DESCRIPTION
The Red Diamond is a series of battery chargers that are based on a new “Hybrid” power conversion system.
The two parts that are combined together to compose this “Hybrid” system are:
- Special isolation transformer, with line frequency multiplication system;
- High-frequency switchmode converter, based on IGBT technology.
This system offers very high electrical efficiency, near unity power factor and very low output current ripple, moreover, it features a real universal charging capability: multi-voltage, multi-current, multi-application.
The electrical structure of the Red Diamond charger is represented in the
following block diagram.
The TRANSFORMER reduces the AC input voltage and provides electrical insulation between the input and the output of the charger. The RECTIFIER converts the AC output of the transformer to an unregulated DC voltage. The CHOPPER (operating at high frequency), regulates the output voltage and current to the desired values. It generates a perfectly constant output current, with negligible ripple. The IGBT CHARGE CONTROLLER is the main control unit of the IBCI Red Diamond.
It’s a microprocessor-based electronic board, and it contains the USER INTERFACE (Display, LEDs and Keyboard), the CHARGE PROGRAM MEMORY (where all the programmed parameters are saved), the DATA LOGGER (where the charge history is saved) and the CHARGE DATA PROCESSOR, which manages the entire charge process. The POWERREGULATIONBOARD controls the operation of all the power components. It receives command signals from the IGBT CHARGE CONTROLLER, and it generates the high-frequency PWM control signal that drives the IGBT regulator. The Red Diamond chargers are available in a variety of models, with single phase or threephase input. The standard models are listed in the following table, while customized models are available on request.

The control panel is complete and easy to use: four coloured LEDs indicate the state of the charge, while a 2×20 character dot matrix display gives complete information and error messages in plain text (multilingual). A three button flat membrane keyboard is used for programming and data review. A unique feature of the Red Diamond charger is the automatic recognition of the battery. This functionality can operate in three different modes: it can recognize the batteries by voltage, it can use optional battery identification modules, or it can use a combination of the two systems.
For each battery, the user can program the TYPE (Flooded Lead Acid, GEL, AGM), the CAPACITY (from 5Ah to 2500Ah) and the desired charging current. The Red Diamond charger calculates automatically the ideal charge curve for the given parameters. While the programming and operation of the Red Diamond can be done using a simplified and automatic form, expert users have the possibility to adjust the charge parameters and options without limits (Gassing Voltage, Temperature Limits, Equalization Mode, Refresh Mode, Language and much more).
The charging curve of the Red Diamond charger is based on the “IEI” (or “IUIa”) system, but instead of applying a pre-defined charge curve to the battery, the charger calculates all the parameters (Currents, Voltage Limits, Maximum Times) according with the Battery Data and the User programming. Moreover, the curve is dynamically adjusted while the charge is in progress, depending on the real status of the battery.
The Red Diamond Charger is suitable for Conventional and Opportunity charging
applications. It’s equipped with a Real-Time Clock, which allows the user to
program the desired start time of the day, the full charge time window and to
schedule the weekly equalize cycles. The Red Diamond Charger saves the results
of the last 50 charge in the built-in data logger. In addition, it’s possible
to connect the charger to the DoctorFleet.com Fleet Management System, which
allows to monitor the complete fleet through a WEB-based interface and sending
automatic messages/reports by email.
INSTALLATION
CONDITIONS OF USE:
- Temperature (operation): from 0°C to 50°C.
- Temperature (storage): from –20°C to 60°C.
- Relative Humidity: less than 75 %.
CONNECTION OF THE AC INPUT:
The charger must be connected to the AC input using an adequate cable and
plug, with disconnect switch and fuses. The AC input wires have to be
connected to the AC INPUT TERMINAL BLOCK, that is located on the internal
panel, just under the AC input contactor. Make sure to tighten the terminal
block screws with the proper torque, and pull each wire separately in order to
verify that they are mounted properly.
AC INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION 208/240 OR 480 VAC:
The three-phase models may be configured for 208/240 VAC or 480 VAC nominal
input voltage. This selection can be done using the apposite terminal block,
that is located at the center of the internal panel, between the terminal
blocks for the AC input wires and the AC contactor.
In addition, it’s necessary to adjust the AC input connection of the AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER to the proper AC input voltage.
- Disconnect the charger from main supply and battery.
- Remove the plastic protection over the AC INPUT VOLTAGE PRESET BOARD
- Remove the three metal bars.
- Place the metal bars in the required position, with ref to the following pictures.
- Tighten the nuts with the proper torque.
- Apply for the plastic protection.
- Connect the charger to main supply.
ATTENTION!
Remember to set BOTH the three metal bars AND the input wire on the Auxiliary
Transformer. If one of the two are not set properly, the charger may be
damaged.

PARAMETERS 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5:
BATTERY INFORMATION
For each battery voltage that is supported by the charger, it’s possible to
set the TYPE, CAPACITY and desired START CURRENT.
For each supported battery voltage, the display shows this setup page:
It’s possible to scroll between each battery voltage using the buttons
UP/DOWN. The fields identified by the BLUE labels (Type, Capacity, Start
Current) are editable, while the fields identified by the RED labels are NOT
editable, as the battery voltage is fixed, and the Start Rate is automatically
calculated as percent of Current over Capacity (A/100AH).
PROGRAMMABLE VALUES:
-
TYPE
-
FL – Flooded Lead Acid
GE – Gel Cell
AG – AGM
NN – Type Unknown -
CAPACITY From 5 to 2500 Ah
-
START CURRENT From 2A to the maximum supported by the charger
NOTE:
The values programmed in these setup pages will be used when the charger
recognizes the batteries automatically, using the VOLTAGE DRIVEN MODE (see
next pages). If the battery is equipped with a Battery Identification module,
only the programmed START RATE value will be used.
EXAMPLE SETTINGS:
- Battery A) Lead Acid type, 12 cells, 24 V nominal, 600 Ah, Start Current 100A
- Battery B) Lead Acid type, 18 cells, 36 V nominal, 1000 Ah, Start Current 250A
In this example, when batteries with nominal voltages 24 V or 36 V will be connected to the charger, they will be always recognized as type A or type B, using the “VOLTAGE DRIVEN” recognition mode. If batteries with nominal voltages of 24 V or 36 V, equipped with Battery Identification Modules, will be connected to the charger, the charger will receive all the information about the battery directly from the Battery Identification Module. In this case, the battery will be charged using the same start rate (A/100Ah) that has been set for the same voltage.
For example, if a third type of battery (GEL, 12 cells, 24 V nominal, 200 Ah) equipped with with Battery Identification Module will be connected, it will receive a start rate of 32A (correspondent to 16A/100Ah), while all the other charge parameters will be calculated automatically by the charger, based on the battery type and capacity.
PARAMETER 6: GASSING VOLTAGE
- Programmable values: from 2.35 to 2.50 V/Cell, or TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED
- Default value: 2.40 V/cell
NOTE: The charging algorithm of the Red charger is adaptive, so it’s capable of adjusting the charging curve even if the gassing voltage of the battery deviates significantly from the programmed value. For this reason, this parameter should be modified only when using non-standard batteries, or if the operating temperature is extremely low or high.
When a battery temperature probe (optional) is used, the charger can calculate the gassing voltage dynamically, in order to compensate the effect of the temperature of the electrolyte. In order to activate this function, it’s sufficient to reduce the gassing voltage below 2.35 V/cell. In this case, the message “TEMP. COMPENSATED.” will appear.
PARAMETER 7: MAXIMUM VOLTAGE
- Programmable values: from 2.40 to 2.80 V/Cell, or DISABLED
- Default value: 2.80 V/cell
- NOTE: This parameter sets a maximum limit for the cell voltage. If this limit is reached, the charge is terminated and a specific error message is given.
PARAMETER 8: MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
- Programmable values: from 115 to 160 °F, or DISABLED
- Default value: 140°F
- NOTE: This parameter sets a maximum limit for the battery temperature. If this limit is reached, the charge is terminated and a specific error message is given. This functionality requires the connection of an optional temperature probe.
PARAMETER 9: EQUALIZE DURATION
- Programmable values: from 1 to 8 hours
- Default value: 6 hours
- NOTE: This parameter allows to adjust the duration of the weekly Equalize cycle. In most of the cases the default value of 6 hours works well, but sometimes it can be useful to modify this setting, depending on the status of the battery and on the operating cycle.
- IMPORTANT: The battery will be equalized only during the programmed time window (See parameters 13 and 14). If the Equalize time window is not set, or it’s set too short, the battery will not receive a sufficient Equalize.
PARAMETER 10: DATE AND TIME
- Programmable values: Month/Day/Year, Hour/Minutes
- Default value: Eastern Time (GMT-5)
- NOTE: It’s fundamental to keep the Real Time Clock set to the correct date and time, in order to use all the time base functions. The Charger calculates the Day of the Week automatically, however it’s necessary to adjust the Clock manually in Daylight saving time periods.
PARAMETER 11: START TIME WINDOW
- Programmable values: From 00.00 to 23:59
- Default value: From 00.00 to 23:59
- NOTE: This parameter sets a time window during the day in which the charger is allowed to start a new charge cycle. If a battery is connected outside of this time window, the charger will remain in stand-by mode until the programmed Start time will be reached. Once the charge cycle has begun, this time window is not considered anymore.
PARAMETER 12: FULL CHARGE / TIME WINDOW
- Programmable values: From 00.00 to 23:59
- Default value: From 00.00 to 23:59
- NOTE: This parameter sets a time window during the day in which the charger is allowed to fully charge the battery and to let the battery go through the gassing/overcharge process.
Usually, this parameter is used in opportunity charging applications, with the purpose of avoiding useless gassing of the battery during the opportunity charging cycles, and to program a daily full charge of the battery.
PARAMETERS 13 AND 14: EQUALIZE TIME WINDOW
- Programmable values: Any day, from 00.00 to 23:59
- Default value: From SATURDAY at 12.00 to SUNDAY at 22.00
- NOTE: These parameters set a time window during the week in which the charger is allowed to fully charge and Equalize the battery. It’s recommended to set a minimum Equalize time of 12 hours after the normal completion of the charge cycle.
PARAMETER 15: DISPLAY CONTRAST
- Programmable values: From 10% to 100%
- Default value: 90%
- NOTE: This parameter sets the display contrast. It can be modified in order to improve the visibility when the intensity of the ambient lighting changes.
PARAMETER 16: BATTERY RECOGNITION MODE
- Programmable values: – VOLTAGE DRIVEN
- BATTERY ID MODULE
- AUTOMATIC
- Default value: VOLTAGE DRIVEN
- NOTE: This parameter sets the method that the charger uses for the identification of the battery. The VOLTAGE DRIVEN mode is based exclusively on the battery voltage at the moment of the connection to the charger.
The BATTERY ID MODULE mode is based exclusively on the presence of a battery ID module, that stores the battery Type, Voltage, Capacity and ID number. In this operating mode, if the battery ID module is absent the charger will not charge the battery. The AUTOMATIC mode allows to combination the two modes. When the battery is connected, the charger tries to establish a wireless connection with the Battery ID Module.
If the ID module is found, the charger proceeds, and it uses the information stored in the module for the calculation of the charging cycle. If the ID module is NOT found within 5 minutes, the charger recognizes the battery using the VOLTAGE DRIVEN mode, then it uses the default Battery information that have been programmed (Parameters 1 to 5).
PARAMETER 17: WIRED NET / TEST WIRELESS / LOCAL USB
NOTE:
This is an advanced function, described on the IBCI Red Diamond “ADVANCED
PROGRAMMING MANUAL”. It’s used when the charger is equipped with a
Communication Card to the fleet management system DoctorFleet.com, or when
it’s equipped with an Expanded Data-Logger Card with USB connection.

begins, the display visualizes the message:
BATTERY VOLTAGE TOO LOW
If the battery voltage is lower than a minimum threshold, the charge will not
start and the display visualizes the message:
- If this message appears, it’s recommended to verify that the nominal battery voltage matches the nominal voltage of the charger. Probably a wrong or damaged battery has been connected.
- It’s also possible that the battery has been deeply discharged, bringing the voltage below the minimum value required for the automatic start the charge.
- In this case, it’s possible to start the charge manually, by pushing the button DOWN for 5 seconds.
CHARGE CYCLE
When the preliminary controls are complete, the charge starts automatically,
and the display visualizes the following information:
- Battery Voltage [Volt]
- Charging Current [Amps]
- Time of Charge [hours.minutes]
- Capacity Returned [Ah]
The Red Diamond Charger performs an IEI charge cycle, and the management of the charging curve is totally au.
Depending on the programming of the Full Charge time window (Parameter 12), when the battery reaches the 100% state of charge, the charger may suspend the charge (opportunity charge cycle). In this situation, the display visualizes the message:
Where (hh.mm)A represents the real time at that moment, and (hh.mm)B represents the beginning of the Full Charge time window. While the charge is in progress, it’s always possible to scroll between different menu pages, using the buttons UP/DOWN:
- CHARGE STATE – Identifies the position in the charge curve, with reference to the picture blow.
