5.1 Prodotto finitoview
5.2 Montaggio
Mount the charger in a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for air circulation. Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
5.3 Collegamenti di cablaggio
Refer to Figure 1 for terminal locations. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized before applying power.
- AC Input (L, P, N): Connect the AC power supply to the 'L' (Live), 'P' (Protective Earth/Ground), and 'N' (Neutral) terminals. Ensure the protective earth connection is properly made.
- DC Output (B-, B+): Connect the negative terminal of the battery to 'B-' and the positive terminal of the battery to 'B+'. Observe correct polarity to prevent damage.
- RS485 Communication (A, B): Connect your RS485 communication cable to the 'A' and 'B' terminals for remote monitoring and control.
- Temperature Sensor (T+, T-): If using a temperature sensor (optional), connect it to the 'T+' and 'T-' terminals. This enables temperature compensation for optimized charging.
- Basso volumetage Output (LO): This terminal provides a low-level output when the battery voltage drops below a configured threshold.
- Failure Output (LO): This terminal provides a low-level output when the AC input power is interrupted.
