Specifications
Features Operating Characteristics
Note: All plug-in design have 39” (1m) leads. All desktop design have 59” (1.5m) input leads and 39” (1m) output leads.
• I.C. based voltage and current regulation designed for sealed
(valve-regulated) lead-acid batteries
• Useable on domestic and overseas input voltages from
110VAC - 60Hz to 240VAC - 50Hz, except for the PSC-
1210000A-C, see charger selection guide
• Automatic, current sensing dual-rate charging for
efficient, care-free and safe operation
• L.E.D.s indicate ‘power on’ and “FAST” and “FLOAT”
charging modes
• Lightweight wall mounted plug-in or desk top design with
screw type output terminals, depending on output current
• Connectors to the battery for all A-C charger models are
alligator clips with insulated sleeves, with the exception of
the PSC-1210000A-C which uses automotive style clamp
connectors
• Protected against accidental reverse polarity connection
• U.L. and European C.E. approval
“A-C” series chargers are new “switching” type devices which
operate without the use of transformers. I.C.’s control and
regulate current and voltage and automatically switch from
the higher fast charge voltage to the lower float voltage when
batteries are very close to being fully charged. At the float
voltage it is safe to leave the battery connected to the charger
indefinitely, making charging pretty much fool-proof.
In the fast charge mode voltage goes up to 2.45V +/- 0.05V
before switching, in the float charge mode voltage is held
between 2.25- 2.30V/cell.
This charger is ideal for cyclic applications where recharge time
is critical and timely charge termination cannot be counted on.
This charger ensures optimum battery performance & service life.
A-C SERIES SWITCH-MODE CHARGERS
FOR SLA BATTERIES
Recharge time depends on the depth of the preceding
discharge and the output current of the charger. To
determine the approximate recharge time of a fully
discharged battery, divide the battery’s amp. hrs. by
the rated output current of the charger and multiply
the resulting number of hours by a factor of 1.75 to
compensate for the declining output current during the
charge cycle. If the amount of amp. hrs. discharged
from the battery is known, use it instead of the battery’s
capacity to make the calculation.
To ensure safe and efcient operation always refer to
our Charger Operating Instructions, as published on our
website.
When charging batteries in series (positive terminal
of one battery is connected to negative of the other) all
batteries in the string will receive the same amount of
charge current, individual battery voltages may vary.
When charging batteries in parallel (positive terminals
are connected with positive terminals, negative terminals
with negative), all batteries in the string are subject to the
same charge voltage, but the charge current each battery
receives can and will vary until equalization is reached.
Notes
Charger Selection Guide
*Please note, the PSC-1210000A-C uses clamp connectors and is only available for use with input voltages of 90-132V 60 Hz. This charger is ideally suited for batteries from 40-100AH.
