Dual Profile Charge Example 3.2.3.
A Dual Profile allows a battery to
be charged with either of two
profiles depending on how the
charger is configured and how
the profiles are set up.
An example would be a high
demand
battery requiring
opportunity (bulk stage) charging
from a high rate charger during a
shift and a full charge (bulk
charge with finishing stage)
when connected to a standard
charger.
In this scenario, the following
configuration details must be in
place:
1. The battery module is set for
dual profile and the primary
profile appropriately set with
criteria for starting the
secondary profile charge.
(See
Battery Module
Configuration, Section 4)
2. The high rate charger must
be set for APC Enabled
(Dual
Profile Capable)
from the Charger
Configuration tab.
3. The standard charger must
be set for APC Enabled
(Single Profile) from the
Charger Configuration Tab.
4. Alternatively, the high rate
charger may also provide the
secondary profile charge if
left connected following a
primary charge. The charger
will provide a bulk charge
based on the primary profile,
and
follow with the
secondary profile depending
on the selected criteria eg. a
time delay.
3.3. Auto Equalise/Refresh
The Set by Profile option for Auto Equalise requires a number of steps to
configure correctly.
Set by Profile
1. Select Set by Profile in the
Configuration tab.
2. In the Charge Profiles tab,
choose the active charge
profile to modify and use the
Auto EQ/Refresh Options
button to select Profile Auto
Equalise Enable.
3. Check the EQ/Refresh
Current, Duration, and Max
Cell Voltage values are
appropriate.
4. Click Write Profile. The
charger will now perform an
equalise charge according
the EQ/Refresh values saved
in the profile.
 Auto EQ/Refresh After allows
a cool down period before auto-
initiated equalise charges. This
includes Set by Profile, Cycle,
Time or battery module based
initiation.
 EQ/Refresh Lockout enforces
a period of no equalise following
a standard charge completion.
This is a global setting that
applies to manual and any auto-
initialised equalise charges.
Manual Equalise
The charger may be set to perform a one-time equalise charge on a
connected battery.
1. Ensure the battery is
connected. If currently
charging, the charge cycle
can remain in progress.
2. Hold the Enter button on the
charger front panel until the
display confirms an equalise
charge has been set.
