Commissioning; A) Connection To A Voltage/Current Supply - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch

9. COMMISSIONING

a) Connection to a voltage/current supply

Attention!
Always connect the charger to the voltage/power supply first; only then must a
rechargeable battery be connected to the charger.
The charger offers two different options for operation.
• Operation via the mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz)
• Operation via stabilised direct voltage (11 - 18 V/DC, e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery)
Never use both operating modes at the same time. This may damage the charger.
Loss of guarantee/warranty!
The charger has a maximum charge output of 300 W. If the charger is operated via the direct
voltage input, the power supply must be chosen accordingly strongly, depending on how high
the actual charging output used is (depending on battery type, cell number and the charge
current set).
When fully using the maximum charging power of 300 W, the conversion loss leads to
an approx. 25% higher power intake, i.e. 380 W.
If the charger is not to be operated at a 12 V vehicle lead battery, but via a fixed voltage
mains unit, it must be able to supply a correspondingly high current.
When using the direct voltage input, observe proper polarity of the XT60 plug when connecting
(plus/+ is at the flattened side, minus/- at the pointed corner).
The charger will switch on automatically after
to connecting the voltage/power supply. The
display lights up and the charger emits a short
signal.
The charger then is in its main menu; see figure
to the right.
