NOTE| 1.  Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
2.  All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
3.  This is MEAN WELL’s suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
4.  Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
5.  PV/PC functions when users are not operating on PM Bus/CAN Bus. SVR functions when users are neither operating on PMBus/CAN Bus nor using PV/PC.
6.  The charger is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on
a 720mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on http://www.meanwell.com)
7.  The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with finless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
8.  When charging lead acid battery or battery without BMS, use breaker to disconnect charger and battery after fully charged.

  1. PM Bus Communication Interface
    ※ RCB-1600 supports PM Bus Rev. 1.1 with maximum 100KHz bus speed, allowing information reading, status monitoring, output rimming, etc. For detals, please refer to the Installation Manual.

  2. Charging Curve
    ※ By factory default, this charger performs the default curve which can be programmed via PM Bus and CANBUs.
    ※ To disable/ enable the charging curve, change to a 2 stage curve, a different curve frequently used for certain types of batteries n the industry, switch toPM Bus, CAN Bus, PV/PC or SVR control instead and so on, please refer to the Installation Manual.
    ※ To program the parameters of the charging curve, SBP-001, the smart battery charging programmer designed by MEAN WELL, and a personal computer are needed. Please contact MEAN WELL for details.

※ LED Status Indicators

LED Description
Green Float (stage 3)
Orange Charging (stage 1 or stage 2)
Red The LED will present a constant red light when the abnormal status (OTP,

OLP, fan fail and charging timeout) arises.
Red (Flashing)| The LED will flash with the red light when the internal temperature reaches 60℃; under this condition, the unit still operates normally without entering OTP. (In the meantime, an alarm signal will be sent out through the PMBus interface.)
