EV.charge
Download Specifications
The WOODS EV.charge battery charger has been designed
for use with modern electric vehicles and battery
reseller outlets where banks of multiple batteries need to be charged
simultaneously. It is a sophisticated electronic
multiple-taper charger for most types of batteries. It employs
microprocessor-controlled SCRs to precisely regulate charging voltages and
currents during all phases of charging. The EV.charge successfully
recharges deeply discharged batteries and batteries which are loaded during
charging. The EV.charge will not overcharge batteries which are already
fully charged. The EV.charge is also ideally suited to unattended battery
systems which must be kept in a good state of charge for months without
maintainance. The EV.charge "sleeps" when necessary, minimising loss of
electrolyte over prolonged periods, and delivers a replenishing charge only as
required by battery self-discharge.
POWER
240V ac mains or generator supply - While the mains input is
predetermined for Australian conditions with a mild variance in the supply
volts & hertz, remote use is available via generated power with an acceptable
level THD% tolerance. Also available in 110Vac by order.
Available in multi-voltage - A range of battery terminal voltages are
available, 72V, 84V, 96V, 108V and 120Vdc is selectable from the rotary
switch on the front panel.Available in 7.5A, 15A and 30Amp - The larger your battery system
and loadings, the larger your charger should be to quickly bring depleted
batteries back into service.
PROTECTION
Circuit breakers on input and output - Over current protection on both
the mains input and the battery output is offered for immediate protection.
The manual resettable swtich circuit type breakers are of industrial grade.
Temperature controlled fan cooling - The rectifier assembly is
protected by an automatic thermoswitch. If the temperature rises above its
preset level the fan will be enabled untill it has cooled the system to below
its lower setting; thus disengaing the cooling fan. This extends the fans’
operating life.
Rectifier over-temperature shutdown - The second temperature
protection device is also on the rectifier assembly. If, due to severe loading
or other fault, the temperature exceeds its level it will shut the battery
charger down untill the cooling fan brings the temperature back within safe
operating levels.
Transformer over-temperature shutdown - The third temperature
protection device is deep within core of the power transformer. Activation of
this device indicates serious overheating and will shutdown operation of the
battery charger untill the cooling fan brings the temperature back within safe
operating levels.
Reverse battery - If a battery is connected in reverse polarity, the
battery charger will indicate this fault state and will not charge untill the
fault is cleared.
No battery connected - The battery charger will maintain dead
voltage-free output untill it detects a battery has been connected.
Other battery faults - The BETAcharge, will display a "battery fault"
if it detects a battery of incorrect AmpHour rating has been connected; if a
battery of incorrect terminal voltage has been connected; if a battery with
shorted or faulty cells has been connected; if there is an excessive load
connected preventing the battery from being recharged.
Remote alarm relay - This item can be utilised to notify personnel of
any faults the battery charger may be detecting.
CONTROL
Microprocessor controlled - Precise digital control is achieved using
16bit microprocessor. Deep thinking software constanly monitors all facets of
the recharging process using unique algorythms that often outwit other
"intelligent" battery chargers.
Multi-stage recharge program - While triple-stage chargers are
currently popular, it just isnt enough to cover all possible recharging
situations and events. The BETAcharge employs SIX separate stages for a
complete recharging process to ensure no battery escapes charging.
- FLAT charge is used to gently replenish severely depleted batteries before
a recharge proper
- SOFT charge prepares the battery to receive the bulk of the recharge
- BOOST charge delivers the maximum amount of bulk charge to a healthy
battery
- PEAK charge will, if needed, continue to equalize the batteries cells
(preventing desulphation)
- FLOAT charge will provide a maintenance charge to hold the battery ready
for use.
- STANDBY will monitor the 100% recharged battery
Four (4) program selections - To compliment the versatility of the
EV.charge, there is also embedded into the controller, four different program
selections to cover the widest range of different battery types.
BATTERIES
Wide range - due to the intelligence and selectability of the control
software, nearrly all large batteries can be recharged with a EV.charge, eg:
Gel cell, Sealed Lead-Acid, Deep Cycle Lead Acid, Lead-calcium, Wet Ni-Cad,
Genesis®/Optima®, etc.
DISPLAY
LED indication - Bright, labelled LED’s provide instant clear
indication of the charging status and/or faults.
Metering - Accurate electronically driven analog moving-coil meter
displays Amps, displaying Volts is switch-selectable.
CABINET
Strong, durable, attractive - Powder-coated zinc-annealed steel
cabinets.
Mountabilty - Pre-drilled mounting holes means the EV.charge may be
mounted either on a bench or shelf by the base or on a wall or bulkhead by the
back of the cabinet.
Portability - Due to the compactness of the cabinets, EV.charge
units are portable if needed.
COMPLIANCE
Safety Standards - IEC33-2-29 (AS3350.2.29), IEC61558-1:1997
(AS/NZS61558.1:2000)
EMC Standads - EN55014 (CISPR14, AS1044), EN55022 (CISPR22, AS3548),
EN50082-1
IP Rating - IP21
