Característiques clau

• Compacte i potent: The GEN5X2 is 37% smaller and 43% more powerful than its predecessor, designed for peak performance in harsh marine environments.
• Multi-Bank Charging: Features two independent banks, each providing 5 amps, per un total de 10 amps. This allows simultaneous charging of two 12V batteries in marine, boat, starter, and deep-cycle systems.
• Versatile Charging Modes: Offers selectable modes for each bank: 12V (for wet cell, gel, maintenance-free, calcium), 12V AGM, 12V Lithium (for LiFePO₄ with BMS), and 12V Repair Mode (for sulfated batteries).
• Precision Charging with Thermal Compensation: An integrated thermal sensor automatically adjusts charging based on ambient temperature, preventing overcharging in hot conditions and undercharging in cold conditions.
• Dead Battery Recovery: Capable of charging batteries from as low as 1 volt. Force Mode allows manual initiation of charging for deeply discharged batteries down to zero volts.
• Redefined Mounting System: Designed for fast and secure installation in any orientation, including upside down, with an integrated anti-vibration backing to isolate shock and noise.
• Disseny impermeable: Fully-sealed with an IP68 rating, engineered to withstand thousands of hours underwater in the harshest marine conditions.
• Funcionament automàtic: Provides year-round, all-weather charging. Features Zero Overcharge protection, allowing it to be left plugged in 24/7 without risk of overcharging. Auto Memory automatically returns to the last selected mode after power loss.

Configuració

Before initial use, ensure the charger is properly installed and connected. The GEN5X2 is designed for permanent onboard installation.

Passos d'instal·lació:

1. Trieu una ubicació de muntatge: Select a secure, dry, and well-ventilated location near the batteries. The charger can be mounted in any orientation.
2. Secure the Charger: Use the provided mounting screws to firmly attach the charger to the chosen surface. The anti-vibration backing helps reduce noise and shock.
3. Connect DC Cables: For each bank, connect the positive (+) eyelet terminal (red) to the positive battery terminal and the negative (-) eyelet terminal (black) to the negative battery terminal. Ensure connections are tight and secure.
4. Connecteu l'alimentació de CA: Plug the AC power cable into a suitable 120-240VAC outlet.

Instruccions de funcionament

The GEN5X2 operates automatically once connected. Follow these steps to select charging modes and understand the indicators.

Entendre el tauler de control:

This diagram details the control panel of the NOCO GEN5X2, showing the Mode button, voltage indicators, error LEDs, and charge status LEDs for each bank. It explains the function of each indicator and button.

• Botó de mode: Press to cycle through available charging modes (12V, 12V AGM, 12V Lithium, Repair Mode).
• LED de càrrega: Indicates the connected battery's state of charge.
• LED d'espera: Illuminates when the charger is in Standby Mode, not charging.
• Error LEDs: Indicate overvoltage, bad battery, or reverse polarity.

Procés de càrrega:

1. Encès: Once connected to AC power and batteries, the charger will automatically begin charging in the last used mode (Auto Memory).
2. Seleccioneu el mode: Press the "MODE" button for each bank to select the appropriate charging mode for your battery type. Hold the "MODE" button for 3 seconds to enter Repair Mode.
3. Supervisar el progrés: The Charge LEDs will illuminate to indicate the battery's state of charge. When fully charged, the charger will switch to maintenance mode.
4. Force Mode (for dead batteries): If a battery is below 1 volt, the charger may not detect it. Press and hold the "MODE" button for 3 seconds to activate Force Mode, which manually begins charging from zero volts.

This image demonstrates the "Force Mode" feature, showing a multimeter reading 0.00V on a battery and a hand pressing the mode button on the charger. This mode allows the GEN5X2 to manually begin charging severely discharged batteries that other chargers might not detect.

This image highlights the automatic and worry-free aspects of the NOCO GEN5X2. It shows the charger connected to two batteries in a vehicle, emphasizing year-round charging, zero overcharge protection (safe to leave plugged in 24/7), and auto memory that recalls the last selected mode.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your NOCO GEN5X2 charger.

• Neteja: Periodically clean the charger's exterior with a soft, damp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics aggressivs ni netejadors abrasius.
• Inspecció del cable: Regularly inspect the AC and DC cables for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Replace if damaged.
• Connexions de terminals: Ensure battery terminal connections remain clean and tight to prevent resistance and ensure efficient charging.
• Emmagatzematge: Quan no l'utilitzeu durant períodes prolongats, guardeu el carregador en un lloc fresc i sec.
