Setting Up The Charger; Connection Requirements; Connection To The 230V Single-Phase Mains Supply; Connection To The 400V Three-Phase Mains Supply - HOPPECKE trak power E230 G24/30 BF-14 HOHF Instrucciones De Instalacion Y Uso

• Never move the charger when it is in operation.
• Do not use the charger in a damaged condition, or with a dama-
ged power cable or plug. If it is necessary to replace the power
cable, please contact our Customer Services department.
• If the charger is not functioning correctly, first record the observed
fault and note down the rating plate details (important: serial
number and charger designation). Then remove the plug from the
socket before calling Customer Services.
• Never disassemble and/or repair the charger yourself. Only our
Customer Services team can ensure a reliable and safe repair.
• Failure to observe these safety instructions and the operating
instructions may lead to faults, material damage or personal
injury. In addition, any claim under warranty will be void.

4. Setting up the charger

In setting up the battery charger, adequate ventilation should be
provided, with at least 5cm clearance to the right, left and rear of
the unit. The air intake in the base of the charger must not be
obstructed. The metal casing of the charger is suitable for floor
mounting or fitting to a brick or stone wall (installation kit may be
ordered from HOPPECKE). Generally, the charger must be installed
above the charging battery. For use in dusty environments, wall
mounting is necessary, to avoid excessive dust from being sucked
into the charger. In extremely dusty conditions, the charger may be
used only with the dust filter option. Never stack chargers on top of
one another, nor place objects on top of the charger.

5. Connection requirements

5.1 Connection to the single-phase 230V mains supply
Single-phase chargers are suitable for a mains voltage of 230 V,
50/60 Hz, single-phase, and are provided with a 2.5 metre long
cable with safety plug.
Important safety warning: The mains plug must be connected to an
earthed socket. This charger is able to compensate for supply
voltage variations of ±10%.
5.2 Connection to the three-phase 400V mains supply
The 3-phase chargers are suitable for a mains voltage of 400 V,
50/60 Hz, 3-phase. They are provided with a 2.5 metre long,
4 strand power cable (L1, L2, L3, N, earth) and standard CEE plug.
Important safety warning: The mains plug must be connected to an
earthed socket. This charger is able to compensate for supply
voltage variations of ±10%.

5.3 Connection of the charging cable to the battery

The chargers are provided with charging cables marked red (+)
and black (-). Output cable volt-drop is automatically calculated by
the charging electronics. In the event of replacement, or any changes
to cross-section or length of the output cables, HOPPECKE Customer
Services must be contacted to avoid any consequential damage
to the battery. The charging cable may be supplied complete with
charging plug.
WARNING: Battery voltage must conform to the voltage for which
the charger is designed.

6. Operating instructions

The charger may now be connected. Please insert the mains plug
into the socket quickly. To prevent risk of fire, the plug must be
inserted completely. The charger is now ready for operation and
indicates standby status by the blue LED or the blue background
light of the LCD read-out. The charger has reverse polarity protection.
Nevertheless, please make a point of checking the positive
and negative polarity when connecting. Always make sure that the
charger plug connector is fully engaged with the battery plug to
avoid damage from a poor connection.
If a fixed plug connection is not used, please note the following
points:
Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal, and the nega tive
cable to the negative terminal.
Charging starts after a random delay of between 3 and 10 seconds.
To utilise off-peak power, a delayed start of charging of up to 10 hours
may be programmed. In this connection, please note the total
charging time of the battery (1 h, 2 h, 5 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h).
WARNING! If it is necessary to disconnect the battery before char-
ging is completed: Disconnection when current is flowing can lead
to explosion, if it occurs within the distance (EN 50272-3) of
50 cm from the charged battery. It is therefore absolutely essential
that the STOP button is actuated first to prevent arcing at the char-
ger/battery plug.

7. Modes of operation

Standby: The power LED line is blue. Ready to charge the
battery.
Charging process: When the battery is connected, charging starts
automatically after a random delay of between
3 and 20 seconds. The power LED line is yellow.
Charging ended: Charging is automatically terminated at the correct
point. The power LED line shows green.
STOP: Charging may be interrupted at any time by
pressing the STOP button. Never disconnect the
battery without first pressing the STOP button –
risk of explosion and damage to charging plug.
Fault: The power LED line shows red: battery fault.
The power LED line flashes red: charger fault.
