SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION  
1.1. Receiving  
Immediately upon receipt of the charger, check it against the shipping invoice to ensure the shipment is  
complete and undamaged.  
Examine the outside of the packing for signs of rough handling before accepting the charger from the  
carrier.  
If there is evidence of damage, the receipt should be signed, and both copies (carrier's and receiving  
copies) marked "Shipment Received Damaged". The carrier's representative should be called  
immediately and asked to make a "Carrier's Damage Report".  
If concealed damage is later detected, the carrier should be called and requested to make a "Carrier's  
Inspection for Concealed Damage Report".  
After inspection by the carrier, arrangements should be made with the charger representative to have  
the charger repaired before placing it in service.  
When contacting your charger representative for assistance on a damage claim or shipment error,  
provide the Model, and Serial Number of the charger, and a full description of the damage or error.  
It is good practice to move the charger to the installation site before uncrating. When using bars,  
hammers, etc. for uncrating, use care to avoid damage to the charger.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, install the battery charger on a non-combustible surface  
such as concrete, stone, brick, or steel. DO NOT operate the charger on its shipping skid  
materials.  
1.2. Location  
For the best operating conditions and longest life, take care in selecting an installation site. Avoid  
locations exposed to high humidity, temperature extremes or dust. Moisture condensing on machine  
parts and electrical components can cause corrosion, which seriously affects operation, efficiency and  
life. All units are designed for floor mounting. Standard cases may be stack-mounted if required, up to 3  
high. If so, optional stacking brackets are required and available. Consult factory.  
Dust and dirt will also decrease heat radiation from heat-generating components, such as transformers  
and diodes. This will result in higher operating temperatures and shorter life. Adequate air circulation is  
needed at all times in order to ensure proper operation. Provide a minimum of 6 inches of free air space  
at the sides and rear of the charger. The front of the charger must remain unobstructed for serviceability.  
1.3. Line Voltage Adjustments  
All chargers are shipped with the AC line voltage jumper wires set for the AC voltage specified on the  
purchase order. Before connecting the charger to the AC service, it should be verified that the internal  
AC voltage connections match the available AC service voltage. If necessary change the AC voltage  
jumper wires shown in Figs. 1.3.1 through 1.3.3.  
NOTE: For 50 Hz. Single or three phase fixed voltage chargers, there are no adjustments.  
CAUTION: It will be necessary in most cases to change the AC fuses when the AC voltage  
jumpers are changed. Refer to the fuse chart on the inside door of the charger for the correct fuse  
rating.

(Identified by a green dot and ground symbol).  
1.7 Battery Connector and Charging Cable  
Verify that the connectors on both the battery and the charger are attached so that the positive  
output terminal of the charger is connected to the positive battery terminal.  
CAUTION: If the polarity is reversed, the DC fuse will blow.  
If in doubt, check the polarity with a DC voltmeter.  
1.8 Charging Rate Adjustment  
Note: Charging rate adjustments may be necessary to compensate for locations of extreme AC line  
variation or may be used to tailor the charger output for aging batteries.  
The charging rate has been set at the factory; therefore, field adjustment should not be necessary.  
If there appears to be a charging rate problem, refer to the troubleshooting chart, Section 4.  
If it is necessary to either increase or decrease the charging rate, a rate adjustment terminal block is  
provided on the top rear of the transformer mounting bracket.  
Change only one step at a time and observe the effect on the battery before making a second change.  
The charging rate is increased by moving to the next higher tap setting in Table 1-2.  
The charging rate is decreased by moving to the next lower tap setting.  
No adjustments should be made without consulting the factory.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION  
The charger utilizes a standard ferro-resonant transformer, which provides isolation from the AC service  
line and regulates the charging current. The transformer output is connected to a full-wave bridge of  
silicon diodes, which provides DC charging current to the battery.  
The starting charge amps and length of time required for a charge vary depending on the charger model.  
See the data plate on the charger for information.  
2.1.1 046-0371 Control Feature Summary  
Charges flooded or sealed batteries.  
Automatic start when battery is connected or manual start (if selected).  
Automatic stop when charge is finished.  
Fully charges partially discharged batteries without overcharging.

Automatic refresh charging when set time has elapsed.  
Automatically resumes charge after a power failure (if auto-start selected).  
Displays charging amps and volts per cell during the charge cycle.  
End Voltage, end current, AH, and run time can be displayed during charge, at the end of charge, or after  
disconnecting the battery.  
Delayed start adjustable from 0 to 24 hours (if auto-start selected).  
Displays code if an abnormal charge indication is detected.  
Cool down timer after the charge is complete (if selected).  
2.1.2 Description  
The front panel has a 16 character LCD display which normally shows charging amps and volts per  
cell along with a periodic message showing the charger state. This display also presents messages if an  
abnormal charge indication is detected. A yellow ‘Charging’ indicator lights while the charger is charging.  
A green ‘Complete’ indicator lights when the charge is complete. A red ‘Fault’ indicator lights if an  
abnormal charge indication is detected.  
The front panel has STOP, =, EDIT and INFO buttons. A charge can be stopped by pressing STOP  
and resumed by pressing STOP again. While charging, an equalize charge can be requested by pressing  
= and turned off by pressing =. During or after charge, the charge information may be obtained by  
pressing INFO.  
2.1.3 Operation  
The 046-0371 control is used in ferro-resonant taper chargers to provide fully automatic battery  
charging. The control has a charging profile that handles standard flooded lead-acid batteries. The  
charging profile, or algorithm, uniquely monitors the output current and voltage to optimally charge the  
battery, based on battery manufacturer’s recommendations.  
The control offers several safeguards to protect the battery. If a wrong voltage battery is connected,  
the charger does not start and a Low-Battery-Voltage (F3) or High-Battery-Voltage (F4) message is  
displayed. While charging, if the battery voltage exceeds a profile-specific cut-off value, the charge  
terminates with an end on voltage message.  
2.1.4 Normal Daily Charge  
When no battery is connected, the LED indicators are off and the LCD display shows ‘0A 0.00VC’.  
With the auto-start feature enabled, connecting a battery to the charger causes it to begin a charge cycle.  
The charger first performs a self-diagnostic test to verify the control is working properly. During this time a  
lamp test is performed causing all display segments and indicators to light. This allows the operator to  
8

observe any defective segments or indicators. When the self-diagnostic is complete, the charge starts if  
no delay is set, and the yellow ‘Charging’ indicator lights. The display shows the charging amps and  
battery volts per cell along with a message to indicate the charger is in phase 1 of the charge cycle. If  
auto start is disabled, the display shows ‘CHARGER OFF’. Press STOP to manually start the charge.  
When the battery is 80% charged, the charger starts phase 2 of the charge cycle.  
When a charge is finished, the charger automatically turns off. The yellow ‘Charging’ indicator goes  
out. If cool down is enabled, the display shows the cool down time remaining. If cool down is disabled or  
the time has elapsed, the display shows ‘0A x.xxVC’ along with a message indicating the battery is ready  
and the green ‘Complete’ indicator lights.  
2.1.4.1 Disconnecting the Battery  
Warning: Risk of explosion. Do not disconnect the battery while the charger is running. Hydrogen gas  
produced by the battery during charging can be ignited by arcing that occurs when the battery cable is  
disconnected.  
If the battery must be disconnected before the end of the charge cycle, the charger should be turned  
off first. Press STOP, and verify the yellow ‘Charging’ indicator goes out. The LCD display shows  
CHARGER OFF’. The battery may then be safely disconnected. If the green ‘Complete’ indicator is lit,  
the battery may be disconnected at any time.  
2.1.5 Equalize Charge  
Over time batteries can develop inequalities in cell charge. This can lower the effective capacity of  
the battery and shorten life. An equalizing charge re-balances the charge in the battery cells. Perform an  
equalize charge if any of the following conditions exist:  
1. On flooded batteries the specific gravity of any cell at the end of charge is 20 points less than the average  
of all the cells.  
2. The on-charge voltage of any cell at the end of charge is 20 millivolts less than the average of all the cells.  
3. The battery has been stored for 30 days.  
The 046-0371 control can perform an equalize automatically if auto equalize is enabled. Normal  
equalize consists of an additional 3 hour charge time at the end of a normal charge cycle. The 046-0371  
control can also perform an equalize charge when requested manually. First connect the battery and  
allow the charge to start normally. Then press =. The display shows ‘=’ on the left side and the charge  
time is extended by 3 hours to allow the cells to equalize their charge.  
The auto-equalize or manual equalize cycle can be cleared by pressing = while in the normal charge  
cycle. The ‘=’ indication on the display turns off. The next auto equalize charge occurs after the set  
number of charge cycles if auto equalize is enabled. If the set number of charge cycles have been  
completed, the charger attempts to equalize after the next charge cycle and continues to attempt to  
equalize until an equalize cycle has completed.  
The default setting for automatic equalize is every 7 cycles. To change the number of charge cycles  
for automatic equalize, refer to the programming section.  
2.1.6 Delayed Start  
The delayed-start feature allows the operator to delay starting the charge cycle. This might be  
desired to reduce peak energy surcharges if the charger were ready to start during a peak energy period.  
The delay time could be set to keep the charger from starting until after the peak period ends.  
To view or change the delayed start setting, refer to the programming section.  
2.1.7 Auto- Refresh Charge  
9
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The 046-0371 control can provide an auto-refresh charge as long as the battery remains  
connected to the charger if enabled. If AC power is lost during the wait period, the control resumes from  
where it left off after power is restored. During the auto-refresh charge, the amp-hours and charge time  
are added to the original charge. The refresh charge consists of 30 minutes at the equalize current. To  
change the auto-refresh settings, refer to the programming section.  
2.1.8 Viewing Charge Information  
Additional charge information is available any time by pressing the INFO button. This information  
is retained after the battery is disconnected until the next battery is connected. After 20 seconds the  
display returns to the default display of amps and volts per cell. The following information can be viewed:

SECTION 3 - OPTIONAL FEATURES  
3.1 Fusible Door-Interlock Switch (JIC Switch)  
The door interlock switch assembly connects the AC service to the charger’s input fuses for each AC line.  
The switch is mechanically latched by the door so that it must be in the OFF position before the door can  
be opened. Operation of the charger is identical to that of the standard model, except the charger cannot  
be energized if the door is open.  
3.2 Remote Control  
The remote control option makes it possible to operate the charger at a point within 15 feet of the charger.  
It includes a box equipped with the control option ordered, and 15, 20, or 30 feet of jacketed control  
harness. Operation is identical to that of a standard charger except that the control is not mounted on the  
front of the charger.  
3.3 Watering Valve  
On chargers ordered with the 046-0172 control, an optional 24VAC watering solenoid can be ordered.  
The valve will activate at the end of the charge cycle. It works in conjunction with an automatic watering  
system that is supplied by others. Note: Watering valves have a one year part replacement warranty only.  
3.4 Charger Stand  
The charger stand is a metal frame that is designed to bolt the charger cabinet on top of it. It raises the  
cabinet up to the operator’s level, rather than having the cabinet sitting on the floor.  
SECTION 4 – TROUBLESHOOTING & GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Caution: There are lethal voltages exposed when the charger is energized with the door open.  
Always disconnect the AC service voltage to the charger before opening the door. The following  
chart lists the most probable cause of a malfunction.

B. Charger amp-hour rating exceeds the battery amp-hour rating.  
C. Battery has defective cells.  
4.6. Low specific gravity at the end of the charge cycle.  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
A. Battery was over-discharged.  
B. Charger amp-hour rating is less than the battery AH rating.  
C. Defective open diode.  
D. Charging rate is too low. See Section 1.8.  
E. Battery has defective cells.  
F. Battery has been over-watered.  
4.7. Charger does not turn off when the control terminates the charge cycle.  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
A. Defective control.  
B. AC contactor has welded contacts.  
4.8. General Maintenance  
The charger requires a minimum of maintenance. Connections and terminals should be kept clean and  
tight. The charger should be periodically cleaned with an air hose to prevent any excessive dirt build up  
on components. Care should be taken not to bump or move any adjustments during cleaning. Make sure  
that both the AC lines and the battery are disconnected before cleaning. The frequency of this type of  
maintenance depends on the environment in which this unit is installed. If any cabinet sheet metal panels  
are removed for cleaning, be certain they are properly reinstalled upon completion.
