Polarity Reversal Protection; Separation Diode; Selecting Battery Type; Led Control Panel - Vetus BCS1225 Bedienungshandbuch Und Installationsvorschriften

4.3 Polarity reversal protection
By wrongly connecting plus and minus of the battery, the charg-
ing current fuse will blow.
Reverse polarity LED will light up, which is located in between
the plus and minus connections, and the buzzer will be acti-
vated.
Insert a new fuse of the same type and ensure that it contacts
properly.
Always connect the plus (+) cable(s) first and the minus (-)
cable last.
4.4 Diode splitter
The appliance is fitted with a diode splitter so that more than
one battery can be charged at the same time. Connect the
diode to connection B1 of the battery charger. This splitter diode
does not cause a voltage drop so that the voltage of the alterna-
tor does not have to be compensated.
4.5 Selecting battery type
Set the charger for the type of lead/acid battery that has to be
charged.
1 Fluid filled batteries, both open and sealed batteries.
2 Gel filled batteries.
3 Deep cycle batteries.
4 AGM Batteries
Refer to '10 Connection drawings', this shows where the switch
is for setting the battery type.
Refer to '9 Charge characteristic' how to set the switch.
4.6 LED control panel
Refer to '10 Connection drawings' for connecting an optional

LED control panel.

4.7 Remote control panel
Refer to '10 Connection drawings' for connecting an optional

remote control panel.

The 8 way RJ connector is provided for connecting the remote
panel.
With remote panel the following functions can be used,
1 Charger ON/OFF
2 Charging current adjust. The charging current of the batter-
ies can be adjusted using the knob.

4.8 Temperature sensor
If in tropical climates or due to other conditions the batteries
become very hot, it is advisable to adjust the charging type for
these (high) battery temperatures. This is possible with the tem-
perature sensor, optionally available from VETUS.
Remove the 2 k ohm resistance and connect an optional tem-
perature sensor.
Refer to '10 Connection drawings' for connecting an optional

temperature sensor.

Place the temperature sensor on the battery which will reach the
highest temperature.
4.9 Connection to mains voltage
Care!
The appliance must be set at the voltage at which it is
connected; 230 Volt / 50 Hz or 115 Volt / 60 Hz.
The battery charger is supplied ready for use at 230 Volt
AC.
Setting (or checking the setting) must always be carried out
before the battery charger is connected to the mains for the
first time.
An incorrect setting for the mains voltage (e.g. set-
ting at 115 Volt AC whereas the mains voltage is 230
Volt AC) will result in irreparable damage to the bat-
tery charger.
When the mains ON switch is on, the LED will light up which is
located near the cable gland.
Amending setting
To amend the setting, move the cable socket as shown in the
drawings, see '10 Connection drawings'.
The apparatus must be protected against high touch voltage
according to instructions of the local electricity company.
The mains fuse to be used must be according to the table here
below:

gL fuses or safety automatics of type B or C can be used.
It is advisable to earth the battery charger to comply
with the CE guidelines.
