Other precautions
Never attempt to drill a hole in or to machine the charger's case: this may damage components or cause
metal chips or filings to fall on the charger's board.
Do not do anything that is not explicitly stated in this manual.

1.2. WARRANTY

The manufacturer disclaims the warranty and CRISTEC waives any liability whatsoever if the installation rules
and instructions for use are not observed.
The warranty is valid for 36 months. It covers parts and labour for equipment returned to the Quimper plant. Only
original parts recognized as being defective will be replaced under the warranty.
Our warranty does not cover:
1. Failure to abide by this manual
2. Any mechanical, electrical or electronic alterations to the appliance
3. Improper use
4. Presence of moisture
5. Failure to comply with AC power-supply tolerances (i.e. overvoltage)
6. Incorrect connections
7. Falls or impacts during transportation, installation or use
8. Repairs carried out by anyone unauthorized by CRISTEC
9. The maintenance in the energy conversion area made by a non-authorized person by CRISTEC
(breaking or unsticking of the seal sticker of warranty:"warranty")
10. Connection of any interface not supplied by CRISTEC
11. The cost of packaging and carriage
12. Apparent or latent damage sustained during shipment and/or handling (any such claims should be
sent to the haulier)
Our warranty on no account provides for any form of compensation. CRISTEC shall not be held liable for damage
incurred as a result of using the battery charger.
2. OPERATING–PRESENTATION–INTERFACES

2.1. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The design of the battery chargers in the CPS3 range is based on a high-frequency split converter that transforms
the AC signal into regulated and filtered DC current. They can operate as a DC power supply.
Once the type of battery and type of charge has been selected, operation of the battery charger is entirely automatic
(Unless otherwise specified by the supplier or the manufacturer of the batteries). It can remain connected to the
batteries and does not need to be disconnected when starting up an engine (marine application), because it is
equipped with insulating diodes.
The appliance's output voltage is sufficient to recharge 1, 2 or separate 3 batteries (integrated charge distributor,
separation of batteries). All models feature an output suitable for recharging an engine battery (BAT D output,
marine application). The charger's maximum output is the rated current distributed to each output according to the
connected batteries banks.
Each output can deliver the rated current.
All the models are equipped with an additional + SP output allowing to add an external battery isolator in the case
of an installation of more than 3 battery banks.
Not all the outputs have to be connected. However, if only one output is used, we recommend interconnecting
outputs BAT1, BAT2 and BAT D to one another (optional).

2.2. OVERVIEW PRESENTATION

The chargers are divided into 2 areas:
• The user interface area
• The energy conversion area (all maintenance in this area is forbidden except CRISTEC authorization, under
penalty of warranty exclusion)
