Battery Charger RE User's Manual BURN AND BODILY INJURY PREVENTION The battery produces very high currents when short circuited, and will burn the skin severely if in contact with any metal conductor that is carrying this current. Do not permit rings on fingers to come in contact with battery terminals or the cell connectors on top of the battery. Battery acid is very corrosive. Alwais wear correct eye and body protection when near batteries.
Battery Charger RE User's Manual 3. Description Energic plus RE battery chargers have been designed to charge Pb batteries. These units convert the AC input voltage to a DC voltage at the correct level, in order to charge the battery cells. These battery chargers are fully automatic, and they are controlled by a microprocessor based electronic board.
Battery Charger RE User's Manual 4. Installation The charger is marked with a technical label, containing the following data: • • • • • • • • • Model; Serial number (S/N); Weight (kg); Input voltages (V); Maximum input current (A); Maximum input power (KVA); Input frequency (Hz); Battery voltage (V); Maximum output current (A).
Battery Charger RE User's Manual CAUTION ! To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. CAUTION ! Allow adeguate air circolation to prevent internal heat buildup. Do not place the unit near materials that may block the ventilation slots. Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

Battery Charger RE User's Manual 5.
Battery Charger RE User's Manual START OF CHARGE The charger turns on automatically when the battery is correctly connected, with a delay of 5 seconds, in order to avoid sparks between the connectiors. If the main supply is not present, all the control LEDs (except the “BATTERY CONNECTION” LED) blink alternately. CHARGE CYCLE The current of charge follows the Wa curve. During the first charge period, while the battery voltage is below the gassing value, the LED “CHARGE ON” blinks continuously.
Battery Charger RE User's Manual 6.
Battery Charger RE User's Manual • STOP-100% (EQUALIZING): At the end of the charge, this LED blinks. At the end the equalization, it remains on. • EMERGENCY STOP: if the charge continues after the maximum time allowed, the charger turns off automatically and this LED remains on. • LED AMMETER: the ammeter gives an indication of the charge current. The indication of the LED ammeter is in percent of the rated output current (see data label on box).
