Description

The BC1524 and BC3012 range provides fully automatic, heavy duty charging of vented lead acid or NiCd batteries. The chargers may be used in a wide range of industrial battery applications, including standby engines, pumps and generators.

The charger uses an open frame construction, designed for surface mounting in an enclosed panel. Each unit consists of a transformer, rectifier and control circuit. The control circuit ensures that charger maintains the battery voltage at the pre-calibrated float level, while supplying any additional load current up to the specified maximum.

A ‘boost’ operating mode can be used to provide increased voltage output. Selection of normal or boost mode is via three terminals, allowing activation by a remote panel switch or time relay – see calibration table overleaf for float and boost voltage levels.

A self diagnostic ‘charge fail’ circuit and relay output is provided as standard. The volt free relay de-energises in the event of a charging fault.
