3. Bedienungsanleitung
Once properly installed and connected, the ChargeMaster Plus operates largely automatically. The 3-step+ charging method ensures optimal charging for your batteries.
3.1 Einschalten
Connect the AC input power to the ChargeMaster Plus. The unit will initiate its startup sequence and begin assessing the connected batteries.
3.2 Ladevorgang
The 3-step+ charging method consists of:
- Bulk Phase: Charges the battery with maximum current until the voltage reaches a preset level.
- Absorption Phase: Charges the battery with constant voltage, gradually reducing current as the battery approaches full charge.
- Float Phase: Hält die Batterie auf einer sicheren Spannungtage, compensating for self-discharge and ensuring the battery remains fully charged.
- Plus Phase (Maintenance): Periodically re-activates the absorption phase to prevent sulfation and equalize cells, extending battery life.
The unit automatically detects the battery type and adjusts charging parameters accordingly. For advanced configuration, such as specific battery types or charging profiles, a MasterBus USB interface and Windows computer may be required. This interface is not included with the product.
