ➤ Switch OFF and remove the AC power socket from the outlet. ➤ First remove the clip from the vehicle chassis. ➤ Then remove the clip from the battery. ➤ Check electrolyte levels if possible.
PBC110 9 Trouble shooting Trouble shooting Indication Possible causes Remedy • Charger does not work • No AC power • Check AC connections and make sure mains socket is switched ON. • Charger has no DC output • Output is short circuited • Fault LED lights red • Reverse polarity connection to battery • Check DC connection between charger and battery and make sure they are not short circuiting.
