Integrated functions
Description of the integrated functions:

Programmable float/boost charge change over
If the battery voltage lowers due to mains failure or any other circumstances the rectifier unit
will work in current limitation. If it operates for more than 30 seconds after the charge start it
will automatically be switched over to the boost charge characteristic. After the boost charge
voltage (current limitation) has been reached and after decreasing to < 90 %, a time stage will
be activated. Upon expiration of the adjusted time it will automatically be switched back to
float charge. The time can be adjusted between 0 and a maximum of 6 hours. If no increased
boost charge characteristic is requested it can be blocked on the controller.
By an external contact or a fixed bridge at the regulator the float/boost charge change over
can be blocked, and a switch over to the boost charge characteristic can be prevented.

Equalise charge stage
It is possible to switch on an equalise charge stage via a push-button on the regulator card.

Here the voltage limitation will be abolished and the nominal unit current will be reduced to
20 - 30 % (adjustable). Now an equalise charge follows with an I-characteristic up to the final
charge voltage of the battery. By switching on the equalise charge, a timer will be activated,
which automatically switches back to float charge on expiration of the adjusted time (16
hours or 72 hours).
By use of an external contact or a fixed bridge at the regulator, the equalise charge can be
blocked and a switch over to the I-characteristic can be prevented.
The three possible modes of operation are indicated by LED's on the front door of the rectifier
unit.

Mains monitoring
In cases of a phase or mains failure, an electronic regulator block will be activated and the
alarm mains fault will be indicated. If the mains voltage is returned, the regulator block will
be stopped, the rectifier unit will function again and the LED mains present will illuminate.

Charger output monitoring
The charger output monitoring is a current-dependent low voltage monitoring and monitors
the IU-characteristic of the rectifier unit.
If the charger output voltage falls below a set value of, e. g. 2.1 V/cell and the output current
falls below 90 % of the rated current the alarm will activate and the LED unit fault will
illuminate.
Furthermore it is possible to include external monitoring such as ripple monitoring or fuse
monitoring into the unit's fault alarm.

High voltage monitoring
If the output voltage rises too high (value is adjustable) by an internal or external interference,
over 20 msec, the impulse blocking will be activated and the output voltage will be set to
zero. The high voltage monitoring works as dynamic monitoring with an automatic reset. If
the monitoring responds 4 times within a period of 30 seconds, the impulse blocking will
remain activated and the alarm high voltage will appear.

Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage falls below a set value of , e. g. 1.8 V/cell (value adjustable) during
discharge in a case of a mains failure, the alarm low battery voltage will appear.

Earth fault monitoring
The earth fault monitoring function monitor the isolation resistance of the DC-side.
Plus and minus are monitored alternately. In case of failure it will be indicated by the LEDs
and the common alarm.

Battery circuit test
The battery circuit of the power supply system is tested cyclically.
