Explosion risks:
To avoid risks of explosion caused by sparks, the associated battery should never in any circumstances
be disconnected while it is on charge. Never place the appliance in a place where the atmosphere
itself is explosive (fuel filling station, dust concentration in the air, etc.).
Fire risks:
The appliance should be kept well clear of all flammable material (wood, textiles, plastics, etc.). It
should not be placed on a flammable surface.
Power supply:
The appliance should only be connected to the supply circuit mentioned in this manual and on its
manufacture's plate.
Earth:
This appliance is a class 1 appliance; it must be earthed. Check the condition of the earthing of the
appliance.
Cleaning:
Dusting and cleaning of the appliance should only be done by authorised personnel. Follow the advice
in this manual.
Periods of non-use:
If the appliance is not going to be used for a very long period (more than 3 months), disconnect it
from the mains supply and from the battery. Special precautions should be taken to compensate for
the self-discharge of the battery and for putting the charger / battery combination back into use.
Consult our Service Department.
Maintenance:
The user should not carry out any repairs himself, except for work expressly indicated for him in the
manual. All other repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The associated battery is not concerned by these storage criteria. It is essential that it be stored
protected from sources of heat. According to the manufacturers of industrial batteries temperature
has a considerable effect on self-discharge of the battery, and hence its storage life. In order for the
battery to be easy to recharge after prolonged storage, it is advisable not to store it without
recharging for longer than:
- for "sealed" batteries: 6 months at 20°C or 4 months at 30°C or 2 months at 40°C
- for "open" batteries: 2 months at 20°C or 1 month at 30°C or 2 weeks at 40°C
Failure to respect these recommendations is prejudicial to the service life of the battery, and can lead
to irreversible deterioration. A completely discharged battery may suffer from thermal runaway when
it is recharged.
Storage time evaluation: the limit date for recharging (Manufacturer's data) appears on the battery.
Remember that a discharged battery freezes.
The associated battery falls within these use criteria, however a high temperature has a very serious
effect on its service life.
According to the data from the manufacturers of industrial batteries the service life of a battery is
reduced by 50% for every 10°C over 20°C.
However the temperature compensation of the floating voltage (provided as standard for "sealed"
batteries) enables this deterioration to be reduced to 35%.
NB: The service life of a battery is defined by a permanent loss of 20% of the initial capacity of the
battery.

The unit comprises an assembly of folded sheet steel parts providing accessibility by the front to all
parts that can be changed.
The front panel is closed by a door.
II.5.1 De-palletisation
The cabinet is fixed to the wooden pallet by 2 (or 4 according to the size) fixing screws. Access to the
front screws is possible after removing the lower openwork panel held by two captive screws that are
accessible by removing the two black plastic covers. The cabinet is still transportable by a pallet truck
with this panel removed. The panel is replaced after the connections have been made.
Between the supply network and the appliance install a disconnecting box fitted with a circuit breaker
suitable for the current absorbed by the appliance (see table in § II-3-7), and according to the earth
circuit diagram of the installation. The circuit breaker can be replaced by gI Industrie type HRC (High
Rupturing Capacity) fuses (size and melting curve to suit the recommended circuit breaker).
We recommend installing leakage protection for the protection of persons. It should be matched to
the impedance of the building earth circuit.
Connect the mains cable to terminals L, N and PE on single phase appliances or terminals L1, L2, L3
and PE on 3-phase appliances. The cables should be fed through the grommet in line with the
terminals. Anchor the cables to the cabinet frame upright to prevent them being torn free the event
of their being pulled accidentally.

Connection capacity of the terminals:
- Single phase appliances: rigid 25mm², flexible 16mm² for all sizes.
- 3-phase appliances: rigid 25mm², flexible 16mm² for appliances with mains power
absorption not exceeding 75A, and rigid 50mm², flexible 35mm² for appliances consuming
more than 75A. Refer to the table in § II.3.7.
As the rectifier is a class 1 appliance, it is essential to connect the green/yellow protection conductor
to the PE terminal in accordance with the regulations in force.
Depending on the type of battery used, a temperature sensor may be supplied with the appliance.
This sensor should be installed as close as possible to the battery so as to measure the ambient air
temperature around the battery and transmit this information to the appliance. Use 2-core shielded
cable or equivalent. Wiring to be according to terminal block XST.
Connection capacity of the strip terminals with M6 or M8 threaded rods depending on their size:
- Single phase appliances: 35mm² for all sizes.
- 3-phase appliances: 35mm² for appliances with output current not exceeding 100A and
70mm² for appliances with output current of 100A or more. Refer to the table in § II.3.7.
NB: Once the connections are made replace the lower openwork panel.
The appliance, called a rectifier or charger, when associated with a battery of accumulators, makes it
possible to ensure a secure continuous electricity supply such as that necessary for users whose
supply cannot be interrupted during mains power cuts, such as safety systems, emergency lighting,
data back-up systems, etc.
It is also designed to be able to operate without a battery. In this case the rectifier cannot supply
electrical energy when the mains supply is cut off.
A load current between zero and the rated capacity of the rectifier can be output without the battery
playing a part. The battery always receives a maintenance current to keep it charged. This is the
floating operation obtained by regulation of the rectifier voltage at a constant value within a
tolerance of ± 1 %.
During failure of the mains supply the battery discharges. When the mains power returns the charger
supplies both the load current and a charging current to the battery until it is charged to reach its
floating operation level again.
Hence, for the battery to be able to be charged. The capacity (rated current) of the rectifier must be
greater than the average permanent load current.
The alternating current is rectified by means of diodes and silicon thyristors cooled by natural
convection. Output voltage regulation is obtained by a PLC (regulation board) controlling the firing
angle of the thyristors. This PLC provides, in addition, the functions of monitoring, measurement and
communication with the operator by means of LED indicator lights (light emitting diodes) and an
alphanumerical display.

Battery charging takes place at constant voltage with limitation of the battery charging current:
Phase 1 (CHI) : constant current charge until the equalisation voltage level is reached
Phase 2 (CHU): constant level charge at the equalisation voltage, i.e.
until the set charge is reached
or until the recharging threshold is reached
Phase 3 (FLOA): constant level maintenance charge at the floating voltage
Switching from the floating voltage to the equalisation voltage takes place either:
after a mains power cut lasting longer than the set time.
or when the battery has become discharged and its capacity is below the threshold
setting.

Standard adjustment levels at 20°C: (however, depending on the associated battery and the
application refer to the setting sheet supplied with the charger).
This function installed as an option (recommended for sealed lead-acid batteries) enables correction
of the voltage levels according to temperature with a slope of –3mV/°C/element in a range from 0 to
55°C.
This function can be installed as an option and it is obtained, according to requirements, either by
opening the battery circuit, or by opening the load circuit
In normal operation the battery or load switch is closed. If the battery voltage falls below the final
battery voltage for longer than the set time, the switch opens. It switches back in automatically as
soon as the appliance is once again operational and the battery voltage is higher than the cancellation
setting value.
Caution: switching the charger off with the On/Off switch causes the contacts to open;
consequently there is no longer supply to the load.
Switching into parallel of multiple Altys chargers, each associated with its own battery, necessitates
the addition of the optional Series Diode into each Altys.

III.3.1.1 Description
The electronic control board for Altys chargers is designed to control a single phase or 3-phase mixed
Rectifier Bridge. It is used in Altys chargers; it covers a range from 12V to 220V. It can control external
modules via a 0-10V control.
The voltage and current set points can be set internally or controlled via two analog 0-10V or Modbus
inputs. In internal operation, two voltage set points are accessible per setting.
It is possible to define the alarms according to the setting; their status is transmitted by various
modes of communication.
Measurements are available via the local MMI, RS485 and Ethernet communication. The alarms are
accessible by the same means and by on/off outputs.
III.3.1.2 Layout
III.3.2 Communication
An isolated RS485 (2 wire) port is available for remote supervision of the charger via a fieldbus. The
protocol used is Modbus RTU. Communication can be set internally. The communication table is
available in the appendix.
The connector is double (male and female) in sub-d9. The following pins are available on connector
J10:
- 1: GND.
- 5: B.
- 9: A.
Connection to a fieldbus:
A line end resistor (120Ω) is available on the board and it can be selected with switch S1.
The following communication settings are configurable:
- Slave number (1 to 247).
- Communication speed (2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 bps).
- Parity (None, Odd, Even)
The following data is available on Modbus (see exchange table in the appendix):
- Measurements.
- Status of the alarms.
- Operation mode.
- Time stamping.
- The log.
Voltage and current set points are accessible as write date to enable remote control of the board in
the "Control by Modbus" operating mode.
An RJ45 (J11) connector makes it possible to connect the charger to a computer network and to
supervise it remotely. The protocols available are http and SNMP v1. Communication can be set
internally (IP address, sub-network mask, and network gateway).
The Web pages are accessible using an Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
Identification, measurement, status and alarm data are available on the Ethernet network with the
SNMP V1 protocol. The MIB is available on request for setting communication with a SNMP manager.
III.3.3 Operation
The Altys board makes it possible to regulate the voltage around a set voltage and to monitor the
current supplied by the charger, and if necessary the charge current absorbed by a battery. The
current and voltage regulation set points can be set by one of the following three operating modes:
- Control by 0-10V inputs.
- Control by Modbus.
- Internal control.
The stop and fold-back modes are common to the three types of control. They are activated according
to the setting and status of the alarms.
Mode Description
Stop The charger is stopped
The control signals are stopped
The voltage and current settings are placed at their minimum
Depending on the alarm activated, the power switch may be open
Fold-back The charger is in operation
The voltage setting is fixed according to the setting by the fold-back voltage
The current limitations are fixed according to their setting
The voltage setting of the charger is calculated according to the value received on 0-10V input 1 and
the voltage rating of the charger.
The rectifier current limitation is calculated according to the value received on 0-10V input 2 and the
current rating of the charger.
The voltage setting of the charger is fixed by the value of the 20H address register of the Modbus
table. The rectifier current limitation is fixed by the value received from the of the 21H address
register of the Modbus table.
These registers are accessible via the RS485 communication and the Modbus protocol. Refer to the
Communication paragraph for more details.
III.3.3.3.1 Operation
4 operating modes are available in internal control. Their setting is accessible via the MMI in
menu/setting/charge. The regulation voltages are expressed in V/element and displayed in V and
V/element. The calculation of the output voltage depends on the number of elements set in
menu/setting/battery.
The current settings are set in menu/setting/limitations and expressed in % of the rated current for
the rectifier current limitation, and in % of the battery capacity for the battery current limitation.
Mode Description
Floating The charger is in operation
The voltage setting is fixed according to the setting by the floating voltage
The current limitations are fixed according to their setting
Equalisation The charger is in operation
The voltage setting is fixed according to the setting by the equalisation voltage
The current limitations are fixed according to their setting
Manual charge The charger is in operation
The voltage setting is adjustable manually via the MMI in
menu/Control/charge_manual between the min. and max. thresholds that are
adjustable in menu/setting/charge/charge_manual
The current limitations are fixed according to their setting
Battery test The charger is in operation
The voltage setting is inhibited, regulation is done by the rectifier current
The rectifier current setting is calculated to create a battery current output equal
to one tenth of the battery capacity
The fold-back mode has priority over every other operating mode (except the stop mode) and is
controlled by the triggering of an alarm set to command the switching of the charger to "fold-back".
On initialisation, the charger is in the stop mode. When the starting conditions are present, the
voltage and current settings are incremented progressively over the set duration until they reach the
voltage setting of the last operating mode saved (floating or equalisation) before the switching off of
the board.
By default, the operating mode is floating. Switching to equalisation is possible in various ways
depending on the setting:
- by a manual command via the MMI in menu/Control/floating<>equalisation
- in automatic, if an absence of mains voltage is longer than a set time (timer)
- in automatic, if the battery charge level is below a threshold setting (BDC)
Rq: The switching from equalisation voltage setting to floating voltage setting is progressive with a
variation of 10mV/s.
The automatic test can be configurable via the MMI in menu/setting/battery/test_battery. The
manual test is always accessible via the MMI in menu/Control/test_battery.
The battery test can be launched in certain conditions which are the "stopping conditions":
- The battery setting is YES
- No alarm active
In the automatic mode, if the battery test is impossible or has been interrupted, no alarm is triggered
and the test is attempted repeatedly for 7 day as long as it has not been run completely. If after 7
days it has still not been completed it is declared impossible and the next automatic battery test will
be commanded after the set time in days.
Result Description
OK The battery test has run to completion and the battery voltage after 5 hours has
remained above the end-of-life voltage.
No good The battery test has run to completion but the battery voltage fell below the
end-of-life voltage before the 5 hours.
Impossible - At least one of the conditions for stopping the test prevented the battery test
being run.
- Either no battery was detected during the first part of the test.
- Or in automatic, over a period of 7 days all attempts to perform the test
properly failed.
Interrupted - Either one of the conditions for stopping the test became effective during
performance of the test.
- Or the test was stopped manually via the MMI.
NB: The end-of-life voltage is not adjustable; it has been calculated on the basis of the battery
Manufacturer's data for a constant discharge current equal to 10% of the capacity for 5 hours.
Whatever the final result of the battery test, the operating mode that follows is always Equalisation,
to re-charge the battery.
III.3.3.4 Alarms
Each alarm has 8 settings accessible via the MMI from menu/settings/alarms.
The available alarms and their automatic activation and resetting conditions are described in the
following tables.
It is possible to send binary data onto the 8 on/off outputs available on the board. These outputs have
4 settings accessible via the MMI in menu/setting/on/off outputs:
III.3.3.6 Log
The date and the current time can be set via the local menu. This data is saved in a ROM memory
every hour. The board is not fitted with a back-up battery so the date and time are not updated when
the power to the board is off (AC and DC supply). On switching on the date and the current time will
be reinitialised at the last values saved before the power was cut off.
The board does not manage changes between winter/summer time.

right again, you can deselect the event.
If work has to be done with the power on, only trained persons with B2T certification can work on the rectifier.
Batteries using sealed technology do not require any particular maintenance, however whatever the
type of battery the manufacturer’s instructions should be consulted. It is useful to perform a battery
capacity test annually, discharging the battery fully.
Considering the entirely static nature of the appliance, maintenance is reduced to the test cycle below
to be carried out every 1 or 2 years depending on the environmental conditions.
- Check the tightness of the mechanical and electrical connections: a poor electrical contact can
be identified either by an abnormal voltage drop, or by overheating of the suspect connection.
If it is necessary to retighten a connection insulated tools must be used.
- Thorough dusting should also be performed: dusting can be done with a paint brush, a cloth or
a vacuum cleaner. Internal dusting should only be carried out after disconnecting the mains
supply and isolating the battery. For cleaning the outer casing, use only a cloth or a sponge
soaked in soapy water. Do not use detergents or abrasive products. Take care not to allow
liquid to enter inside the casing.
Follow these recommendations if the battery has to be changed while the appliance is in service:
- Before proceeding with the disconnection of a battery, first open fuse FB1
- This fuse must remain open throughout the operation
- Disconnect the positive and negative polarities of the battery
- Remove the connections between the elements
- Remove the old battery and fit the new one in an identical position
- Reconnect the connections between the elements
- Make sure that the battery connections are properly tightened before commissioning (see the
battery data sheet)
- Reconnect the positive and negative polarities of the battery
- Measure the voltage at the battery terminals
- If this voltage is correct (2.12V per element of a lead-acid battery and 1.22V per element of a
Nickel Cadmium battery), close fuse FB1 in a quick and clean movement to limit the duration
of the arc
NB: To avoid static electricity discharges while handling the board, the worker should put himself in
contact with the charger earth.
- Swivel the panel slightly to obtain access to the rear of the I1.
- Press the switch at the back of the I1 to release it from the panel.
- Finish swivelling the panel through 90°.
- Remove all the connectors.
- Remove the 6 screws holding the board.
- Fix the new board and put the charger back into its initial status.
- Close the mains protection on the supply line.
- Make the data settings specific to the appliance.
