• N° 1 Anderson connector
• N° 1 IEC power cable extension (not all models)

DESCRIPTION

POWERCHARGERPRO is the professional charger, with charging curve selector and status LED, built with quality electronics, advanced microcontroller and intensive use resistant materials.

POWERCHARGERPRO is suitable for batteries:

• 12V with technology: AGM, Gel, Wet and Lithium (LiFePO4).
• 24V with technology : AGM, Gel, Wet.

‘Three LEDs indicate the device status and it is also possible to realize a remote charging status LED, thanks to the cables that bring out the potential- free contact of a relay.

ARCHITECTURE

POWERCHARGERPRO works with a 230V input current and 12V or 24V output, for the battery or charging system, and (in some models) there is a pair of cables carrying potential-free contact of a relay.

CHARGING CURVE SELECTION

POWERCHARGERPRO can charge Lead/Acid (AGM, Gel, Wet) and Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries depending on the model. The charging curve must be selected according to the battery type; to set it it is necessary to act on the Dip Switch selectors located internally. To access the Dip Switch selectors it is necessary to remove the plastic cap located on one side of the POWERCHARGERPRO as shown below

Once the plastic cap has been removed, act gently on the Dip Switch selectors selecting the desired curve as shown in the tables below.

INSTALLATION

After setting the charging curve according to the battery technology to be recharged, if necessary, the device can be fixed with screws using the side flanges. Then the electrical connections must be made according to the following diagram.

REMOTE STATUS LED CONNECTION (PIN 2)

POWERCHARGERPRO provides a Potential-f reecontact of a relay for a remote status LED connection that shows the external 230V electricity presence. This signal allows to understand, even remotely from the device, if the batteries are charging. Follow the diagrams below to make the correct connection.
