1 CARGADOR INTELIGENTE DE BATERÍAS INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER CARREGADOR DE BATERIAS INTELIGENTE 15A RMS (10A DC) SMARTCAR 1500A Adecuado para todo tipo de baterías de plomo ácido entre 20-200Ah Suitable for 12V Normal Lead Acid batteries with capacity between 20-200Ah Adequado para todo o tipo de baterias de chumbo/àcido entre 20-200Ah 8 NFC 1500 intelligent battery charger with 12-bit AD microprocessor. � Charges with 12V, 10/6/2 a dc (15/9/3 a RMS) � Self-identifying multi-stage characteristics charging curve READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Soft start tests the battery condition. Severely discharged batteries need the soft start step. The charging starts with a reduced current until the voltage reaches 10V. Bulk is the main step where most of the charge is returned (60-80%). The charger delivers maximum current until the terminal voltage has risen to the set level of 14,2V for Normal battery selection and 14.0V for Gel battery selection. Absorption completes the charge up to virtually 100% at a constant voltage. The current tapers off after the current reached the minimum level. Float is maintenance charge at constant voltage, keeping the batteries at 100% charge. Normal charging mode is time-limited (max. 10 days) while Supply mode goes on indefinite without damaging the battery. SPECIAL FEATURES Temperature Control Fan To protect the charger from overheating, a fan is included for heat dispensation. Also to increase the life span of the fan, a sensor will control the on off the fan, where the fan will not use when the HFC is not in a hot condition. Temperature Compensation A sensor will automatically adjust the charging voltage if the temperature deviates between -20ºC to +50ºC. At a high temperature environment the unit lowered the output voltage and at a freezing condition, the unit will adjust a higher output voltage. Voltage compensation Because of some voltage drop in the cables, the actual voltage at the clamps of the battery can be lower than the charger output voltage. A special circuitry inside the unit will monitor the true input voltage to the battery and adjust the output voltage of the unit accordingly. This will maximize the charging efficiency. Buzzer Warning A built in buzzer will help to warn the user when connect the clamps to the battery wrongly. Display � Reverse Polarity – Reverse Polarity Connection to Battery Pole. � Battery Fault – Faulty Battery Indicator � Charging – While Battery is charging. � Full Charge – When Battery is Fully Charged and in Maintenance Mode. � 3 x 7 Segment LED’s Display for Charging Current, Battery Voltage, & Charging %. Cable Management The NFC Series casing is designed with AC and DC cables storage comportment. This will help to avoid cable damage and subsequently any possible danger to user. INTRODUCTION 9 PROTECTIONS � Full protections against sparks � Short circuit protection � Voltaje compensation � Overheating protection � Polarity reversal protection GASES When the NORMAL/LEAD ACID battery is being charged you may notice bubbling in the fluid caused by the release of gas. As the gas is flammable no naked lights should be used around the battery. During charging the battery, the charging must be places at a well ventilated area. Because of the risk of explosive gas, only connect, and disconnect, the battery leads when the mains supply is disconnected. Types of Batteries This charger is only suitable for the specified batteries and should not be used to recharge non-rechargeable, NICAD or any other type of battery. Point of Notes When not in use, the battery charger must be kept at a dry area to avoid moisture. Keep away from any liquid, rain or snow at all times. This battery charger is not designed as a caravan lead acid battery charger or power supply. This battery charger is not designed for installation on to the vehicle as a fixture. Danger Avoid getting ELECTROLYTE on you skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause burns. If this occurs you shall rinse the affected area with water immediately. Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring battery into a warm area to allow battery to thaw before you begin charging. Never set a battery on top of charger or vice versa. Do not touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on. Never operate charger if it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair. Be sure to position the charger power cord to prevent it from being stepped on, tripped over, or damaged. Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to the cord or the plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. If the battery needs to be removed from the vehicle before charging, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first, also ensure that all accessories in the vehicle are tuned off to prevent arcing. Ensure that the surrounding area is well ventilated to allow dispersal of toxic fumes or gases. Ensure the battery terminals are clean. If the battery has a removable vent cap, top up each battery cell with distilled water to the level recommended by the battery manufacturer, do not overfill.
