Neptune V
Download Specifications
The WOODS NEPTUNE is a constant-voltage charger with
three individually controlled outputs, allowing simultaneous charging of three
separate battery banks. This charger is ideal for marine applications, since one
NEPTUNE charger will simultaneously maintain charge to a starboard
engine-start battery, a port engine-start battery and a "house" or lighting
battery. The NEPTUNE chargers use precision analog electronics to control
rugged SCR devices. The maximum charging current is under electronic control,
and steered to the most depleted battery. The maximum output voltage is
regulated to 2.3 volts per cell, with easily fitted temperature compensation
available as an option. Battery outlet #3 also features a BOOST mode. The
NEPTUNE’s charging status is indicated by LEDs, with voltage and current
metering available as options. NEPTUNE chargers are constructed with
marine-grade powder-coated cases, and supplied with heavy-duty insulated binding
posts.
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 12V, 24V, 30V, 36V and 48Volt - A vast range of battery
terminal voltages are available 12Vdc to beyond 48Vdc up to 144Vdc.
Available in 15A, 30A, 60A and 120Amp - 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
Triple independant outlets - Using individually sensed and controlled
outputs, the NEPTUNE can charge three isolated battery systems.Flattest
charged first - Due to the inherent recharging properties, the most
depleted battery will receive the bulk of the recharge current.Voltage
Regulation and Current Limiting - Each outlet employs individual voltage
regulation to ensure that the batteries being recharged to not become
overcharged and damaged. The total output current of the NEPTUNE is limited to
its maximum to prevent overloading.Boost mode - Battery outlet # 3
incorporates a BOOST voltage sequence, ideal for recharging deep cycle lead
acid batteries.
BATTERIES
Types - due to the recharge electronics of the control
hardware, large battery banks can be recharged with a NEPTUNE, eg:
Wet Lead Acid, Deep Cycle Lead Acid,
Genesis®/Optima®, etc.
DISPLAY
LED indication - Bright, labelled LED’s provide instant clear
indication of the charging status.Metering - Accurate electronically driven analog moving-coil meters
are not fitted as standard. But, they are large and easy-to-read and a
favoured extra.
CABINET
Strong, durable, attractive - Powder-coated zinc-annealed steel
cabinets.
Mountabilty - Pre-drilled mounting holes means the NEPTUNE 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, most NEPTUNE
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
