3.4.1.6 Electromagnetic interference generated by
the charger
Use screened cable for all connections (*). The
screening at both the emitter end and receiver end
must be connected to earth.
Make sure the length of the cables and screening
connections are kept as short as possible.
Route the cables as close to earth objects as
possible ("flying" cables or cable loops are to be
avoided – fasten the cables against earth objects).
Separate the power supply cables from output
cables.
Separate power cables from monitor signal cables
(minimum 200 mm).
Cables must carry only the charger power supply.
Branch or bridging connections in order to supply
another equipment are to be banned.
(*) This is advice for installation and not an
obligation. The electrician installer will decide
whether to use screened cable or not, based on the
EMC environment.

COMMISSIONING

This section lists the operations to be performed in
order to commission the charger. It is advisable to
comply strictly with these instructions before
switching on for the first time.

3.5.1 Selecting the mains supply voltage

115/230Vac
Selection of the input mains supply is made using the
selector inside the metal case, marked FN1/FN2.
Precautions to be taken in using this selector are as
follows :
The rating of circuit breakers placed on the supply
side of the charger must correspond with the
latter's requirement.
There must be no ac voltage present when the
selector is moved.
Position the voltage selector as a function of the
type of alternating mains supply used.
If this selector is incorrectly set irreversible damage to
the charger may occur.

3.5.2 Selecting battery type

The drawings available in the appendix indicate the
internal selector configuration depending on the type
of used batteries.
Precautions to be taken in using this selector are as
follows :
You MUST check the compatibility of the selection
and the type of battery connected BEFORE you
switch on.

3.5.3 Selecting charge mode

The drawings available in the appendix indicate the
internal selector configuration depending on the
required charging mode.
Precautions to be taken in using this selector are as
follows :
You MUST check the compatibility of the
"BOOST ON" mode voltage with the type of
battery connected.
During the winter period, or periods of prolonged
charger connection to the batteries, if the charger
remains switched on set the switch to "BOOST
OFF" as a matter of course.
If the charger is supplying 1 or 2 banks of batteries
with a low rate of discharge, you are advised to
select the "BOOST OFF" mode.
If there is instability on the alternating mains
supply to the charger (micro-breaks > 500 ms), the
charger will re-initialise the Boost period of 6
hours ± 30 minutes and, in time, result in battery
deterioration.
recommend that you select the "BOOST OFF"
mode.

3.5.4 Verifying the charge voltage

Before connecting batteries to the charger, you MUST
check battery polarity.
Check also the voltage of the batteries using a
calibrated voltmeter. A too low voltage on certain
types of battery can indicate irreversible damage and
an inability to take a recharge.
