1.4 Brief presentation
Chargers in the CPS (charge, programmable, selective) range provide specific
charging for 1, 2 or 3 banks of batteries in accordance with the battery
manufacturers' specifications.
With an internal potentiometer, it's possible to set the output voltage in accordance
with the type of battery (Lead/Antimony or Lead/Calcium).
Entirely automatic with built-in charge distribution, they can remain permanently
connected to the batteries in complete safety and do not need to be disconnected
when starting the engine.
The timed Boost function, which allows the batteries to be charged more quickly
(6 hours ± 30 minutes), may be activated or inhibited by means of an internal switch
as the user wishes:
"BOOST ON" position to enable Boost
"BOOST OFF" position to disable Boost
In general, starter batteries are always better charged than auxiliary and utility
batteries. In order to increase its life by not overcharging, it is allocated its own
specific output .
CPS chargers are protected against polarity reversal and transient short-circuits.
Accepting a wide range of input frequencies and voltages, they work from
electricity generating sets and may be connected to international marinas within the
specified tolerance range (115/230 ± 15%, selected by internal jumper).
3 indicator lamps on the front panel show the state of the charger:
1 Green LED
1 Yellow LED
1 Yellow LED
CPS chargers are supplied in a metal case with IP20 protection rating.
All of the CPS range output a filtered and regulated voltage of 12 or 24 V. In the
event of battery disconnection, the charger supplies the loads without damage.
