Operation Modes

Opportunity Charging

Allows charging during breaks, lunch, or available times. Maintains battery in a partial state of charge (20%-80% of C5) throughout the work week. Schedule time after weekly equalization for cooling and electrolyte checks.

Daily Charge

Adds additional daily charging time if the work schedule requires. Consider only when daily work demand requires extra capacity.

Equalization Charging

For flooded lead-acid batteries, performed after normal charging to balance electrolyte densities. Factory default: daily charge disabled, 6-8 hours equalize on Sunday at 00:00 for flooded; 2-hour week/maintenance charge for NexSys® profiles.

Block Out Time

Inhibits charging during a specified window. If a cycle starts before the window, it pauses and resumes afterward.

Refresh Charging

Maintains the battery at maximum state of charge while attached to the charger.

Safety Precautions

⚠️ WARNING The shipping pallet must be removed for proper and safe operations.

Installation

Location

Choose a location free of excess dust, combustible material, and corrosive fumes. Avoid high temperatures (above 113°F [45°C]) or potential liquid spills. Do not obstruct air ventilation openings (inlets on front/underside, outlet on back). Follow charger warning labels when mounting on or over combustible surfaces. Mount at least 28 inches (72 cm) radial distance from the closest top edge of the battery.

Cabinet Mounting

Mount the charger vertically on a wall, stand, shelf, or floor. Maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) between chargers. If wall-mounted, ensure the surface is vibration-free. If floor-mounted, ensure surfaces are free of vibration, water, or humidity. Use 2 or 4 fixings suitable for the support type; drilling patterns vary by model (refer to technical data sheet).

Electrical Connections

Ensure connection to the correct line voltage. Follow local standards and laws. ⚠️ WARNING Make sure the power source is OFF and the battery is disconnected before connecting input power.

To the mains supply

Connect to a 3-phase 400Vac mains supply using a standard socket and an appropriate circuit breaker (not supplied). Current consumption is shown on the charger's information plate.

Connection to battery

Use supplied cables:

AC Circuit Protection

The user must provide suitable branch circuit protection and a disconnect method from the AC power supply for safe servicing. ? CAUTION Risk of Fire/Electric Shock. Use only on circuits with branch circuit protection in accordance with laws and standards.

Observe prevailing safety regulations. System protection must conform to the charger's electrical characteristics. A suitable circuit breaker is recommended. Use only specified fuses of the correct size.

This equipment conforms to Class 1 safety standards, requiring earthing and power from an earthed supply.

Grounding the Charger

Connect ground wire to the proper terminal, usually marked with the ground symbol (⏚).

? DANGER FAILURE TO GROUND THE CHARGER COULD LEAD TO FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK. Follow National Electric Code for ground wire sizing.

DC Connector Polarity

The charging cables connect to the DC output: RED cable (POS) to the positive busbar, BLACK cable (NEG) to the negative busbar. Observe output polarity when connecting to the battery. Improper connection will open DC fuses in power modules.

Installation & Operation

Charge Operation

Operate with both doors locked for ingress protection. Connect charger terminals to battery terminals. Use front-accessible push buttons. Refer to "Maintenance and Service" for picture references.

Charger Idle Display

When the charger is in wait mode (no battery connected) and Stop/Start is not pressed, the display shows:

ReferenceDescription
1Charger DC Voltage
2Selected Charge Profile
3Firmware Version
4Connect Battery
5System Time and Date

When charging a NexSys® iON battery, CAN communication establishes, displaying "BMS CONNECTED". The battery then closes the charge contactor, initiating charge and countdown.

Delayed Start

If programmed, charging begins after a delay. When the battery is plugged in, the display shows time remaining before charging starts (See Figure 1).

Note: Without a Wi-iQ® device, charging starts after programmed delay using Profile, Capacity, and Temperature settings from the Configuration menu.

Start Charging

When a battery is connected, the control board senses voltage. If auto-start is ON, charging begins automatically. Press the Stop/Start button if the battery is already connected.

PAIRING with a Wi-iQ® battery monitoring device

If Wi-iQ® adapters are in range, the charger applies current. The display shows "SCAN" then "IQLINK" to determine the connected device. It then downloads data, displays battery S/N, updates profile capacity/temperature, and starts charging.

Display Information During Charging (See Figure 2)

ReferenceDescription

7Battery temperature, alternates with battery capacity
8Battery S/N from Wi-iQ® battery monitoring device

9Wi-iQ® battery monitoring device link

Charging current adjusts automatically as battery voltage rises. The display shows charge parameters, including battery capacity percentage.

For NexSys® iON batteries, the BMS controls charge current and voltage via CAN. If CAN is lost, charging stops, and the "BMS CONNECTED" message disappears.

Pause Charging

Press the START/STOP button once to pause. Press again to resume (See Figure 3).

Charge Complete

The GREEN charge complete indicator illuminates, and the display shows "CHARGE COMPLETE". The display alternates between Total charging time and Amp-hours restored.

End of Charge Without Equalization: GREEN indicator ON, display shows "CHARGE COMPLETE". Alternates between total charging time and amp-hours restored.

Operating, Menu, & Display

Operating Instructions (cont.)

⚠️ WARNING Any other lit LED indicates a problem during charging. Refer to Control Panel chart. If battery remains plugged in and refresh charge is enabled, refreshes occur to maintain optimal charge.

The battery is now ready for use. Push the START/STOP button before unplugging.

End of Charge with Equalization

An equalize charge can be started manually or automatically.

Manual Equalization Start

Press the EQUALIZE button anytime during charge; equalization will be scheduled after charging completes. The start is indicated by a symbol. During equalization, the charger displays output current, battery voltage, cell voltage, and remaining time. NOTE: Output is set automatically when equalization is manually started.

Automatic Equalization Start

If an equalization day is programmed, it starts automatically on that day after charging is complete. After equalization, the battery is available when the green LED shows AVAIL. If the battery remains plugged in and refresh charge is enabled, refreshes occur. Push ENTER/STOP and START before unplugging.

AC Power Failure

If AC power fails during a charge cycle, the charger resets and restarts the cycle when power is restored. Settings, time, and date are preserved.

Series Charging

Voltages of both batteries add up and must match the charger's DC volts rating. Ampere-hour rating must equal each battery's rating. Charge cycle will not start unless both batteries are connected.

Maintenance and Service

⚠️ WARNING DANGEROUS VOLTAGES INSIDE. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD ADJUST OR SERVICE THIS CHARGER.

Connections and terminals must be kept clean and tight. Periodically clean the unit (especially heatsink) with low-pressure air. Avoid bumping or making adjustments during cleaning. Disconnect AC lines and battery before cleaning. Maintenance frequency depends on the environment.

To ensure proper ventilation and protection against particulate matter, routine air filter inspection and maintenance is required. The filter is accessible from the front by unlocking and opening the two doors. Disconnect all power sources (AC grid, batteries) before opening any door.

Maintenance Intervals

Inspection intervals are application-specific. Maximum interval is 90 days, with more frequent inspection in dusty/dirty areas or if the filter becomes wet. If the filter surface is darkened, clogged, contaminated, or damaged, replace it.
