DSE BC2410Ei Enclosed Intelligent Battery Charger
TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
NOTE: A larger version of the Typical Wiring Diagram is available in the product’s operator manual, refer to DSE Publication: 057-316 DSE BC2410Ei Operator Manual available from www.deepseaelectronics.com for more information.
DANGER OF DEATH: LIVE PARTS exist within the enclosure. The enclosure cover must not be removed when connected to an AC supply.
INSTALLATION
The battery charger is wall mounted via four holes at the rear of the enclosure. Dimension and mounting details are given overleaf. The battery charger is designed as a fit-and-forget device therefore, is permanently connected to the supply and the load, with no requirement to disable the charger during heavy load, such as engine cranking, or when in parallel with a charging alternator.
BATTERY SUITABILITY
NOTE: With factory default settings, the battery charger produces 0 V until it is connected to a battery. Once connected it automatically configures to 12 V or 24 V operations.
The battery charger is factory set by DSE to suit Lead Acid batteries and automatically switches between 12 V or 24 V operations by measuring the battery voltage when connected. The battery charger can be adjusted to suit many battery types and has the option of fixing the output voltage range and characteristics using Configuration Suite PC Software. Care must be taken to ensure the batteries connected to the charger are of the correct technology to suit the setting of the charger.
INDICATIONS
The Battery Charger features an LCD display and depending on the variant,
additional voltage and current meters may be fitted.
BOOST MODE
Boost mode is operated automatically or by activation of the digital input (if
configured to perform this function). This raises the battery charger voltage
to the boost voltage setting.
ACCESSING THE FRONT PANEL EDITOR
- The Front Panel Editor (FPE) is accessed by pressing and holding the (✓) button for 10 seconds.
- Press the (up) or (down) button to cycle through the Adjustable Parameters listed overleaf.
- Press the (✓) button to edit a parameter when it is being viewed on the screen. The value flashes to show edit mode is in progress.
- Press the (+) or (-) button to change the parameter to the required value.
- Press the (✓) button to save the currently selected value. The value ceases flashing to show editing is complete.
- Press and hold the (✓) button to exit the editor.
NOTE: When the editor is left inactive for the duration of the LCD Page
Timer, it is automatically exited to ensure security.
NOTE: Comprehensive module configuration is possible using the DSE
Configuration Suite PC Software, refer to DSE publication 057-315 DSE BC2410Ei
