Alpha 4 charger manual

None of this smart charge nonsense that won't charge a flat battery. Just chuck 4 amps at it! I have a very very basic bradex charger which my dad bought in the early 90s when we first had a car,he gave me it about 8years ago and it still charges anything to this day.

I bought some dog sh1t effort from Lidl earlier in the year that blew as soon as I pressed start which reminds me I need a refund. Was my dads before,and was no doubt a bootsale buy in the s. I notice there Dan that the case is the same as the GP4. There's a lot of badged engineering when it comes to chargers. Well it wasn't too difficult to reach at the back of the man cave when I went out. Unfortunately I don't have the free wall bracket or instructions and it's stuffed with asbestos intact , but they styling is ace.

Works perfectly. I bought this Selmar about 30 years ago and it stopped working about a month ago so I had to use my other charger Today we went with friends who live in the delightful village of Rolleston on Dove near Burton to the advent festival in the church, with trees decorated by local organisations on the theme of 'a Winter's Tale'.

To my delight the one from the local transport society included Those Absaar chargers are great. I used to sell them and can't remember ever getting a faulty one back. Dad had one of these, it was his third ever charger, the previous two going up in smoke after short and busy lives.

Metal rectifiers were what was used before silicon diodes became cheap and when they burn up they really stink, loads of foul yellow smoke. With a amp diode in place of the rectifier, I then used it for about 30 years. I got fed up with the sight of it and binned it a couple of years ago when some sophisticated modern thing from a generator set I was dismantling became available at zero cost. Also watch out with connecting some of these directly to car battery that is still connected to the car.

Unregulated chargers could end up putting too many volts in or too noisy power and fritz out modern car electrics. I rescued this from a skip in On of the wires was broken off but the missing end panel made temporary repair easy The other wire broke last year so similar repair carried out.

Bloody great little charger I have given away newer ones. Ha - I used to have number 2 on that Argos page till I melted it using it to jump start a Fiesta.

I did have my Dad's old Crypton one for years - it was on about the ninth rectifier, but in the end the transformer gave up. I inherited this about 16 years ago from my then now ex wife's Grandad. It's behaved itself so far. Lent my Absaar to a neighbour where I used to live.

He passed away but the charger lives on - somewhere. I never got it back. Still have this, though, but I have not used it in anger for some while. You alter the charge rate, input voltage and battery voltage simply by moving the little plugs between different sockets! Supplied by Marble Arch Motor Supplies probably in the s.

Turn off the AC breaker for one rectifier. Turn off the AC breaker for two or more rectifiers. For rectifier minor alarm, turn off the AC breaker for one rectifier and for Rectifier Major Alarm, turn off the AC breaker for two or more rectifiers. Must log in to the controller with a laptop. If the destination is not capable for a reply back, the controller will keep on sending the trap. With a laptop connected to the controller, go to rectifiers and click on Inventory Update.

Alpha part number is It is a 3V lithium CR battery. As the discharge proceeds, the controller compares the actual discharge curve with the theoretical discharge curve. The theoretical discharge curve is determined by: 1. Discharge rate. Peukert number. The rated capacity in Ah. What is the Username and Password? By default, the rear Ethernet port of the controller is configured to acquire an IP address automatically and the front Ethernet port is configured to use a static IP address of If set to Automatic it will recognize the rectifier upon install.

If set to manual, you will have to manually assign it. Go to Power System then Configure System. Have to make the controller forget the module. Go to Modules then Rectifiers. On the module with Communications Lost alarm, click on then Forget. Push in a USB memory stick into the Controller. On the display, go to Shortcuts then Backup. Follow next steps. Make sure that the software version is v2. Make sure that the controller has software v3. It is a CR lithium battery. Caution: When changing the password, make sure to take a note of the new password to easily remember, otherwise unit will have to be returned to Alpha to default back the controller to factory password.

You must be logged in to the controller to change passwords. From the main Dashboard, click the Menu button. Press Controller to highlight it, and then press the arrow on the right-side. Press to highlight Configure Controller, and then press the arrow on the right-side. Swipe with an upward motion on the touch screen to scroll down to Users and Security, and press to highlight.

Press the arrow on the right-side, and then select admin. Press Change User Password. Press the Execute button to modify the default, and then click the checkmark to save your changes. Changing the Default Password - Web This section describes how to change the default password via the web interface. From the admin line, click the more details icon on the right-side of the table. From the table, click the Change User Password button. Enter a new password and then click Save. This can be downloaded from the www.

This feature is only added on software v3. You can use Locate to identify these rectifiers and map which one is recognized. Press User Interface Preferences then the arrow on the right-side. Press User Interface Preferences again then the arrow on the right-side. Press the Default Login Language then the arrow on the right-side. Select which one to use English or Metric than tap on the Check mark to save and back out. Using the Web browser: On the upper right side of the web beside the My Account is the unit of measure.

The load current are not sharing evenly and jumping all over the place, how can I correct this? Check the firmware version of the modules, make sure it is at v1. The controller power input is coming from Feed A of the shelf. If you wish the controller to stay on even if power is lost from feed A, in the interface board, there is a Battery Hot, make sure this is connected directly to the battery hot side. Most likely related to the issue on the Fan Speed Alarm which was sensitive to environmental conditions altitude and temperature and could generate an intermittent false alarm.

Please update to applicable firmware version. CXDF 2kW to v1. What is the load sharing tolerance between rectifiers? It is known that at very small loads the rectifiers do not share properly CXRF This means a very light load or none at all is connected to the power system. The LED will flash when a minor alarm is detected.

This happens if the modules output capability has been reduced or a minor component failure is detected. See rectifier manual for more details. The alarm LED red is on continuously in the event of an active Module Fail alarm; if the module is unable to source power. A breaker is in the tripped position. Wrong breaker is used, must all be a Mid-Tripped type breaker.

A conductive material; i. For more information, click on the link for a you tube video with detailed troubleshooting process. Why is the input breaker and wire feed size larger when you have MBS on the same Amps80 rating? Only set to Safe mode when doing maintenance to avoid voltage feedback upstream.

Safe mode only works when Input Source is set to DC. The history file reached its limit possible due to succession of abnormal events that happened in the system. Stay up to date with Alpha's newest product offerings!
