INTRODUCTION
The voltages mentioned in this user manual are based on a 12V system. The voltages
must be multiplied as follows: x2 for 24 Volt, x3 for 36 Volt and x4 for 48Volt.
On the last pages you will find the technical specifications of the Promax 200.
The Promax 200 is a fully automatic battery charger and floatcharger in one and can be
left connected to the mains power supply keeping the battery in a good condition. The
microprocessor measures and checks the battery and charge process continuously, wich
results in a very safe and reliable charging process.
The ProMax contains different charging programs. By means of the ‘mode’ button on the
front the charger the charging program is set easily. This way the charger can be
adjusted optimally for each battery type and specific application.
You can use multiple powersources, like solar panels or a dynamo, together with the
ProMax 200.
Important
Don’t connect devices directly to the connection terminals on the battery charger.
FEATURES
The ProMax 200 contains a wide variety of features and protections to promote the
usability and of course also to ensure that the charge process progresses extremely safe.
Reverse polarisation
Reverse polarisation means that the plus and minus connection wires are inadvertently
reversed on the battery or on the charger. Reverse polarisation is indicated by an error
indication. Disconnect, and connect the battery and the charger properly.
Short circuit (output)
The charger is protected from short circuit when no battery is connected, even in the
presence of the mains voltage.
Batteries on the other hand cannot withstand short circuit!
You should for this reason never short circuit the battery. Never short circuit when the
charger is connected to the battery, irrespective of whether the mains voltage is present.
When a battery is short circuited there is a danger that it will explode!!! The charger too
will then incur serious damage.
Output voltage
The charger can only be activated if a battery has been connected to it. Without the
presence of a battery no voltage readings will be measured.
Input voltage
The input of the charger is protected by means of a fuse. If the fuse needs to be
replaced, a fuse with the same value must always be used for the replacement.
Current limitation
The charger incorporates a current limitation feature.
