C6 Carriage: Carriage with one motor pre-stretch system.


The film can be pre-stretched by means of a mechanical control generated by a pair of gears (fixed
mechanical ratio). The application tension is manually adjusted and controlled by a sensor which
measures its value.

The tension can be adjusted via the machine operating panel.

4. Carriage C6
With this carriage version, the tension with which the film is applied to the pallet can be adjusted via
the Operating panel
.
This carriage allows pre-stretching the film according to fixed ratios determined by interchangeable
gears.

The pre-stretch ratios usable are:


-150% (1 metre of film is pre-stretched to a length of 2.5 metres).
-200% (1 metre of film is pre-stretched to a length of 3.0 metres).
-250% (1 metre of film is pre-stretched to a length of 3.5 metres).

The carriage is fitted with a sensor (4) connected to the out-feed roller, which measures the tension
of the film applied to the pallet, and the Operating Panel (OP) to adjust this value.
A specific circuit board integrates the signal of the sensor (4) and the adjustment set with the OP in
order to dynamically control the speed of the pre-stretch roller drive motor and thus the film tension.
The carriage is fitted with a gear-motor which drives three rubber-coated rollers (1), (2) and (3) by
means of toothed gearing. The different transmission ratios generate different speeds of the rollers
(1) , (2) and (3) creating the pre-stretch action.
The carriage also features a set of 3 idle rollers which are used to increase the winding angle of the
film on the rubber-coated rollers.

Upon starting, the film must be loaded onto the carriage.


Slide the roll (5) onto the centring pin (6). Open the door and run the film between the rollers
following the path shown in Figure A. Diagram A is also shown on the carriage. Close the door
making sure that it is properly locked.

BATTERY CHARGER / BATTERY “Version 03”

GENERAL INFORMATION AND WARNINGS


 Electronic automatic battery charger with microprocessor suitable for any battery type;
 Fully automatic charging cycle with electronic setting: protected against overload, short-circuit at
clamps and reversed polarity;
 Never disconnect the battery while charging: this could cause sparks;
 Never use the equipment in the rain, in areas used for washing or in damp areas;
 Before starting to charge, make sure the voltage of the equipment suits the voltage of the battery,
that the charging current suits the capacity of the battery and that the selected charging curve (for
lead-acid batteries or airtight gel batteries) is correct for the type of battery to be charger. In
addition, make sure the rated input voltage of the charger suits the avaible supply voltage and the
system is equipped with grounding;
 If necessary, replace the fuse with another of the same type and value as indicated on the rating
plate;
 Use battery chargers only in well ventilated areas;
 Pay attention to any remarks of the battery manufacturer.

For lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte:


 Control the water lever after each charging process;
 Refill with distilled water only;
 Caution! The gases generated during charging are explosive. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the
batteries. When working with cables and electrical equipment, avoid open lames and sparks;
 Attention: use protective glasses and gloves during battery maintenance. Battery acid causes
injuries. In case of contact with battery acid, wash the affected parts with a lot of fresh water and
consult a doctor if necessary.

TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE CBHF1-SM SERIES (Robot FR3xx/FR4xx)

The innovative characteristics of the CBHF1-SM range of battery charger are the following:
1. Advanced Mosfet technology with high frequency and insulation transformer.
2. Charging process fully controlled by microprocessor.
3. Visualization on a lit display of the charging current, of the battery voltage, of the charging time, of
the electric charge supplied in Ah’s and of the electric energy absorbed in KWh’s.
4. Possibility to change the charging curve by means of microswitches (DIP-switches), choosing from
16 standard pre-programmed curves for lead-acid, Gel and VRLA batteries.
5. Possibility to change the battery voltage and the charging current by means of the relevant
microswitches.
6. Charging process starting in the “soft start” mode, storing of the data of the cycle just finished and
automatic reset upon connection of a new battery.
7. Protection against polarity inversions, short-circuits, over-voltages or anomalies by means of an
output relay.
8. Battery to battery charger connection without sparks on the output terminals with obvious
advantages for the active safety, thanks to the recognition of the battery voltage downstream the
normally opened output relay.
9. Alphanumeric signals of possible anomalies.
10. Insensitive charge parameters in case of 10% network voltage
11. Efficiency > 85%.
12. Output ripple at maximum charge lower than 100mV.
13. Start of the charge cycle also with 2V batteries.
14. Thermal protection against over heating.
15. An auxiliary relay that permits the partial or total disconnection of an electric traction machine is
available in should the batteries have to be re-charged with the battery charger placed on board the
machine. In this way the relay prevents the machine from starting while the battery charger is
operating. This is a safety device.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

On switching on a new battery charger of the CBHF1-SM series, programmation data are displayed
(these parameters depend on internal dipswitch configuration).
After the “SPE” logo you can see on display the version of software installed on the machine. At this
time the following programmed parameters are displayed on sequence according to internal dipswitch
configuration (see tables on page n. 4):
battery voltage, charging current, number of charging curve and is displayed the message “GEL” if
programmed charging curve is suitable for gel batteries or “Acd” if programmed charging curve is
suitable for Lead-Acid (Wet) batteries. After these operations the charger is ready to check the battery
voltage and to decide whether to start the charging process. If the battery is not connected to the
battery charger, the message ’bat’ will be displayed. The same message is displayed also in case of
negative result of the testing (for example, reversed polarity or battery having a wrong voltage). If the
result of the testing is positive, the value of the battery voltage is displayed for about 5 seconds, with
output relay open. After 5 seconds the charging of the battery can start. The output relay closes and
the current of the first phase rises slowly till it reaches the nominal value programmed.
If the user disconnects the battery from the battery charger during the charging process, after a few
seconds the battery charger will re-initialize and prepare to start a new charging process.
The display always shows the charging current of the battery. The battery voltage, the time since the
beginning of the charge, the charge yielded in Ah’s and the energy consumed in KWh can be seen
only by pressing the button S.
The progress of the charging process is shown by three LED’s: red, yellow and green, as in the whole
range of the battery chargers.
The green LED indicates the stop of the charging or the last phase in case of deep charging process;
in the former case, the relay is opened to disconnect galvanically the battery from the battery charger.

Technical remarks

 When the maximum voltage admissible for a specific battery is reached (value given by the
manufacturer) the error message ‘E01’ is displayed, and the process is terminated.
 By using an internal thermostat, the charging can be interrupted in case of excessive battery
charger over-temperature. In this case the error message ‘E02’ is displayed.
 Possibility of setting each single charging phase. On exceeding this time, the charge will be
interrupted and the error message ‘E03’ will be displayed.
 The display of the message ‘SCt’ indicates safety timer operation.
 The message ‘Srt’ will be displayed in case of internal short circuit.

MARS SERIES DESCRIPTION


The high-frequency battery chargers MARS-SERIES are designed for use in industrial environments.
Particular attention was paid to meeting the needs different market applications require.
The battery chargers MARS-SERIES comply with the following European Directives:
89/336 EEC (electromagnetic compatibility)
72/23 EEC (safety of electrical equipment)

Installation
Use the battery charger inside an environment with the features that can warrant user safety and
correct opeartions for the device. It has to be: dry, ventiled and not dusty .
According to its protection degree IP, the battery charger, cannot be used under rain or water sprays.
The battery charger must not be installed in unsafe areas for the presence of other activities, like:
- chemical industries and wood industries: risk of flammable material.
- ceramics industries, due to the great quantity of dust.
- food and meat transformation industries, due to the great quantity of water and humidity.
In these cases it is necessary to install the battery charger in protected areas.

Recommendations:

Do not close the input and the output for forced ventilation in order to allow a correct cooling of the

Operation, commands, and views.


The chargers MARS-SERIES come with a backlit LCD display and three touch-sensitive buttons
(touch) that enable the data exchange between the device and the user.
At power on, the display lights up and gives information on the model and software release
housed on the microprocessor inside the charger. Ex:

Firmware 1.0 (software release 1.0) on MARS 2415 model.

It then provides compared to the options chosen. Ex:

Voltage 15V, 12A current

Pb battery liquid, end of charge equalized.

Then you see the flashing battery symbol which means that the device is not connected to a
battery.

When you connect a battery, the battery charger automatically begins to charge according to the
options. The state of charge is symbolized by a progressive scale and displayed numerically in%.

The charger can be stopped by tapping the start/stop button on the left for 3 seconds. Pressing it
again for 3 seconds the charger starts again and so on. The middle button is used to view, in
sequence, the battery voltage, amps provided instantly and the Ah loaded up to that point. The right
button turns on the power supply.

FRONT BUTTON COMANDS

V key: The left button "V" sets the voltage between 12V and 24V. Press again to alternate between
the two allowed values on the panel. When the charger is started (automatically) to load, becomes key
Start / Stop. In this case, keeping the finger pressed for 3 seconds, the charger stops and allows you
to disconnect the battery. After 5 seconds, if the battery is still attached, starts to load it.

MODE: The middle button "MODE" sets the mode of the device among those permitted and described
in the instruction manual.
A button: The button on the right "A" sets the current model of the allowed values for the model.
Pressures repeated successively bring the allowed values on the panel. When the charger has been
programmed as a power supply (Power Supply) assumes the function of the Start / Stop button. In
this case a pressure of 3 seconds ago from the power supply, the next press 3 seconds it stops and
so away. In this operating mode, the output current depends on the load and arrival at the maximum of
size (15A MARS 2415 50A MARS 2450, MARS 24100 100A).

CHARGING CURVES

The charging process is divided into 5 phases:


1 - Analysis. At battery connection, there is the analysis of the battery.
2 - Bulk. Phase of initial charge at constant current.
3 - Absorption. Charging, constant voltage which decreases the current drawn from the battery.
4 - Conditioning. Optional step of charging the batteries.
5 - Floating. Charging in the final buffer, an optional alternative to equalization.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS

For connection to the mains use the outgoing cable from the unit to the end of which will be sufficient
to connect a suitable plug together with an earth terminal.
Avoid the use of extension cords.
The socket outlet to which you connect the battery charger must be proportionate to its power and
shall have built-in fuses or other protections.
Check the rating plate data with respect to:
V - (Supply voltage), KVA - (power) and A - (current)
Ensure correct earthing.
The replacement of the power supply cable must be carried out by competent and authorized
personnel.

CONNECTION TO THE BATERRY

For the connection to the battery, there are two cables coming out of one positive (+) marked in red.
Be careful not to reverse the cables connected to the battery terminals: to this end, we reccomend the
use of special, one direction connectors, supplied by the manufacturer.

PROTECTION DEVICES

The MARS Series chargers are protected from :


- Reverse polarity, with a fuse on the DC circuit;
- Accidental breakage, with a fuse on the power circuit;
- Overload and short circuit on the output, via electronic protection;
- Charger overheating due to special environmental conditions, with thermal protection device
that excreting pause the charger and restores only when the temperature of its components
back to normal.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATORS

DAILY

Particular attention must be given to the charging of the Robot battery in order to ensure a long
lifetime. The electronic control unit also incorporates the battery charger which operates under a tight
control of the main electronic control unit.

The frequency with which the battery charger must be charged depends on the machine. The most
important rules to preserve battery life are:
- Do not leave the batteries half charged or fully discharged for a long period.
- Charge the batteries when the operating panel indicates that the battery is discharged.
Extended use when batteries are discharged can cause irreparable damage.

How to recharge:
Connect the tension cable to the machine (Fig 1)
and next to the electrical socket. Leave the Robot
under charging.

Figure 1

After connecting the plug the process of charging


will start in a few seconds. If the charging will be
interrupted, the charging will re-start from the
initial point of charging, when the connection is
re-stored.

The green LED (Version03) or 100% (Version04)


indicates that the charging has been finished with
success.

Figure 1

For any other reporting refer to the technical manual of the charger.

WEEKLY

Cleaning. Using only isopropyl alcohol and a non-stringy cloth, thoroughly clean off any trace of dirt
from all the working and transport surfaces of the machine, as dirt may cause surface friction and
sliding problems. Where appropriate use only a cloth soaked in hot water.
