3.4 DSE9470 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE

3.4.1 USB CONNECTION

The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the DSE9400
series battery charger. Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then configure
and monitor the state of the battery charger.

To connect a DSE9400 series battery charger to a PC by USB, the following items are required:

• DSE9400 series battery charger

• DSE Configuration Suite Software


(Supplied on configuration suite software CD or available from
www.deepseaplc.com).

• USB cable Type A to Type B.


(This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a USB
printer)

DSE can supply this cable if required :

NOTE: - The DSE9400

Specifications

3.4.2 RS485

The RS485 port on the DSE9400 series battery chargers support the Modbus RTU protocol.
The DSE Powercomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE
Technical Support Department.

RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices)
and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few
devices).

One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km) when using Belden
9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the DSE9400 series battery
charger and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to view the
various operating parameters.

NOTE: - For distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB connection method is moremore suitable and
provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which is more suited to longer distance
connections).

Installation

4 INSTALLATION

NOTE: The DSE9000 series battery charger should only be used to charge one battery
bank at a time. It is not recommended to parallel batteries as the tolerance of the batteries
leads to imbalance in their charging.

The DSE9000 battery charger is designed to be mounted within a control panel, on the panel DIN rail
utilising the integral mounts or on a chassis utilising the mounting holes. For dimension and mounting
details, see the section entitled Specification, Dimensions elsewhere in this document.

The DSE9000 battery charger is fit-and-forget. It can be permanently connected to the supply and the
load, with no requirement to disable the charger during times of heavy load (such as engine cranking).

4.1 BATTERY SUITABILITY


The standard charger is factory set by DSE to suit Lead Acid batteries but can be adjusted at the time
of ordering to suit other battery types. Care should be taken to ensure the batteries connected to the
charger are of the correct ‘technology’ to suit the setting of the charger.
For details of other supported battery types and float voltages see the section entitled Specifications,
Part Numbering elsewhere in this document.

Operation

6 OPERATING MODES
6.1 OPERATION OF DSE9100 SERIES / DSE9200 SERIES
The DSE9100 & DSE9200 series of battery chargers can be used as a battery charger, DC power
supply, or both at the same time. For instance, the units can be used to power the generator control
panels and charge the panel batteries or starter batteries at the same time.

With no AC input to the charger, the Charge fail relay will be closed. This can be used to provide
indication of charger failure which operates upon mains supply AC supply failure or battery charging
failure.
When a suitable AC supply is connected, operation of the unit will depend upon the load connected to
the unit’s output terminals :

Battery connected – The charging operation will begin (Charge mode)


No Battery connected – The output voltage will be enabled. (PSU mode)
Reverse connected battery – The charger will remain in charge fail mode.
Short circuit – The charger will remain in charge fail mode.

6.1.1 PSU MODE

If no battery is connected to the output terminals, the DSE9100 & DSE9200 series battery charger will
operate as a DC power supply only, current limit is factory set. See the section entitled Specification
elsewhere in this manual for output specifications.

6.1.2 CHARGE MODE

Constant Voltage
The DSE9100 & DSE9200 series battery charger operates in Constant voltage current limited mode.
The charger output voltage is maintained at a constant level to allow the battery to charge while the
load does not exceed the maximum rating of the charger.
Once the battery is fully charged, the DSE9100 & DSE9200 series battery charger will switch to ECO-
POWER mode. This is a low power use standby mode.

Current Limit
If the load on the battery charger (battery charge demand+standing load) exceeds the maximum
current rating of the charger, the charging current is limited to the maximum rating of the charger and
the voltage is reduced.
The voltage will rise to the rated voltage again once the load drops below the maximum rating of the
charger.

Charging time
Charge time is often of little consequence when the battery is used in a standby operation. An
example of this is when the battery is used to supply the starting system of a diesel generator. During
normal operation, the battery is at full capacity and the battery charger is used to maintain the float
voltage of the battery. The battery is only drained when the generator is called to start. As the
generator has a DC charging alternator fitted, the battery is quickly recharged when the generator is
running. Should the generator stop before the battery is fully recharged, the DSE9100 & DSE9200
series will continue to recharge the battery until it is fully charged.

Typically a battery will charge from flat to 80% capacity in 16hrs when when charged at C/10.
For example charging a 50Ah battery for 16hrs at 5A will charge the battery to 80% of its full capacity.
Remember to take into account any other standing load such as control panel requirements when
calculating how much power is ‘left’ to charge the battery.

Operation

6.1.3 BOOST MODE

(Not applicable to DSE9150 12V 2A or DSE9155 30V 2A)

CAUTION:
CAUTION: Boost mode is intended for equalisation of the cells in lead acid batteries and
should not be operated when the battery charger is connected to other battery types or
when the charger is used as a power supply only. If in doubt, consult your battery
manufacturer.

Boost mode is operated by connecting the BOOST terminals together (for instance with an external
switch or timer circuit). This will raise the battery charger floating voltage by 0.8V DC.

DC over current/voltage – The charger will remain in charge fail mode.
Over temperature - The charger will remain in charge fail mode.

Operation

6.2.3 BOOST MODE

CAUTION: The boost mode in the DSE9400 series battery chargers happens
automatically and is intended for equalisation of the cells in lead acid batteries,
batteries, other battery
types are not yet supported.

Boost mode is operated automatically in the DSE9400 series chargers when they are switched on,
This will raise the battery charger floating voltage by 2.4V DC per cell. It will stay in boost mode until
the current drawn from the charger drops below 75% of the rated output, it will then go into a timed
run-on charge.

The battery charger will go back into boost mode, if the charge voltage is detected to drop below 1.8V
per battery cell.

6.2.4 TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

If temperature compensation is enabled through configuration, and remote temperature sensor is


connected, the output voltage automatically varies by a configured mV per cell per 1°C deviation from
20°C, within the range of -20°C to 60°C. Increasin g temperature give decreasing outputs and
decreasing temperatures give increasing outputs.
The battery temperature will be measured by a temperature sensor (2 wire PT1000 sensor) which will
be placed on the battery
