4. Configuració i instal·lació

4.1. Connexió d'alimentació CA

Connect the AC power cord to a standard wall outlet. The Bravo Charger features an automatic BI-VOLT input, adapting to 127V or 220V AC without manual selection.

4.2. DC Output Connection (Battery/System)

Ensure the charger is turned off before making any connections. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the charger to the positive terminal of the battery/system, and the negative (-) terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery/system. Use appropriate gauge cables as specified in your system requirements.

4.3. Parallel Installation

For powering sound equipment and maintaining a charged battery bank using two or more power supplies in parallel, it is crucial to use only the FIX VOLTAGMode E. All power supplies must be configured for the same output voltage. Smart charge modes (Fast/Slow Charge) should only be used with a single power supply connected.

5. Modes de funcionament

5.1. Fast Charge Mode

This mode delivers a higher current to the battery, suitable for situations where batteries are significantly discharged and a quick charge is required. The charger will provide maximum current until the battery reaches a full charge, then transition to float mode.

5.2. Slow Charge Mode (Smart Charge System)

The exclusive Smart Charge System in this mode regulates voltages for efficient and gentle charging. It prevents overcharging and excessive heating, which helps to prolong the overall lifespan and performance of your batteries. Once the battery is fully charged, the system automatically switches to a float charge to maintain the charge without damage.

5.3. Vol fixtage Mode

This mode allows you to select a constant output voltage to directly power audio amplifiers or other 12V DC devices. Available voltage options typically include 12.6Vdc, 14.4Vdc, and 15.4Vdc. This mode is ideal for maintaining a stable power supply to your audio system, even when the vehicle's battery is discharged or not present.

5.4. Ajust Voltage Configuració

El voltage settings (12.6V, 14.4V, 15.4V) can be easily adjusted using the switch located on the side panel of the charger. Refer to Figure 3.3 for the location of the voltage interruptor de selecció.

6. Informació de seguretat

• Always ensure proper ventilation around the charger to prevent overheating.
• No exposeu el carregador a la pluja, la humitat ni a temperatures extremes.
• Eviteu curtcircuitar els terminals de sortida.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the charger. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Mantenir fora de l'abast dels nens.
• Ensure all connections are secure before turning on the charger.

7. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter any issues with your Stetsom Bravo Charger, please refer to the following general guidelines:

• Sense energia: Check the AC power connection and ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify the power outlet is functional.
• Sense sortida/càrrega: Ensure DC output connections to the battery/system are correct and secure. Check the selected mode and voltage configuració.
• Sobreescalfament: Ensure the charger has adequate ventilation and is not covered. Reduce the load if possible.
