SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS LETHAL VOLTAGE LEVELS. INSTALLATION AND SERVICING
MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
1. Install and ground the charger in accordance with the National Electric Code and your local electric
code. Failure to properly ground the charger could result in a fatal electric shock.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, install chargers on a surface of non-combustible material, such as concrete,
stone, brick or grounded metal.
3. This charger has been designed to only charge flooded, lead-acid batteries. It should not be used for
charging other types of flooded batteries or sealed batteries.
4. Connect only batteries of the same number of cells and ampere-hour rating as listed on the charger
nameplate. Damage to the battery could occur, particularly if the battery has fewer cells than the
rating of the charger.
5. Do not touch uninsulated parts of the output connector or battery terminals. A possibility of serious
electrical shock exists.
6. During charge, batteries produce hydrogen gas, which can explode if ignited. Never smoke, use an
open flame, or create sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Ventilate well when the battery is in an
enclosed space.
7. Do not connect or disconnect the battery plug while the charger is on. Doing so will cause arching
and burning of the connector resulting in charger damage or battery explosion.
8. Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid, which is caustic and can cause chemical burns to the skin.
Refer to the battery manufacturers instructions for safe handling of batteries. Use proper personnel
protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. In cases of contact with eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
9. Do not operate the charger with the door open or with any panels removed. De-energize all AC and
DC power connections before servicing the charger.
10. The charger is not for outdoor use. Do not expose the charger to water spray, rain or snow.
11. Do not operate the charger with damaged cables, including cables with exposed conductors or

SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
1.1. Receiving
Immediately upon receipt of the charger, check it against the shipping invoice to ensure the shipment is
complete and undamaged.
Examine the outside of the packing for signs of rough handling before accepting the charger from the
carrier.
If there is evidence of damage, the receipt should be signed, and both copies (carrier's and receiving
copies) marked "Shipment Received Damaged". The carrier's representative should be called
immediately and asked to make a "Carrier's Damage Report".
If concealed damage is later detected, the carrier should be called and requested to make a "Carrier's
Inspection for Concealed Damage Report".
After inspection by the carrier, arrangements should be made with the charger representative to have
the charger repaired before placing it in service.
When contacting your charger representative for assistance on a damage claim or shipment error,
provide the Model, and Serial Number of the charger, and a full description of the damage or error.
It is good practice to move the charger to the installation site before uncrating. When using bars,
hammers, etc. for uncrating, use care to avoid damage to the charger.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, install the battery charger on a non-combustible surface
such as concrete, stone, brick, or steel. DO NOT operate the charger on its shipping skid
materials. {
1.2. Location
For the best operating conditions and longest life, take care in selecting an installation site. Avoid
locations exposed to high humidity, temperature extremes or dust. Moisture condensing on machine
parts and electrical components can cause corrosion, which seriously affects operation, efficiency and
life. All units are designed for floor mounting. Standard cases may be stack-mounted if required, up to 3
high. If so, optional stacking brackets are required and available. Consult factory.
Dust and dirt will also decrease heat radiation from heat-generating components, such as transformers and
diodes. This will result in higher operating temperatures and shorter life. Adequate air circulation is needed at
all times in order to ensure proper operation. Provide a minimum of 6 inches of free air space at the sides and
rear of the charger. The front of the charger must remain unobstructed for serviceability.
All chargers are shipped with the AC line voltage jumper wires set for the AC voltage specified on the
purchase order. Before connecting the charger to the AC service, it should be verified that the internal
AC voltage connections match the available AC service voltage. If necessary change the AC voltage
jumper wires shown in Figs. 1.3.1 through 1.3.3.
NOTE: For 50 Hz. Single or three phase fixed voltage chargers, there are no adjustments.
CAUTION: It will be necessary in most cases to change the AC fuses when the AC voltage jumpers
are changed. Refer to the fuse chart on the inside door of the charger for the correct fuse rating.

NOTE: When a 120/208/240 AC input unit is set for 120VAC a fuse neutral (brass tube) is required in the
Line 2 (neutral) fuse position.

1.4. AC Service Requirements
Follow local code requirements if they are different than the instructions in this manual. After checking
the transformer connections as described in Paragraph 1.3, refer to Table 1-1, to determine the correct
ratings for the AC cable, AC fuses, and AC service disconnect switch for the line amperes as listed on
the nameplate of the charger for the available AC voltage
TABLE 1-1
倀×
For voltages up to 240, use a 240 volt disconnect switch.
For voltages greater than 240 to 600, use a 600 volt disconnect switch.
Note: If the charger has been ordered with an AC input door-mounted disconnect switch, the AC input
wires will be connected to the L1 and L3 terminals at the top of the switch body.
Note: If the charger has been ordered with an AC input door-mounted disconnect switch, the AC input wires
will be connected to the L1, L2 and L3 terminals at the top of the switch body.
7
1.6 Grounding the Charger
The charger must be grounded to the AC system ground for personnel safety.
The green ground wire in the AC input wiring must be connected to the charger ground stud
(identified by a green dot and ground symbol).
Verify that the connectors on both the battery and the charger are attached so that the positive
output terminal of the charger is connected to the positive battery terminal.
Note: Charging rate adjustments may be necessary to compensate for locations of extreme AC line variation
or may be used to tailor the charger output for aging batteries.
The charging rate has been set at the factory; therefore, field adjustment should not be necessary.
If there appears to be a charging rate problem, consult the factory for suggested adjustment.
If it is necessary to either increase or decrease the charging rate, a rate adjustment terminal block is provided
on the top rear of the transformer mounting bracket.
The controlled-ferro charger design utilizes chokes to) control the transformer output. It may be necessary to
adjust the choke tap setting along with the adjustments to the transformer tap settings. The choke tap
adjustment block is located on the choke mounting bracket.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION
The front panel has a 16 character LCD display which normally shows charging amps and volts per cell along with a
periodic message showing the charger state. This display also presents messages if an abnormal charge indication is
detected. A yellow ‘Charging’ indicator lights while the charger is charging. A green ‘Complete’ indicator lights when the
charge is complete. A red ‘Fault’ indicator lights if an abnormal charge indication is detected.
A 16-key keypad allows the user to display various parameters and to customize the operation of the charger.
2.2 PROGRAMMING
A minimum of five parameters must be programmed for proper operation: 1) the time of day and date, 2) the algorithm,
which is determined by the type of battery being charged, 3) the amp-hour rating of the battery which is obtained from the
charger data plate, 4) the nominal battery voltage which is obtained from the charger data plate, and 5) the current shunt
rating which is imprinted on the side of the current shunt located inside the charger. Gather this information before
programming the control.
Press the SET key to enter the programming mode. The display shows ‘SET PARAMETER’. Then another key or keys
are pressed for the parameter to be programmed. The display then shows a brief description of the parameter and its
current value. The parameter is changed by entering a new value using the numeric keys on the keypad. Data entry is
from left to right. If more than four digits are entered, the left-most digits scroll off the left end of the display. If an incorrect
number is keyed in, press 0 four times to scroll the bad number off the display and continue entering the correct value.
(Note that if no keys are pressed within about 8 seconds, the programming mode times-out and the control returns to the
normal ‘#A #.##VC’ display). Once the value is entered, press ) ENTER. If the value entered is correct, the display
shows ‘PARAMETER SAVED’ to confirm the value. (If an incorrect value is entered the display shows ‘!! ERROR !!‘ and
then returns to the normal ‘#A #.##VC’ display.)
Some of the programming parameters can be locked out to prevent a user from intentionally or unintentionally changing
the settings. When a parameter is locked, a lock appears on the display and the value cannot be changed. Refer to the
section on jumper settings for information on locking out parameters.

2.2.4 Setting the Amp-Hour Rating
Press SET, then 0. The display shows ‘BATTERY AH SIZE’ followed by ‘BS:’ and the battery size in amp-hours.
Enter the amp-hour rating using the numeric keys on the keypad and press ENTER to save it.
2.2.5 Setting the Battery Voltage
Press SET, then 5, then 4. The display shows ‘BATTERY VOLTAGE’ followed by ‘VR:’ and the battery rating in volts.
Enter the voltage rating using the numeric keys on the keypad and press ENTER to save it.
2.2.6 Setting the Current Shunt Rating
Press SET, then 5, then 5 again. The display shows ‘SHUNT RATING’ followed by ‘SR’ and the shunt rating in amps.
Enter the shunt rating using the numeric keys on the keypad and press ENTER to save it (if a current sensor is used,
enter 0 for the shunt rating).
JUMPER SETTINGS
Refer to figure 1 for jumper locations.

2.4 OPERATION
If alert messages are turned on, periodically a message shows for about 2 seconds in the display. With no
battery connected, the control displays ‘0A 0.00VC’, and a ‘Ferro Magnetics’ message is shown. When
a battery is connected, a lamp test is performed. The charge begins, the yellow CHARGING indicator
lights and the display shows ‘CHARGE PHASE 1’ periodically along with the charging amps and battery
v/c. If equalize is active, an ‘=’ appears on the left side of the display to indicate an equalizing charge.
When phase 1 is completed, the charger starts phase 2 of the charge cycle. The display shows ‘CHARGE
PHASE 2’ along with the charging amps and battery v/c. Depending on the charger and battery type, the
charger may utilize up to 4 phases to complete a charge.
During the equalize portion of the charge cycle the display shows ‘EQUALIZING’ periodically along with
the charging amps and battery v/c.
When a charge is finished, the charger automatically turns off. The display shows ‘BATTERY READY’
and the green COMPLETE indicator lights. The battery may then be disconnected at any time.
2.5 EQUALIZE CHARGE
Over time batteries can develop inequalities in cell charge. This can lower the effective capacity of the
battery and shorten life. An equalizing charge re-balances the charge in the battery cells. Perform an
equalize charge if any of the following conditions exist:
1. On flooded batteries the specific gravity of any cell at the end of charge is 20 points less than the
average of all the cells.
2. The on-charge voltage of any cell at the end of charge is 20 millivolts less than the average of all
the cells.
3. The battery has been stored for 30 days.
The control can perform an equalize automatically based on the number of charge cycles or on a specific
day of the week. Normal equalize consists of an additional 3 hour charge time at the end of a normal
charge cycle.
The control is set at the factory to perform a normal equalize every 7 charging cycles for flooded lead-acid
batteries.
The control can also perform an equalize charge when requested manually. Press the = key. An ‘=’
appears on the left side of the display indicating an equalize charge for the current charge. If no battery is
connected, the equalize occurs on the next charge cycle to allow the cells to equalize their charge.
The auto-equalize or manual equalize charge can be cleared by pressing the = key again. The next auto
equalize charge occurs after the programmed number of charge cycles.
Page 15 of 25
2.6 THERMAL SENSOR OPERATION
The control has the ability to read the battery temperature with an optional thermal sensor. In order for
the sensor to function properly, it must be enabled in the control. This is accomplished by setting the ‘OK
to charge temp’ (OT) parameter to a non-zero value (see table 1). This value indicates the maximum
temperature that allows the charge to start. If the battery is above this temperature when it is connected,
the control displays the temperature and waits for the battery to cool down before starting the charge.
If the thermal sensor is enabled and is missing or damaged, the control displays an F11 indication when
the battery is connected.
The ‘Low charge temp’ (LT) parameter indicates the temperature at which the charge current is reduced
to limit the temperature rise of the battery. The current is reduced proportional to the amount the battery
temperature exceeds the limit.
The ‘No charge temp’ (NT) parameter indicates the temperature at which the charge is terminated. If this
temperature is reached during charge, the charger shuts down and displays an F2 indication.
Refer to the battery manufacturers recommendations before setting these parameters.
If the thermal sensor is enabled, the battery voltage milestones on charge (trip point, cutoff, etc.) are
compensated by 2.5mV/C per degree F (1.5mV/C per degree F for NiCad) above or below 77 degrees F.
If the temperature is below 77 degrees, the voltage is adjusted up and if the temperature is above 77
degrees, the voltage is adjusted down.
Page 16 of 25
2.8 CHARGE INDICATIONS
The following indications are not necessarily a result of a charger problem. They are typically caused by external
problems such as AC line, poor battery conditions, connections, etc. If abnormal charge conditions are detected,
the charge is terminated, the red FAULT indicator lights and the display shows the code:

The charger requires a minimum of maintenance. Connections and terminals should be kept clean and
tight. The charger should be periodically cleaned with an air hose to prevent any excessive dirt build up
on components. Care should be taken not to bump or move any adjustments during cleaning. Make sure
that both the AC lines and the battery are disconnected before cleaning. The frequency of this type of
maintenance depends on the environment in which this unit is installed. If any cabinet sheet metal panels
are removed for cleaning, be certain they are properly reinstalled upon completion.
