ALDEN SPS 220 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 10

Global information
The ALDEN 220 and 330 SPS regulators have been designed based on high technology knowledge. Compatible with
any type of battery, these regulators are most adapted for leisure vehicles. Robust and reliable, they are guaranteed
two years. Special functions:
• Two battery outputs : the first for the cell-battery, the second for the start-battery. The intensity assigned to the start-
battery is always low and its only purpose is to keep the battery loaded when the vehicle is not used. (I = 0 to 1.5 A).
• 'Quick' function : This function stops the battery from over loading. The charge will start again when the battery load
decreases.
• Controlled use : Thanks to continuous measures, the inner circuits checks the voltage of the batteries. The regulators
deliver a pre-definded voltage depending on various parameters over a certain period of time and will then maintain
the load of the battery at this level: this will avoid sulphatation which could damage the battery and weaken it.
• Filters : Inner filters allow other sources to load at the same time.
• Indicator leds : Two leds indicate the charge and the level of charge. These leds can be switched on at the same time,
which means that the battery is almost full but continues to load.
How to use the regulator
As soon as there is enough sunlight, the battery starts to load. The green light comes on. The inner circuits chooses the
appropriate voltage. In some cases, it lets the tension go up to 14.2 Volts (limits gas formation). It authorizes a quicker
load as well as an improvement of the battery capacity, while decreasing sulphating. Once this is done, the tension
delivered to the battery is kept at a «normal» charge of 13.8 Volts. If the charge decreases a little, recharging will be
done «normally». On the other hand, if the discharge is more important or if the tension goes under 11.6 Volts, the
battery will be reloaded up to 14.2 Volts. We advise the installation of Accuprotect® to avoid deep discharges.
Installation
• Connect the cables from the panel to the input of the regulator (see page 10)
Warning : the cables from the panel must never touch each other.
- If you have an installation with several panels, connect them in parallel.
- Use 2.5 to 4 mm
- Install the regulator as close as possible to the battery.
• Start battery (optinal):
Using a 5 Amp. fuse, connect 'start +' directly to the '+' of the start battery. (2.5 mm
• Temperature sensor (optinal):
Connect the cables of the Temp. Sensor to the corresponding inputs (
• Solar display (optional):
Connect the Solar Display to the corresponding input (
Warning: Do not connect whilst under voltage.
Warning: When installing a SPS 220 regulator, protect the installation with a 20Amp fuse on the «+» line between the
regulator and the cell battery. When installing a SPS 330 regulator, protect the installation with a 30Amp fuse on the
«+» line between the regulator and the cell battery. Connect the '-' to the ground.
Warning: you must install a 5 Amp. fuse on the 'start +' line between the regulator and the start-battery.
