Generators
The Cristec battery charger is designed to operate on a generator. In certain cases, generators can produce high
surges. Before connecting the charger, check its compatibility with the generator's characteristics: power,
voltage, surges, frequency, current etc.
Power limiting switch
For models 12V/80A, 24V/50A, 24V/60A, 24V/75A and 48V/30A, a switch on the outside of the case (the
cable lead-in side) limits the charger's output power (on position 1) :
Charger Rated power =
CPS2/12-80 75%
CPS2/24-50 75%
CPS2/24-60 65%
CPS2/48-30 65%
CPS2/24-75 50%
This may prevent the differential circuit-breaker at the beginning of the 230/115VAC line from tripping.

CHARGER COMPATIBILITY AND SETTINGS ACCORDING TO BATTERY TYPE

Before switching on, be sure to check the compatibility of voltage, current and settings according to the type of
batteries connected.
Checking the load voltage
Before connecting the batteries to the charger, you must check the polarity of the accumulators. Also check the
voltage of the batteries with the aid of a calibrated voltmeter. A low voltage on certain types of accumulators
may indicate they have sustained irreversible damage, thereby precluding any possibility of recharging.
5.3

TURNING THE CHARGER ON AND OFF

The CPS2 charger starts operating as soon as it is switched on (input power cable connected and powered).
The CPS2 charger stops operating when it is no longer powered up (input power cable disconnected or the
installation's circuit-breaker in the OFF position).
ATTENTION: if the charger On/Off option is used, the charger may not be in operation while still being
powered up (dangerous voltage).
