 FUNCTIONING

The CB2 automatic battery charger
controls the voltage of the battery
connected. If this voltage is lower than
1.7 V./c, it stops the complete charge and
outputs a min. reset current.
As soon as 1.7 V/c min. voltage is
reached, this charger activate the max.
complete charge set and self-adjusted.
When 2 V/c charge is reached, a gradual
decrease of current starts until the 2.25
V/c charge is complete (see fig. 1).
When the battery is charged, CB2
accurately limits the holding current by
compensating the battery self-discharge
and possible consumption of the circuits
connected. During its functioning, the
charger holds accurately the parameters
set even with mains variation within a
range of +/- 15%.
In addition to this, this battery charger is
equipped with safety protections against
mains overvoltages up to 4 KV. The
delivery of dangerous voltages to the
output and damages are prevented.
The CB2-B battery charger controls the
current and charge voltage accurately,
thus assuring a battery long life. In fact, if
these values are not controlled, the
overcurrent and overvoltage would cause
the electrolyte resolution to oxygen and
hydrogen. In this way, the high quantity of
oxygen would oxidize the inner plates,
thus reducing its capacity and sulphation
life. In order to avoid these drawbacks,
CB2 carries out the following functions:

In order to avoid any problem the CB2-C has got the following functions:
Complete charge of flat batteries with current limitation and protection against short
circuits;
Automatic current reduction during the charge voltage increase;
Charge current stop as soon as each cell reaches 2.25 V. (figure 1);
Automatic compensation of the battery self-discharge and of other possible
consumption;
Protection against 1.65 V./c self-discharge with signaling and battery charger stop
(figure 1);

INSTALLATION AND USE

CB2-B carries out the 12 V. and 24 V. battery recharge. Since the equipment is delivered
with the battery charger set to 12 V., in order to recharge 24 V. batteries, it is necessary to
change the position of jumpers (A, B, C, D) inside the battery charger (figure 2).

Figure 2

SETTING TO 12 V SETTING TO 24V

The connection of "A" and "B" jumpers to 24 V is signalled by led "24V POWER".

!!!CAUTION!!!
Since the connection state of C and D jumpers is not signalled externally,
before supplying CB2-B with power, you are required to check the correct setting of
jumpers.

INSTALLATION

It is necessary to install CB2-B so as to facilitate the convective circulation of the air --

which is heated by the dissipator --in order to allow a correct cooling of the power circuits
(figure 5).
