For applications where the electricity network may be either 115VAC or 230VAC, always choose the cross
section recommended for 115VAC.
Always use cable markers with insulating collars in accordance with installation standards governing AC
network input connections.
The rating of the upstream circuit-breakers should match the equipment's requirements.
Remarks:
The CPS3 chargers are working as soon as they are connected (connected and supplied AC network cable)
The CPS3 chargers are stopped as soon as they are not anymore under voltage (disconnected AC network
cable or circuit breaker of the installation in OFF position).
Power limiting switch
A switch on the outside of the case (the cable lead-in side) limits the charger's output power (on position 1) :
This may prevent the differential circuit-breaker at the beginning of the 230/115VAC line from tripping.
3.2.2. Battery cable
Please check imperatively the compatibility of voltage, current and setting according to the connected
battery type before switching ON the charger.
Check of the charge voltage
Before connecting the batteries to the charger, imperatively check the polarity of the batteries.
Equally check the battery voltage thanks to a calibrated voltmeter. A too lower voltage value on some types
of batteries can point out an irreversible damage of them and so an impossible recharge.
The battery and/or use outputs must be imperatively done on a PHOENIX CONTACT connector (not
supplied). The reference of this connector is PC35 HC/4-STF-15,00.
The charger is equipped with a PHOENIX CONTACT terminal, reference PC35 HC/4-GF-15,00.
Connect from left to right : -BAT, +BAT D, + BAT1 and BAT2.
• - BAT (minus set of batteries)
• +BAT D (plus engine battery for marine-type applications)
• +BAT 1 (plus battery set 1)
• +BAT 2 (plus battery set 2)
Up to 3 metres, the cross-section of the battery cables should be at least equal to or greater than the values
provided in the table below:
The installer should choose the type of cable (H07-VK, MX...) according to the type of application and the
applicable standards.
