5 Sentry Range of Automatic Battery Chargers Float Charging 3A or 12V - 3A or 24V Simple, low cost design Lead Acid or Ni-Cd calibrations Optional boost mode Optional charge fail relay output Description The Sentry range provides automatic, current limited and thyristor controlled charging of vented lead acid or NiCd batteries. The units may be used in a wide range of industrial charging applications, including standby engines, pumps and generators.the charger uses an open frame construction, designed for surface mounting in an enclosed panel. Each unit consists of a transformer, rectifier and control circuit. The control circuit ensures that the charger maintains a battery voltage at the pre-calibrated float level, whilst supplying any additional loads current up to the specified maximum. When used as a float charger the unit is designed to give a constant current output up to its knee point (approx. 13V on a 12V LA) at which point the current will ramp down as the battery reaches it s float voltage giving an optimum charge time to ensure that the battery voltage is maintained at the pre-calibrated float level. Boost option A 'boost' mode of operation provides increased voltage output. Selection of boost mode is a link via two terminals, allowing activation by a time delay relay or switch. The calibration table over leaf shows details of float and boost voltages. Charge fail option A self diagnostic 'charge fail' circuit and relay output is provided. The volt free relay de-energises in the event of a charging fault or loss of AC input.

17 Sentinel series Automatic switch mode battery chargers High rate float charging: 5 or 12 VDC, 24VDC Automatic charge regulation Light, compact design Short circuit and reverse polarity protection Temperature compensation Auto Boost models Fault output options Description The Sentinel is a highly efficient, high performance charger, designed for continuous float charging and standby battery applications. Switch mode technology provides major advances in power supply and battery charger design, giving a compact and lightweight construction, improved efficiency and low heat dissipation, wide supply voltage tolerance and low output ripple. Sentinel chargers are configured for fast, accurate charging, to give optimum battery life and reliability. The very smooth output (< 1% ripple) allows charging of sealed or vented batteries e.g. Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Lead Acid sealed (VRLA), vented and Plante cells or use as a stand-alone power supply. Sentinel features an intelligent, multi-stage charge regime: during charge recovery mode, the charger gives a constant (maximum) current output; as the battery approaches peak charge, the output reverts to float charge mode, maintaining an optimum cell voltage and supplying additional standing load current up to the specified maximum. The Sentinel range is available in two variants: SNS models provide basic charging; SNL models provide higher specification features and options. Auto Boost SNL models include an Auto boost feature. Auto boost provides a temporary increase in output voltage, equalising the battery charge between cells and maximising battery life and capacity. Auto boost is triggered automatically when the battery falls below a preset voltage. On MB option chargers, Auto Boost can be initiated manually by linking two boost terminals, e.g. via a panel switch or momentary push button. Once the batteries have reached the boost voltage level, Sentinel reverts to its normal float charge mode, preventing battery over-charge and gassing. Temperature compensation The optimum charge voltage for lead acid and NiCd batteries varies with ambient temperature. All SNS and SNL models are fitted with on-board temperature sensing and output compensation (3mV/cell decrease for each C increase). For even greater temperature accuracy, TC option units are supplied with a remotely connected Product specifications power supply: supply voltage, operating frequency DC charge output: 120 V units: 240 V units: SNS70 SNL70 (12V) SNS140 SNL140 (24V) V ac V ac Hz SNL140 (12V) maximum current limit nominal voltage line regulation +/ 1% load regulation +/ 1% output ripple < 1% float / boost voltages see table overleaf fault outputs: charge fail (CF option) / alarm (A option) output general: operating temperature humidity dimensions weight: SNS, SNL EMC emission / immunity negative DC during fault (switched SPNC contact, relay de-energising on fault), rated 1A 30 VDC (resistive load) -20 to +55 C 20% to 90% RH see table overleaf 0.55 Kg / 1.2lb, 0.6 Kg / 1.3lb EN / EN temperature sensor and 3 metre lead assembly (other lengths available to special order). Alarm output SNS and SNL models are available with an optional CF charge fail relay output. For more comprehensive fault warning, the SNL A (alarm) option provides an output for signalling of DC fuse failure, high or low battery voltage, or AC supply/fuse failure. Installation and connection Circuit board connection is via screw terminal blocks. The circuit board and protective cover are mounted on a baseplate/heatsink, designed for surface mounting in an enclosed control panel.

19 Enclosed Sentinel series Automatic switch mode battery chargers High rate float charging: 5 or 12 VDC, 24VDC Automatic charge regulation Stainless steel, wall mounted enclosure with ammeter Temperature compensation Auto boost models Fault output options Description The Enclosed Sentinel is a highly efficient, high performance charger, designed for continuous float charging and standby battery applications. Switch mode technology provides major advances in power supply and battery charger design, giving a compact and lightweight construction, improved efficiency and low heat dissipation, wide supply voltage tolerance and low output ripple. Sentinel chargers are configured for fast, accurate charging, to give optimum battery life and reliability. The very smooth output (< 1% ripple) allows charging of sealed or vented batteries e.g. Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Lead Acid sealed (VRLA), vented and Plante cells or use as a stand-alone power supply. Sentinel features an intelligent, multi-stage charge regime: during charge recovery mode, the charger gives a constant (maximum) current output; as the battery approaches peak charge, the output reverts to float charge mode, maintaining an optimum cell voltage and supplying additional standing load current up to the specified maximum. The Enclosed Sentinel range is available in two variants: ESNS models provide basic charging; ESNL models provide higher specification features and options. Auto Boost SNL models include an Auto boost feature. Auto boost provides a temporary increase in output voltage, equalising the battery charge between cells and maximising battery life and capacity. Auto boost is triggered automatically when the battery falls below a preset voltage. On MB option chargers, autoboost can be initiated manually by linking two boost terminals, e.g. via a panel switch or momentary push button. Once the batteries have reached the boost voltage level, Sentinel reverts to its normal float charge mode, preventing battery over-charge and gassing. Temperature compensation The optimum charge voltage for lead acid and NiCd batteries varies with ambient temperature. All models are fitted with on-board temperature sensing and output compensation (3mV/cell decrease for each C increase).

33 Linear Equipment Range of Automatic Battery Chargers Float Charging 6V or 12V - 24V VRLA or vented lead acid (shown in protective cover) Low Ripple Description The Linear Equipment Charger is a highly efficient high performance charger. The very smooth output is configured for accurate fast charging, optimum battery life and reliability. The charger is designed to cater for continuous float charging and standby battery applications when used in it s manual boost mode. Due to its very smooth output (< 1% ripple) the charger is suitable for VRLA or vented lead acid batteries. The charger has a jumper switchable between two modes of operation, auto 3 stage (jumper off) and manual boost mode (jumper on) as outlined below - Auto 3 Stage Operation The output current of the charger is limited to a low value until the battery reaches a specific voltage, preventing high charge current if a cell is shorted. Above this level the bulk charge phase starts supplying maximum current to the battery. This is indicated by the yellow bulk LED. This continues until the bulk voltage is reached when the current will start to fall. When it has fallen to 10% of the maximum bulk current the float phase will begin, indicated by the green float LED. Manual Boost Operation The charger will give a constant current output up to its knee point (13V on a 12V LA) at which point the current will ramp down as the battery reaches it's float voltage (see graph below).

35 CVR12 & CVR24 DC Voltage Monitoring Units Battery under voltage relay Battery over voltage relay Delay on under voltage 11 Pin relay format Monitors its own supply Description BATTERY / DC VOLTAGE MONITORING UNITS 11 PIN PLUG-IN TYPE These units have been configured to monitor the voltage of their own DC supply. They are particularly suited to applications where an auxiliary supply is either unavailable or undesirable. For instance, when monitoring the float voltage of a standby battery system. The trip levels are factory set at the customer specified levels. Each unit contains 2 single pole change-over relays, one for under voltage and one for over voltage. The under voltage relay can be delayed for seconds, and de-energises on fault. The over voltage relay has no delay and energises on fault. Under Voltage If the voltage falls below the low voltage set point, the override delay timer is activated. Failure of the voltage to rise above the set point for the duration of the timer will cause the under voltage relay to de-energise indicating a fault. The relay will remain de-energised until the voltage rises above the set point. Over Voltage If the voltage rises above the high voltage set point, the high voltage relay will energise. The relay will remain energised until the voltage drops below the high voltage set point.

37 LVD12 & LVD24 DC Voltage Monitoring Units Battery under voltage relay Delay on battery disconnect voltage 11 Pin relay format Monitors its own supply Description BATTERY / DC VOLTAGE MONITORING UNITS 11 PIN PLUG-IN TYPE These units have been configured to monitor the voltage of their own DC supply. They are particularly suited to applications where a load is applied to the battery, with no charge present, i.e. battery back up system, where the battery is supplying the load in the event of a mains failure. To prevent irreversible damage to the batteries this unit will give a signal to disconnect the batteries at a safe set point. The trip level is factory set at the customer specified levels. Each unit contains a single pole change-over relay for battery disconnect voltage which can be delayed for seconds and de-energises on low volts. Battery Disconnect Voltage If the voltage falls below the low voltage set point, the override delay timer is activated. Failure of the voltage to rise above the set point for the duration of the timer, will cause the relay to de-energise. The relay will remain de-energised until the voltage rises above the set point value, plus an additional 2 volts; i.e. if set point is 10VDC, relay will re-energise at 12VDC thereby preventing the battery being reconnected below a safe operating level.

73 SW6 NiMH/NiCd Charger Automatic Battery Chargers 6 different nominal voltages For use with 5-25 cell packs Fully automatic charge regulation Free standing desk top design Description The SW6 is a highly efficient high performance charger with a most versatile performance which utilises switchmode technology that provides low heat dissipation and a compact low weight design. Due to its very smooth output (< 1% ripple) the charger is suitable for all types of sealed NiCD and NiMH batteries. The charger provides a controlled current output whilst monitoring the cell voltage and cell temperature. The number of cells being charged is selectable via a 6 position switch (see overleaf for standard switch calibration). When the charged voltage is reached the charger switches from it s high current bulk charging mode to a low current trickle charge, full indication is provided of charging state by LED indiction. If a standing load is present and the cell voltage drops below 1.41Vpc the high rate bulk charge stage will be automatically initiated. Cell Temperature Protection The unit features a thermal protection circuit which allows monitoring of the cell temperature. If the cells rise to above 45C the charger switches to it s low current trickle charge. This gives added protection to cell life and performance by, (a) preventing full bulk current charging if batteries have been used in a high rate discharge situation, and the cell temperature had increased above the maximum charging temperature of 45C, or (b) prevent thermal runaway if a shorted cell is present which would under normal conditions mean the pack would never reach final charged voltage and the charger would continuously supply maximum bulk current.

89 Sentry UL Battery Charger Installation Instructions GENERAL INFORMATION Please read the following information before installing. A visual inspection of this product for damage during shipping is recommended before installation. It is your responsibility to ensure that qualified mechanical and electrical technicians install this product. If in doubt, please contact your local Computronic representative. Product Specification Power Supply: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT Disconnect all electrical power to the charger nominal operating voltages permissible voltage variation nominal operating frequency 120V Units 240V Units ± 6% of nominal 50/60Hz Make sure the charger cannot operate during installation Follow all safety warnings of charger and battery manufacturers Read and follow all installation instructions Description The Sentry UL range provides automatic, current limited and voltage controlled charging of vented lead acid or NiCd batteries. The units may be used in a wide range of industrial charging applications, including standby engines, pumps and generators. The charger is supplied in either an open frame construction, designed for surface mounting in an enclosed panel or as a wall mounted enclosure with charging indication via an ammeter. Each unit consists of a transformer, rectifier and thyristor control circuit. The control circuit ensures that the charger maintains a battery voltage at the pre-calibrated float level, while supplying any additional load current up to the specified maximum. Auto Boost (Equalising) Operation Auto boost operation provides an increased output voltage when batteries are below a preset point. Once the batteries have reached the boost voltage the charger reverts to its float voltage. This operation equalises the batteries, maximising battery life and capacity. Boost Initiate Operation The boost initiate switch forces the charger to enter an auto boost cycle (see above) even if battery voltage is above the preset point, once this operation is completed the charger returns to it s float voltage. Temperature Compensation The remote temperature compensation provides control of the output voltage based upon temperature, as temperature increases the charging voltage is decreased at a negative coefficient of 3mV/ C/Cell. Charge fail option A self diagnostic 'charge fail' circuit and relay output is provided. The volt free relay de-energises in the event of a charging fault. Electrical connection of the AC and DC supply and alarms are via spring-clamp terminals. (For more information on these terminals see Computronic Controls Product Change Ref: CCL PC Release 1 - April03) DC Charge Output: maximum current ADC 5 10 nominal voltage VDC float / boost voltages These are factory preset for specified batteries, typical settings are as follows: - Float Voltage 12V 24V Vented Lead Acid 13.7V 27.2V 12V 10 Cell 24V 20 Cell NiCad 14.1V 28.2V Boost Voltage 12V 24V Vented Lead Acid 14.1V 28.2V 12V 10 Cell 24V 20 Cell NiCad 14.6V 29.2V Charge Fail Output: relay type contact rating General: volt free SPDT contacts relay de-energised on fault 30VDC (resistive load) transformer Single Phase 50-60Hz Class 130 operating temperature -10 to +55 C OPEN FRAME MODELS SUL 100 dimensions weight SUL 120 dimensions weight 148mm/5.8 (L) x 110mm/4.3 (W) x 110mm/4.3 (H) 2.6Kg / 5.525lbs 168mm/6.6 (L) x 110mm/4.3 (W) x 123mm/4.8 (H) 6.4Kg / 13.6lbs WALL MOUNTED ENCLOSURE MODELS ESUL 100 dimensions weight 281mm/11.1 (L) x 140mm/5.5 (W) x 115mm/4.5 (H) 5.6Kg / 11.9lbs ESUL 120 dimensions 281mm/11.1 (L) x 140mm/5.5 (W) x 115mm/4.5 (H) weight 9.4Kg / 19.98lbs EMC emission / immunity EN / EN Sentry Iss7 Installation Instructions - December 03 - Page 3 of 6

91 IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before operating the battery charger, ensure that the charger is assembled and installed as per the section listed in these instructions. Terminal Connection Information OUTPUT INPUT CHARGE FAIL BOOST + - N L O.I. Com N/O N/C Output: Input: Charge Fail: Boost: To battery CAUTION: Observe correct polarity AC supply CAUTION: Observe correct voltage as stated on unit O.I. - Output Inhibit (will prevent unit from showing charge fail in case of overvoltage from alternator) Com - Common N/O - Normally Open N/C - Normally Closed (See notes on connection of charge fail - see right) Boost Initiate - Linking these two connectors will force the charger from into a single boost cycle of operation. (Once the charger has completed a single boost cycle as outlined on page 1 of these instructions the charger returns to it s normal mode of operation) Stripped wire is introduced just before the clamping unit. The clamp spring is pressed down and wire is introduced into the clamping unit immediately The clamp spring is released - the conductor is automatically clamped NB. All connections, including AC input and DC output are made via spring-clamp connections as outlined above. Connection to Mains Supply: Ensure supply is isolated before connection is made to charging unit Ensure unit is properly earthed at earth stud on chargers metal chassis CAUTION: Ensure correct AC voltage is supplied to unit, applying 230VAC on a 115VAC unit will destroy it and could cause serious personal injury. Connection to Batteries: Ensure mains supply is isolated before connecting charger to batteries Ensure battery type and voltage are correct before connecting to batteries WARNING: Charging either different voltage or type of batteries from stated type may result in damage to both the charging unit and/or batteries and could result in serious personal injury. Disconnection of Batteries: Ensure mains supply is isolated before disconnecting charger from batteries WARNING: Disconnecting the batteries whilst mains supply is connected to the charger could result in a spark at battery terminals, this could ignite the hydrogen given off from the batteries. Boost Initiate Connection: The charger will be in it s normal mode of operation whilst the boost link is broken, upon connecting the two boost initiate terminals the charger will perform a single auto-boost cycle, whereby the charger outputs a higher voltage, once battery voltage has reached this point, the charger returns to it s normal float mode of operation. Charge Fail Connection: In a de-energised state the COM - N/C contact is alarmed. The relay energises on power up and changes state to COM - N/O. These contacts are volt-free contacts rated at 30VDC. Fuses: The wall mounted enclosure models are fitted with internal mains input fuses at the stated ratings (see F1 in above), the open frame models must be fitted with an external mains fuse at ratings shown (see F1 in above). Before replacing any fuses, ensure charger is isolated from mains supply. All Sentry UL (SUL & ESUL) models are fitted with a self-resetting polyfuse on the dc output. If reverse polarity or short circuit faults are made, isolate supply, disconnect the outputs and allow fuse to self-reset. The charger can then be re-connected and switched back on. No replacement of output fuse should be necessary. If fuse fails to reset, the charger should be returned to supplier. AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER The Sentry UL range is an automatic battery charger, if battery voltage falls below a preset voltage (10.2V on a 12V lead-acid battery) the charger will automatically enter an increased charging voltage state (boost). Once the batteries have reached this point, the charger will switch to it s normal float voltage. this prevents over-charge, which inturn prevents the battery from over-gassing and subsequently maximises battery life. WARNING: The Sentry UL range is not USER SERVICEABLE. No attempt should be made to replace or repair the charger, any attempt to do so may invalidate any warranties and could cause serious personal harm or injury as well as damage to both the battery charger and any connected devices. In event of failure the charger should be returned to supplier. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH. Before connection, disconnection or handling of SENTRY battery charger, ensure that all AC power supplies are isolated. Connection to or disconnection from live wiring can also cause damage to internal components. Sentry Iss7 Installation Instructions - December 03 - Page 5 of 6

97 IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before operating the battery charger, ensure that the charger is assembled and installed as per the section listed in these instructions. Terminal Connection Information OUTPUT - + BOOST CHARGE FAIL Com N/O N/C OVER VOLTS UNDER VOLTS Com N/O N/C Com N/O N/C INPUT N L Output: To battery CAUTION: Observe correct polarity Input: AC supply CAUTION: Observe correct voltage as stated on unit ALARM INDICATION - Over Voltage, Under Voltage and Charge Fail Com - Common N/O - Normally Open N/C - Normally Closed (See notes on connection of alarms - see right) Boost: Boost Initiate - Linking these two connectors will force the charger from into a single boost cycle of operation. (Once the charger has completed a single boost cycle as outlined on page 3 of these instructions the charger returns to it s normal mode of operation) Stripped wire is introduced just before the clamping unit. The clamp spring is pressed down and wire is introduced into the clamping unit immediately The clamp spring is released - the conductor is automatically clamped NB. All connections, including AC input and DC output are made via spring-clamp connections as outlined above. Connection to Mains Supply: Ensure supply is isolated before connection is made to charging unit Ensure unit is properly earthed at earth stud on chargers metal chassis CAUTION: Ensure correct AC voltage is supplied to unit, applying 240VAC on a 120VAC unit will destroy it and could cause serious personal injury. Connection to Batteries: Ensure mains supply is isolated before connecting charger to batteries Ensure battery type and voltage are correct before connecting to batteries WARNING: Charging either different voltage or type of batteries from stated type may result in damage to both the charging unit and/or batteries and could result in serious personal injury. Disconnection of Batteries: Ensure mains supply is isolated before disconnecting charger from batteries WARNING: Disconnecting the batteries whilst mains supply is connected to the charger could result in a spark at battery terminals, this could ignite the hydrogen given off from the batteries. Boost Initiate Connection: The charger will be in it s normal mode of operation whilst the boost link is broken, upon connecting the two boost initiate terminals the charger will perform a single auto-boost cycle, whereby the charger outputs a higher voltage, once battery voltage has reached this point, the charger returns to it s normal float mode of operation. Over Voltage, Under Voltage and Charge Fail Connection: In a de-energised state the COM - N/C contact is alarmed. The relay energises on power up and changes state to COM - N/O. These contacts are volt-free contacts rated at 30VDC. Fuses: All Guardian models are fitted with mains input fuses at the required ratings (see markings on chargers). Before replacing any fuses, ensure charger is isolated from mains supply. The G150 12V, EG150 12V, G300 12V, EG300 12V, G300 24V and EG300 24V models are fitted with a self-resetting polyfuse on the dc output. If reverse polarity or short circuit faults are made, isolate supply, disconnect the outputs and allow fuse to self-reset. The charger can then be re-connected and switched back on. No replacement of output fuse should be necessary. If fuse fails to reset, the charger should be returned to supplier. The G600 and EG600 models are fitted with an Automotive type blade fuse. Ensure correct rating when replacing fuses. AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER The Guardian range is an automatic battery charger, if battery voltage falls below a preset voltage (12.2V on a 12V lead-acid battery) the charger will automatically enter an increased charging voltage state (boost). Once the batteries have reached this point, the charger will switch to it s normal float voltage. this prevents over-charge, which inturn prevents the battery from over-gassing and subsequently maximises battery life. WARNING: The Guardian range is not USER SERVICEABLE. No attempt should be made to replace or repair the charger, any attempt to do so may invalidate any warranties and could cause serious personal harm or injury as well as damage to both the battery charger and any connected devices. In event of failure the charger should be returned to supplier. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH. Before connection, disconnection or handling of GUARDIAN battery charger, ensure that all AC power supplies are isolated. Connection to or disconnection from live wiring can also cause damage to internal components. Guardian Installation Instructions - April 04 - Page 5 of 6
