C.1.3 The Battery charger
The built-in battery charger is capable of charging the batteries quickly and completely. A microprocessor controlled, 3 to 4 Step charging process ensures the optimum charging of the batteries. The desired charging current can be set. The battery charger can be used for lead-acid or gel batteries. Thanks to the floating charge ability of this unit, the batteries can remain continuously connected.
C.1.4 The solar charge regulator (opetional)
With the built-in solar regulator, the unit is a complete solar-power-center. In a solar installation this regulator ensures that the batteries are charged correctly. With the unit, batteries can be charged with a generator and with the solar modules at the same time. The charging of batteries with both energy sources is carried out fully automatically.
C.1.5 Remote control
As an option, a remote control can be connected to this unit. The
remote control is supplied with a 3m long cable. This cable can be up to 15m long. (RS-485 interface) On the remote control output current and charging current are also shown.
C.2 Battery connections
Lead-acid batteries are normally available in blocks of 2V, 6V or 12V. In most cases, to generate the necessary operating voltage and the capacity of the batteries for the unit many batteries have to be connected together in parallel and or in series. Following three examples are shown:
