Battery Care the New Battery Charging Philosophy

Integrated Electronic Solution

Yet another strong proposition from Adelsystem, result of the continuing

commitment to provide system designers and users with value added,
multi-function devices for battery charging and back-up power supply.
Since many years developer of problem-free solutions addressing the requirements of standard and unforeseen applications, Adelsystem takes
charge of battery charging and allows designers to safely concentrate
on other more strategic issues of their projects.
This is the background that led to the development of the CB Series
battery chargers with output voltage 12, 24 and 36 V.
They are extremely compact and cost-effective. Thanks to the CB units
it will be possible to keep in stock a single multi-purpose product suited
to different rated input voltage 120V - 230 Vac, all battery types and able
to match most current and voltage output requirement.
Switching technology and the Battery Care concept, since years parts
of the core know-how at ADEL system, led to the development of this
advanced multi-stage battery charging method, completely automatic
and suited to meet the most advanced requirements of battery manufacturers.
The Battery Care concept is base on algorithms that implement rapid
and automatic charging, battery charge optimization during time, flat
batteries recovery and real time diagnostic during installation and
operation. Battery faults such as battery sulfatation, elements in short
circuit, accidental reverse polarity connection can easily be detected,
identified and removed.
Safety and long term reliability mean optimized charge and extended
battery life. Irreversible damaging conditions are prevented by continuosly adapting charging parameters to charge status of the battery and
ambient conditions.
The CB Series meet the highest standards of quality and insure high
reliability, with MTBF values up to 300.000 hours.

Recovery charging

One device for all

battery types

Multi-Stage charging Three charging modes

Completely automatic, the battery

chargers of the CB series are microprocessor controlled devices suited to
charging most batteries types thank
to factory pre-set and selectable
charging curves.
They can charge open lead acid,
sealed lead acid, Gel and Ni-Cd,
Ni-MH batteries. It is possible
to change or add other charging
curves connecting the device to a
portable PC.

Automatic multi-stage operation

and real time diagnostic allow fast
recharge and recovery of deep
discharged batteries, adding value
and reliability to the system hosting
the CB device. The type of charging
it is Voltages stabilized and current
stabilized IUoUo.
CB battery chargers feature three
charging modes, identified by a
flashing code on a LED.

voltage is very low. CB can
recharge batteries even when
their voltage is close to zero. It
allows recharge and complete
recovery of flat batteries.

Diagnostic of battery
and device
All CB devices support the user
during installation and operation.
An LED flashing sequence code
allows to discriminate among
various possible faults.
LED Diagnosis:
1 ash
Reverse polarity, wrong battery
voltage.

Diagnostic checks
Monitor signals

Signal contacts
CB chargers indicate battery
status and faults also via a
change-over contact with
galvanic isolation.
Battery common fault.
Unit disconnected from mains.

Test of quality wire connections

During trickle charge the quality
(resistance) on the battery connection is
checked every 20 sec. This to detect if the
cable connection has been properly made.

3 ashes
Battery element in short circuit.

Visual indication

Diagnosis

Test of battery voltage connections

Appropriate voltage check, to prevent
connection of wrong battery types.
End of charging check
When the battery it is completely full,
the device automatically switch in trickle
charging mode.
Reverse polarity check
If the battery it is connected with inverted
polarity, the devices are automatically
protected.

Technology
The CB series is a new range of
battery chargers based on two
strategic know-how elements.
Switching technology
Adel system has a 20 year
experience in design of advanced
stabilized switching technology
power supplies. A battery charger
based on this technology is much
more efficient and much smaller
and lighter than traditional linear
technology battery chargers.
Micro-processor and Battery Care
Unlike most other state-of-the-art
battery chargers, the CB series is
equipped with a micro-processor
which controls the charging process
and enables several monitoring
functions. The firmware implements
the extended Adel battery care
know-how, result of many years of
experience in this field

All protections have automatic reset.

No thermal fuse to be replaced.

Norms
The series complies with the most
demanding current norms.

Innovation and Functionality

Adelsystem continues to increase its offer of innovative and functional products for DC power back-up and battery
charging in DIN mounting conguration. The already wide range of products available is now integrated by the
CB Series, the last generation of battery chargers, a real revolution in battery charging technology. Yet another
innovative solution developed by Adelsystem R&D team for the expert designer and the user who need problem free
operation. The CB Series implements the Battery Care concept. The battery charger is no longer a basic device.
It integrates all the other functions to convert it into a reliable elements of the system, capable of monitoring and
protecting the battery over time. This in order to give complete and trouble-free tools to designers, for a wide range of
application, in conformity with the highest standards and in the most cost-effective way.
