1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

INFORM Battery Charger is a high technology equipment, including all protection and control
systems, which is designed and manufactured to convert 1 phase or 3 phase AC voltage to pure and
regulated DC voltage. It provides DC power, which is especially important for industrial, telecom
and military applications.

When this system is used with a battery group at its output, this equipment charges battteries and
acts as a uninterrupted DC power source.

This equipment contains an input isolation transformer and provides full electrical isolation between
input supply and DC output.

This uses all advantages of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) control. It provides advanced user
interface, smart diagnostics and advanced communication features.

When used as battery charger, it can perform battery charge in 3 different modes:

• Float charge

• Equalizing charge

• Boost charge

1.2 OPERATION THEORY

A rectifier programmed for automatic charge starts its charge in equalizing mode, after the AC input
supply is feeded or recovered, with the assumption of that batteries are discharged when the AC
input supply was not available. The equipment can switch from equalizing charge to f loat charge,
only if the output current goes below the ¼ of the nominal current, or if the equalizing charge time
expires.

Rather than this, is automatic charge logic is not requested (for example operation as power supply),
charge mode of the equipment can be set to one of the float or boost charges.

Boost charge is only fort he initial startup of some special kinds of batteries. Boost charge is limited
only by duration.

2. SETUP
2.1 OPENING PACKAGE

When the equipment is delivered to you, first to be examined is a possible damage during transport.
Therefore, examine the equipment carefully. For a possible future use, save the packet and wooden
pad of the rectifier after unpacking.

2.2 CHOOSING PROPER PLACE

1. For a proper ventilation, minimum distance between the rear of the rectifier and any nearby
object should me minimum 20 cm.

2. Choose a place with proper temperature and humidity.

3. Do not choose any place which can cause dust and corrosion.

4. The place chosen should not have direct sunshine and shouldnt be near any heating source.

5. Operating the equipment in proper conditions will increase it lifetime.

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

All electrical connections of the rectifier exist on the back of the front door of the enclosure. All
required connections to connection panel of rectifier should be made by dealers approved service
personnel or by the approval of dealers service personnel.

Before making the connections all power switches, isolators and circuit breakers must be in OFF
position.

Input AC supply should be connected to K1 switch, where DC output supply should be connected
to K2 switch.

In 3 phase devices, input phase sequence is not important. The equipment adaptates itself f or the
incoming phase sequence.

Ground must be connected to the distribution panel.

CAUTION
Connect and control ground (PE) connection. Definitly, the equipment should’nt be operated
without ground connection.

NOTE
In 3 phase input devices, input supply phase sequence and direction is ignorable.

Ver1.2 PAGE : 9
3. OPERATION
3.1 TURNING ON THE EQUIPMENT

1. Apply 1 or 3 phase line voltage from the connected distribution panel to the rectifier, when the
rectifier input breaker K1 is in OFF position.

2. Switch the input breaker K1 to ON position. Rectifier will be energized and welcome message
will be shown on the front panel.
3. With a soft start , the rectifier will start to generate DC output voltage, if automatic startup is
set. (See Section 5, Front Panel)

4. If manual startup is set, the rectifier will wait without generating DC. In this case, push ON
buttons on the front panel.

5. From the rectifier side of the K2 output breaker, control the DC voltage, with a voltmeter.

6. Swicth the K2 output breaker to ON position. Rectifier will feed output loads.

7. Output voltage and output current can be observed via the LCD panel.

3.2 TURNING OFF THE EQUIPMENT

1. Push OFF buttons on the front panel of the rectifier. Rectifier will stop generate DC voltage.

2. Switch input breaker K1 and output breaker K2 to OFF position.

3.3 AUTOMATIC STARTUP

It can be programmed, whether the rectifier starts its operation itself or not, when the AC input
supply is applied. (See Section 5, Front Panel)

A rectifier programmed for automatic startup will automaticly start it operation and generate DC,
when the AC input supply is applied. This option is especially preferred for far installations, where
user intervention is not possible. In this mode, if a trip because of an alarm condition occurs, the
rectifier will atutomaticly restart and generate DC, after the alarm condition is disappered. This
status can be observed by the blinking operation led.

A rectifier programmed for manual startup will wait for the user to push ON buttons to start, af ter
the AC input supply is applied.

4. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
There are no by the user servicable parts inside the equipment, therefore DO NOT OPEN THE
COVER OF THE EQUIPMENT. Because of possible external battery connection and dry contact
relay outputs, THERE MAY BE HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE THE EQUIPMENT, EVEN WHEN
THE RECTIFIER IS TURNED OFF. Do not permit unauthorized persons to intervent any f ailure,
otherwise, the warranty will be void and moreover, significant injury may occour.

Under normal operating conditions only preventative maintenance is required. The intervals
between maintenance actions will vary according to the level of remote monitoring and the standard
of cleanliness of the equipment room.

4.1 PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE

The rectifier equipment is designed for a very minor maintenance requirement. Only fulfil
conditions described below.

1. Clear the dust piled up in ventilation holes of the equipment.

2. You may clean the cover of the equipment with a moist cloth.

3. Record all abnormal occurrences in the service log

4. Visually check electrical connections and component for signs of overheating or corrosion.
Rectify as necessary.

4.2 FAILURES

As mentioned before, only authorized personnel may perform maintenance of the equipment. In any
abnormal situation, before calling service, check the points described below.

4.3 BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

1. Did you read the users manual carefully and followed all directions written ?

2. Is there energy in the distribution panel, to which the rectifier is connected ?

3. Is any of the alarm leds on the front panel active ?

4. Is there a recent change in the load connected to the rectifier ?

5. Was there an overload condition ?

6.1.1 Dry Contact Outputs

Alarm & Communication Interface Board option provides 2 dry contact outputs to the user. Dry
contact outputs can be programmed by the user via the LCD panel or Modbus communication,
depending on the requirement. Although the features of the model is deterministic, the f ollowing
status can be programmed for the dry contact outputs:
