6. Configuración e instalación

Follow these steps for proper installation of your BAC06A charger.

6.1 Montaxe

• Select a dry, well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials.
• Ensure there is sufficient space around the charger for air circulation.
• Mount the charger securely using the mounting holes provided on its base.

6.2 Conexións de cableado

Refer to Figure 2 for terminal locations. Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and potential hazards.

1. Conexión da batería:
   • Connect the battery's positive (+) terminal to the charger's B+ terminal.
   • Connect the battery's negative (-) terminal to the charger's B- terminal.
   • Important: Double-check polarity before connecting.
2. Conexión de entrada de CA:
   • Connect the Live (L) wire of your AC power supply to the charger's L terminal.
   • Connect the Neutral (N) wire of your AC power supply to the charger's N terminal.
   • Ensure the AC power source is within the specified range of 95-280VAC.

7. Funcionamento

Once properly installed and wired, the BAC06A charger is ready for operation.

7.1 Encendido inicial

1. After all connections are made, apply AC power to the charger.
2. O LED de enerxía should illuminate, indicating that the charger is receiving power.
3. If a battery is connected and requires charging, the LED de carga tamén iluminará.

7.2 voltage Axuste

O vol. De cargatage can be adjusted to match specific battery requirements. This adjustment should be performed with the battery disconnected from the charger.

1. Disconnect the battery from the charger's B- and B+ terminals.
2. Apply AC power to the charger.
3. Using a voltmeter, measure the output voltage across the B- and B+ terminals.
4. Xire coidadosamente o VOLTS ADJ. potentiometer (refer to Figure 2) until the desired voltage is achieved. For a 24V system, the typical float charge voltage é de aproximadamente 27.6 V.
5. Once adjusted, disconnect AC power and reconnect the battery.

7.3 Axuste de corrente

The charging current can also be adjusted. This is typically done when the battery voltage is below 25.0V (for a 24V system).

1. Ensure the battery is connected and the charger is powered on.
2. Se a batería voltage is below 25.0V, the charger will be in constant current mode.
3. Using an ammeter in series with the battery, measure the charging current.
4. Xire coidadosamente o AMP ADJ. potentiometer (refer to Figure 2) to set the desired charging current. The maximum charge current for the 24V model is 3A.

8. Mantemento

The Smartgen BAC06A charger is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and performance.

• Limpeza: Keep the charger clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Conexións: Periodically check all wiring connections (AC input and DC output) to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Ventilación: Ensure that the ventilation holes on the charger are not obstructed to allow for proper heat dissipation.
• Condicións ambientais: Verifique que o ambiente de funcionamento se manteña dentro dos rangos de temperatura e humidade especificados.

9 Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your BAC06A charger, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• Charger Not Powering On (Power LED Off):
  • Comprobe a fonte de alimentación de entrada de CA.
  • Verify the AC input wiring (L and N terminals).
  • Inspect the internal fuse (10A). If blown, replace with a fuse of the same rating.
• Charging LED Not Illuminating:
  • Asegúrate de que a batería estea conectada correctamente coa polaridade correcta.
  • Comprobe o vol. da bateríatage. If the battery is fully charged, the charging LED may not illuminate as the charger enters float mode.
  • Verify the charging voltage setting using the VOLTS ADJ. potentiometer.
• Baixa corrente de carga:
  • Comproba o AMP ADJ. potentiometer setting.
  • Ensure the battery is not already near full charge.

If problems persist after performing these checks, please contact your supplier or a qualified technician for assistance.
