CHARGEMASTER 12/10 & 24/6
Product description and application
The ChargeMaster 12/10 and ChargeMaster 24/06
are battery chargers for charging and maintaining
the charged condition of lead batteries and
supplying users connected to the battery in
permanent installations.
12/10 and ChargeMaster 24/06 are protected
against water spraying and dust.
Installation and instructions for use
1. Due to possible moisture accumulation and
optimal heat discharge, the ChargeMaster
battery charger must be installed in a well-
ventilated room as close as possible to the
batteries. We advise to mount the unit on a flat
metal surface with the connecting cables
downward.
2. See figure 2. Connect the cable eyes to the
battery to be charged: the minus cable (black) to
the minus (–) pole of the battery, the plus cable
(red) to the plus (+) pole of the battery.
3. Plug the AC mains cable into the wall socket.
The battery charger will now commence the
charging cycle.
Indications
The charger is equipped with a green LED indicator
(2) that flashes when the unit is charging. The
indicator remains lit continuously to indicate that a
charging cycle has been completed (float). If the
indicator is off while the plug of the AC-cable is
connected to the mains, contact your supplier.
Settings
See figure 1. There are 3 jumpers (3, 4, 5) on the
side of the mains and battery cables for specific
applications of the charger. If necessary, the
jumpers can be removed with small tongs or
tweezers.
If jumper (3) is removed, the output voltage will
be increased to compensate the voltage drop in
case a battery isolator (diode) is used to charge
several batteries.
If jumper (4) is removed, the charger is suitable
for charging gel / AGM batteries (high float).
If jumper (5) is removed, the charger only
functions as a drop charger (force float).
Via plug (1) various settings can be adjusted in
terms of software to your specific wishes (control
software and interface not included). This plug
can also be used for external warning systems.
Check the Internet site www.mastervolt.com for
applications. Please mind that this plug is not
intended for connecting a battery temperature
sensor.
