FONTE Series High Power Supplies
PRESENTATION
The Charging Supplies 36A, S0A, 60A, 70A, 1 00A, 120A, 150A and 200A are high
power power supplies that enable powering and charging automotive battery(s),
providing a maximum current of 36A at the output, respectively, S0A, 60A, 70A,
1 00A, 120A, 1 S0A and 200A and operate in two modes: 14.4V or Auto SCI.
Auto SCI (Intelligent Charging System) function increases the efficiency of
battery charge accumulation, prolonging its useful life.
The 36A, S0A, 60A, 70A, 1 00A, 120A, 150A and 200A Charging Supplies have a
digital display to monitor voltage or current or accumulated charge and
battery level and full charge indicator LEDs.
TYPES OF READINGS
- Voltage: Informs the voltage sent to the system.
- Current: Shows the current consumed by the system.
- Ampere Hour Counter: Informs how much charge has been accumulated by the battery during the charging cycle, with this reading it is possible to know if the battery is in good working order. The counter can be reset by holding the Read key for 5 seconds. When it reaches 999 it must be reset to continue reading the
- accumulated battery charge.
OPERATING MODES
14.4V: Keep the power supply operating with the output voltage at 14.4V.
Auto SCI: Allows the power supply output to operate at 14.4V when the system
requires more power. In fluctuation it operates with the output voltage in
cycles of 13.8V for 5 minutes and 14.4V for 10 seconds. This system prevents
the excessive rise of the potential of the plates, a chemical phenomenon
caused by load stress, which reduces the useful life and efficiency of the
batteries.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Whenever using the sound, charge the batteries until the Source1s charge indicator shows full charge. This means the batteries will be 100% charged. The charging process does not damage the batteries, as when they are fully charged, the Sources go into float mode.
- We advise that when using the sound, turn on the Source immediately. Don1t wait for the batteries to discharge before doing this.
- Use 1 outlet per equipment. Each 36A, S0A, 60A, 70A, 1 00A, 120A, 1 S0A and 200A Power Supply consumes about 480W, 750W, 900W, 11 00W, 1500W, 1800W, 2250W and 3000W from the power grid respectively.
- Use 6mm2 cable at the 36A output, 8mm2 at the S0A output, 1 0mm2 at the 60A output, 25mm2 at the 70A output, 35mm2 at the 1 00A and 120A output, 50mm2 at the 150A output and 70mm2 at the 200A output.
- Do not install in high vibration environments such as speakers.

CONNECTIONS DIAGRAM
Each Source 36A, 50A, 60A, 70A, 1 00A, 120A, 150A and 200A can power about 1800, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4400, 6000, 7000 and 10000 Wrms of sound playing respectively, provided that using a battery in parallel to meet the consumption peaks.
You can use as many sources 36A, 50A, 60A, 70A, 1 00A, 120A, 150A and 200A as
needed to feed the sound, having as a reference that each one maintains about
1800, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4400, 6000, 7000 and 10000 Wrms of sound playing
respectively, it is important to note that for this the operating mode must be
the same for all sources that are in parallel (ex.: All in 14.4V mode or all
in Auto SCI).
Main advantage: With this modular system, you can choose how many devices to
connect and thus adapt it to the capacity of the electrical network. This
situation happens mainly when using local power generators. This way, you will
connect the amount of equipment that the generator can supply.
