1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Victron energy Victron Energy has established an international reputation as a leading designer and manufacturer of power systems. Our R&D department is the driving force behind this reputation. This department is continually seeking new ways of incorporating the latest technology in our products. A Victron Energy power system can supply high-quality energy at places where there is no permanent mains power source available.
There is a dangerous voltage present on some of the metal parts inside the battery charger. The battery charger is NOT protected against reverse battery polarity. ("+" connected to "-" and "-" connected to "+"). Follow the installation procedure. The warranty expires when the battery charger becomes defective due to reverse battery polarity. The on/off switch at the front of the cabinet does not switch off the mains supply.
2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 The Titan battery charger The Titan battery charger is a fully automatic charger for 12V, 24V or 48V batteries and is powered by a mains voltage of 230Vac, 50Hz or 110Vac, 50 Hz for the Skylla-Tg 24/30 110V. It charges the battery according to the IUoUo characteristic, which is a 3-stage charging characteristic. This characteristic is shown in illustration 1.
The Titan charger can remain connected to the battery continuously, without gas formation taking place, caused by overcharging. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery from the charger during long time storage, for example during the winter storage of a ship. The Titan charger will keep your battery in optimum condition under all circumstances and will prolong the lifetime of your battery. A parallel load connected to the battery can cause a voltage drop.
2.3 Protection The battery charger is safe to use due to its robust design and its internal electronic protection. This chapter describes the various internal electronic protective devices. Maximum charge current protection The battery charger provides a maximum charge current of 30A for the 30A models or 50A for the 50 A models. This level is electronically limited and is factory set. The maximum output current can also be limited by using an external potentiometerpanel, the Victron Energy COV panel.
Temperature protection The internal temperature of the charger is measured continuously. However, due to a high ambient temperature outside the cabinet the temperature within the battery charger can rise. When the external temperature of the battery charger becomes higher than 40°C, the output current decreases and the Failure led flashes. Before the internal temperature becomes too high due to extreme conditions the charger switches off and the Failure led illuminates continuously.
3. DIRECTIONS FOR USE 3.1 Installation Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Titan charger and battery. Keep the distance between the charger and the battery less than 6 meters. The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Mounting on a wall improves the air circulation within the charger cabinet and will prolong the lifetime of the battery charger.
The Titan is NOT protected against reverse battery polarity. ("+" connected to "-" and "-" connected to "+"). Follow the installation procedure. The warranty expires when the Titan becomes defective due to reverse polarity. . Disconnect the mains supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery. The on/off switch at the front of the cabinet does not switch off the mains supply. The battery connection sequence Check if the charger is switched off and if the mains supply is disconnected.
Connecting the starter battery The starter battery has to be connected using wire with a core of at least 1.5 mm2. Connect the positive (+) battery-pole to the right side of the starter battery connector, see illustration 3. Connect the negative (-) battery-pole to the left side of the starter battery connector, see illustration 3. Connecting the mains Check if the battery is already connected to the charger. Remove the front of the battery charger to access the AC input connector.
illustration 4b Connecting the 3phase mains Check if the battery is already connected to the charger. Remove the front of the battery charger to access the AC input connector. Connect the mains PE cable (green/yellow) to the AC input connector located next to the Magnetic Circuit Breaker, see illustration 4b. Connect the 3 mains line cables to the Magnetic Circuit Breaker. Plug the mains cable into the mains socket. Make sure that the mains socket is connected to earth.
3.2 OPERATION Located on the front of the Titan charger are an on/off switch and three rows of LED’s, as shown in illustration 5. The battery charger can be switched on and off with the on/off switch. The “output voltage” LED’s indicate the output voltage value. The “output current” LED’s indicate the output current value. The other LED’s indicates the state of the charger. Illustration 5. Example of the battery charger front panel.
After the batteries are charged the Titan charger does not have to be switched off and the batteries can stay connected to the battery charger. 3.3 Maintenance The Titan charger does not require any specific maintenance. However an annual check of the battery connections is recommended. Keep the charger dry, clean and free of dust. If any problems arise, use the fault finding procedure to trace the fault, see chapter 5.
4. OPTIONS The Titan charger is factory set to standard values. Some of these standard values can be changed by a qualified electrical technician into customised values. This chapter describes which values can be changed and how to change them. The cover of the Titan may only be removed by a qualified technician. Before obtaining access to the Titan the mains supply circuit must be disconnected. There is a dangerous voltage present on some of the metal parts inside the battery charger.
4.1 Permanent boost-charge In some cases, for example when the battery is almost empty, it is recommended to permanent boost-charge the battery for 10 hours. Do not permanently boost-charge sealed lead-acid batteries. Contact your Victron Energy dealer or battery dealer for more information on charging the battery. To set the charger into the permanent boost-charge mode: Place the DIP switch number 8 “R boost” to the left. In this mode the battery is being charged to the boost voltage.
To change the boost-voltage: Place DIP-switch 7 “Eq2” to the right and place DIP-switch 8 “R boost” to the left. The charger switches into the boost-charge mode. Place DIP-switch 4 “fine” to the left position in order to accurately adjust the output voltage. Measure the boost-voltage on the charger output by using a precision voltage meter. Adjust the boost-voltage by turning the “V boost” potentiometer until the recommended voltage is reached. Replace DIP-switch 8 “R boost” to the right.
4.5 Traction battery compensation If a Traction-battery is connected to the Titan charger the charge voltages have to be changed. The output voltage has to be raised to correctly charge the traction-battery. See the technical specifications for the traction charging voltages. To set the charger into the traction mode: Place DIP-switch 3 “trac” to the left. 4.6 Use as a power-supply The Titan charger can be used as a power supply without the obligation to connect a battery to the charger output.
4.8 Charging batteries with voltage sensing Do not use the voltage-sense facility in combination with the diodesplitter compensation as this will raise the output voltage. When high current runs trough a thin cable between the charger and the battery there will be a voltage loss in the cables. The charging voltage measured at the battery poles will be lower than the specified voltage and this will result in a longer charging time. However, the charger is equipped with a voltage-sense facility.
When dip switch 2 “Watch” is positioned on the right, it is checked upon startup whether the battery voltage is sufficiently high to enable a start in the float mode. If it is not, the charger is started in the boost mode as yet. 4.10 Connecting the output voltage alarm The charger is equipped with a potential free alarm contact (change over type). If the battery voltage is between Vmin and Vmax the contact is activated. (See figure 8, remote connections: NO, NC, COM). Model 12V 24V 48V 4.
To connect he panel: Disconnect the mains Connect the on led to the “L_ON” connector. Connect the ground of the panel to the “GND” connector. Connect the connection “TG switch” to the “REM” connector. The SKC panel: This panel indicates if the charger is on or off, it indicates the charging mode and it contains an adjustable potentiometer.
4.14 Connecting a voltmeter The remote-connector offers a possibility to connect a voltmeter. It is possible to connect a digital as well as a analogue voltmeter. This output can only be used when the voltagesense is connected. The voltage at this output is equal to the voltage measured at the point where the voltage sense wires are connected. Connecting a voltmeter Disconnect the mains voltage. Make sure that the voltage sense wires are connected, see chapter 4.8.
5. FAULT TRACING When a fault occurs in the battery charger, the following table can be used in order to find the fault. Before the Titan is being checked, make sure that all the devices connected to the battery charger are removed. If the fault can not be solved contact your Victron Energy dealer. Problem Possible cause Solution The charger does not The mains voltage has to be between operate 185Vac and 265 Vac. (For the 24/30 110V, between: 93,5 and 132 Vac). A broken input fuse.
