The Inteli-Power Four-Stage Charging System
Our patented system is designed to provide the optimum charging
voltage at all times during the recharge cycle. Battery voltage is constantly
monitored by the microprocessor, which then automatically selects one of
four operating modes as follows:
- Storage Mode - Activated automatically when the 12 Volt systems
are turned off and the battery has been fully charged for a period of 30
hours. The digital display will show the word STORAGE when the unit is in
this mode.
- Normal Mode - Automatically selected once the battery reaches
the 90% charged level. This lower voltage safely completes the charge and
the unit will remain in this Normal Mode as long as the 12 Volt systems are
being operated. The digital display will show the word NORMAL when the unit
is in this mode.
- Exclusive Equalize Mode - Prevents battery stratification
and power robbing sulfation. When the charger is in the Storage Mode, the
microprocessor automatically equalizes the battery by increasing the voltage
from 13.2 Volts to 14.4 Volts for 15 minutes every 21 hours. This higher
voltage remixes the electrolyte mixture of water and sulfuric acid. Battery
manufacturers recommend that Lead-Acid batteries be equalized every 30 days
or 10 discharge cycles.
PD2100 Series MARINE BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY AND RELIABILITY FEATURES:
- Four-Stage Charging System- patented Microprocessor constantly
monitors battery voltage and automatically selects one of the four charging
modes; BOOST, NORMAL, STORAGE or EQUALIZE.
- 3 Diode Isolated Outputs- allows the converter/charger to charge three
separate banks of batteries. Each output is capable of handling the full
rated current of the charger.
- Patented Reverse Battery Protection- prevents converter/charger from
being damaged if the batteries are accidentally connected to the charger
in reverse.
- Over Voltage Protection- prevents high voltage spikes from damaging
the converter/charger.
- Electronic Current Limiting- limits the output current to the maximum
rating of the charger to prevent overheating and damage caused by shorts
or excessive loads.
- Intelligent Cooling Fan- only runs as fast as required to maintain a
more constant operating temperature inside the converter/charger. This feature
reduces thermal stress caused by fans that cycle on and off.
- Regulated Output Voltage- prevents AC Line voltage variations from being
transmitted to the batteries and 12 volt circuits.
- Automatic Over-Temperature Shutdown- prevents converter/charger damage
in the event the fan is unable to cool the charger due to inadequate compartment
ventilation.
- Series or Parallel Connection- Inteli-Power Converter/Chargers can be
connected in series to provide a combination 12/24 Volt system, or in parallel
to provide more current.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Digital Meter - Displays Current, Voltage, Operation Mode, Blown Fuse
Indication, and Battery Type.
- Programmable in the Field- to provide optimum charging profiles for
lead-acid, gel-cell, or AGM batteries.
- Built-In Self Test
