QUICK STARTUP
TURN OFF ALL POWER AND TURN OFF UMC'S INPUT & OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS (CB1 & CB2)

1. Move input jumpers on I/O panel to match the required input voltage. See connection chart on wiring diagram
inside enclosure.
2. Connect the input terminals (TB1-L1/L2) to available ac power.
3. See table/nameplate for input currents required.
4. If reduced input/output currents are required, adjust the Output Current Limit to minimum (counter-clockwise).
5. Connect cables to the dc bus or battery (properly rate wire size for the current required).
6. Select output voltage rating 130V, 48V or 24V using the Voltage Selector Switch on front panel.
7. Set Voltage Check switch to Charger Voltage (left position).
8. Turn on ac source and the ac input circuit breaker and adjust output voltage to desired set point. DO NOT
turn on the dc output circuit breaker at this point. Monitor the output voltage on the dc voltmeter, and adjust
the Output Voltage control slowly to the desired value. It may take several seconds for the output voltage to
settle to the desired voltage.
9. Set Voltage Check switch to Battery Voltage (right position). Check for proper polarity and voltage.
10. Turn on the dc output circuit breaker; current will be displayed on the ac and dc ammeters.
11. Increase Current Limit Adjustment clockwise to obtain the desired output current. Monitor the ac input current
on the ac ammeter in the lower right corner of the front panel. Do not allow the input current to exceed 66
Aac, as shown in the table below.

INPUT CURRENT TABLE


** Full output current at 120Vac input will cause the input current to exceed breaker rating.

IMPORTANT OPERATION NOTES:


The battery charger’s output voltage is capable of adjustment over 145Vdc. The output current limit needs to
be reduced to 90% of charger’s full current rating when operating at levels above 145Vdc.
Adjust the Output Current Limit of 50A units to 40A.
Adjust the Output Current Limit of 25A units to 22A.

WARNINGS WITH WORKING WITH BATTERIES:


Some reasons why someone would wish to overcharge a battery bank is when the battery’s temperature is
very low or the electrolyte has stratified. Once charging takes place the batteries may start to heat or electrolyte mixes
and the batteries will start to show signs of gassing. The charger WILL need to be readjusted to a lower output
voltage to prevent damage to the batteries.

NEVER LEAVE BATTERIES UNATTENDED DURING THIS KIND OF CHARGING!


NEVER LET THE INTERNAL PLATES OF THE BATTERY TO BE EXPOSED TO AIR!
FOLLOW ALL RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES PROVIDED BY THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER!

Battery banks bigger than 130Vdc can be charged. Connect to a portion of the bank at a time and move to the next
portion until all the batteries are charged. This should only be done if there is no or little standing load while charging.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Although the battery charger is designed to operate with a battery, it can be connected to loads such as dc-to-dc power
supplies or inverters. Ripple content is designed to be below 200 mVac rms, without the battery connected, on resistive load. The
battery charger is designed to connect to a high capacitive load like a battery. It is wise to consider the effect when large inductive
loads are attached, like a dc motor without the battery. The response to these loads is a reduction of output voltage with a
recovery time in seconds. Once the load is stabilized the battery charger will support most loads with little problem. Conversely
when loads are shed, there may be a voltage rise in the output due to the large filter stage. Care needs to be taken when the loads
attached are sensitive to voltages 5% above the charger’s set voltage level.
This charger can be used on any number of lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, or nickel-iron cells as long as the desired voltages
are within the range of the charger. Batteries are not alike so check with the battery manufacture’s charging procedures and
practices. Pay attention to what the batteries are doing during the charging process. Some battery types may produce more gas
(hydrogen and oxygen) and need to be monitored for loss of water. Never leave the charger unattended for long periods of time.
The battery charger can be installed in an environment more severe then specifications allow. Reduce the output current
to 60% of the charger’s rated output for 50ºC ambient or 3,300 ft (1,000m) above sea level.

1
3. INSTALLATION

a. Location: Select a clean, dry location for the battery charger. It may be located in the battery room, but not over the
battery, and must be upright. The openings for ventilation in the top, bottom and sides of the cabinet should not be
obstructed, as they provide cooling and ventilation. Ambient temperatures between 32° F and 122° F, and elevations up
to 3,300 feet above sea level, will not affect the performance of the charger. Operation at higher temperatures, or at
higher elevations, is possible if the output current limit is reduced.

b. AC Wire Sizes (recommended):


Check with local codes for wire sizing. These chargers are capable of connections of 120V, 208V, 240V or 480V (60
Hz) ac single phase. Consult jumpers required on I/O and connection input for each input required. A connection
diagram is located in the charger. See also the electrical schematic (JE5039) and connection diagram (JE5040) located
at the end of this manual.

130V-25A SINGLE PHASE


AC INPUT VOLTAGE WIRE SIZE FULL LOAD INPUT CURRENT
120** 8** 32****(reduced output only)
208/240 8 34/30
480 14 16

130V-50A SINGLE PHASE


AC INPUT VOLTAGE WIRE SIZE FULL LOAD INPUT CURRENT
120** 6** 65**(reduced output only)
208/240 6 61/54
480 10 30
** 120Vac input requires the output current reduced to 50% so not to exceed input breaker rating

c. Wire Sizes DC:


25 Ampere unit: use #8 AWG. wire
50 Ampere unit: use #6 AWG. wire

Connect the dc cables, making sure (+) and (-) polarity is maintained.

4. POWERING UP

a. With the ac and dc breakers (CB1/CB2) OFF, select desired voltage required for bus or battery (24V, 48V or 130V).
b. Reduce the OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT ADJUST control (R12) to desired level. This adjustment will limit output
current. This is helpful for two reasons. Temporary dc lines are often used to connect to the dc bus, and large wire may
not be available for quick installation in an emergency. Also the input feed may need to be connected to a source with
limited current capability. Reducing the output current will also limit input current.
c. Set VOLTAGE CHECK switch (SW2) to "CHARGER VOLTAGE". This will allow the user to see and adjust the
battery charger’s output voltage prior to being connected to the batteries.
d. The charger can now be energized, by first closing the ac breaker (CB1). The "AC ON" lamp (DS01) will light. The
front panel meter indicates the charger voltage. With the dc breaker (CB2) off, there will be no current flowing.
e. Adjust the OUTPUT VOLTAGE control (R5) to desired charging voltage. This control allows for adjustment for a wide
variety of battery banks.
f. Switch the VOLTAGE CHECK switch (SW2) to "BATTERY VOLTAGE". The dc voltmeter (M2) will now indicate
the battery voltage and the user can compare the battery voltage and the charger voltage before turning on the dc breaker
(CB2). The meter will also display a "-" if the battery is connected in reverse polarity. Verify that the battery polarity is
correct before proceeding.
g. Turn on the dc breaker (CB2). If the charger’s voltage is higher then the battery voltage, current will flow. You may
need to rotate the OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT ADJUST control (R12) to allow current to flow.
h. Increase the OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT ADJUST control (R12) to desired current level. The battery charger will be in
current limit until the battery’s voltage reaches the same level as the battery charger. Current limit adjustment needs to be
set with current flowing into the batteries. Do not set the current limit higher than 110% of current rating of the charger.

7. MAINTENANCE

This charger requires a minimum of maintenance. There are no rotating parts and most components have an indefinite
life with no expected aging effect. Large electrolytic capacitors (C1, C2) have a 20-year expected service life. They should be
replaced when the output ripple voltage exceeds 500 mVrms, measured with a resistive load. If necessary, dry air may be used to
blow dust out of the interior. In the event of any irregular operation, examine, and tighten if necessary, all internal and external
connections. The unit is designed to be mobile. However do not drop or slam the equipment down. If the charger is dropped,
inspect interior for damage or loose components. NOTE: The warranty does not cover damage due to dropping.

8. INTERNAL PROTECTION

When operating normally, the OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT ADJUST control (R12) will limit the maximum output
current to approximately 110 percent of the rated charge current. In case of a high dc current demand, the current limit control
will keep the charger output within safe values without tripping the dc circuit breaker (CB2) or the ac breaker (CB1). The
connection of the 120V input needs to have the current limit control reduced to 50%. The input circuit breaker (CB1) is designed
to protect the equipment at the 208/240 Vac connection. The input current for 120Vac is two (2) times the rating of the ac input
circuit breaker (CB1). At the 480 Vac connection, the charger is protected by ac fuses (F3/F4) in addition to the ac circuit breaker
(CB1). The dc circuit breaker (CB2) will trip if over current occurs or battery is connected in reverse polarity. Metal-Oxide
Varistors (SS1/SS2) are used on the ac input and dc output for surge protection.

9. DESCRIPTIONS OF COMPONENT OPERATION

The Universal Maintenance Charger (UMC) uses an SCR phase-controlled ac-to-dc isolated power circuit. The
following is a basic description of the main components, from input to output.

1. AC Input Power Section: This section includes the input terminals, CB1, F3 and F4, SS2 and T1. Its purpose is
to supply an ac voltage of the proper magnitude and capacity to the rectifier section. It also supplies various other voltages used
by the control unit and meters. It is connected to an ac source by means of a circuit breaker for most inputs and fuses and breaker
in the 480 Vac input connection. The power transformer (T1) is an isolation type to prevent any currents from flowing into the dc
bus from the ac line.
2. Rectifier Section: The Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) bridge accepts the ac voltage from the power
transformer (T1), rectifies this voltage to dc, and controls the voltage’s magnitude so that the charger’s output voltage remains
constant. The firing angle of the SCRs (Q1/Q2) is controlled by the action of the control module pc board (A1). The SCRs are
protected from ac and dc voltage surges by means of Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV) surge suppressors (SS1, SS2).
3. The Control Module: This printed circuit board (A1) generates a signal that phase-fires the gates of the SCRs
(Q1/Q2). The output voltage of the charger is monitored by the voltage feedback circuit and advances or retards the phase angle
of the trigger pulses so that the output voltage is maintained essentially constant.
4. The Filter Section: The eliminator-filter assembly (L2/C1/C2/CR1) minimizes the ac ripple voltage at the battery
terminals. To accomplish this, the charger includes a low pass filter consisting of inductors (L1, L2) and capacitors (C1, C2). The
filter section also includes a diode (CR1) placed across the output to prevent a reverse polarity battery connection from damaging
the capacitors (C1, C2).
5. Meters: The dc ammeter (M1) uses a shunt (R13) to measure output current. The ac ammeter (M3) uses a
current transformer (CT1) to measure ac input. The dc voltmeter (M2) and dc ammeter (M1) operate from a 10 Vdc supply
powered by the transformer (T1) and a small rectifier circuit.
6. DC Output: The dc output circuit breaker (CB2) allows the user to disconnect the dc bus or battery from the
charging circuit. The voltmeter can be switched from the dc bus to the battery charger’s internal voltage using the selector switch
(SW2). This allows the user to inspect setup prior to final connection.
7. Controls: The output adjustment knobs on the front panel control the output voltage (R5) and the output current
(R12). These controls allow the user to adjust the charger for many charging applications. The voltage adjustment will be
overridden by the current limit adjustment. The voltage adjustment is the fine adjustment of the output voltage. The current limit
adjustment controls the maximum current allowed to be transferred to the load or battery.

UNIVERSAL MAINTENANCE CHARGER (UMC)
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR

CAUTION: Before troubleshooting, always isolate and deenergize the charger by opening the ac
circuit breaker (CB1) and the dc circuit breaker (CB2). This avoids the possibility of personnel
injury or equipment damage from high short circuit currents. NOTE: Circuit breaker terminals and
terminal boards have dangerous voltages across them even when breakers are open. After isolating
the charger, check to insure the voltage across filter capacitors is zero, for once charged they take
several minutes to discharge if bleeder resistor (R1) is open. The dc circuit breaker (CB2) is
provided to isolate the charger from the battery. Battery buss voltage will still be present on the
input terminals and one side of the dc breaker (CB2). The meter select switch (SW2) will also hold
the battery voltage. It is best to remove the battery connection at the battery for safety reasons.

AFTER LOCATING THE CHARGER PROBLEM, ALWAYS DE-ENERGIZE ALL


AC AND DC CHARGER INPUTS AT THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING

NOTE: Most repairs are performed with standard hand tools. Mark wires and refer to the
connection diagram (JE5040) during replacement of any components.

1. QUICK FIRST CHECKS


• Check voltage of the ac supply to insure that it is within 10% of the value of the specified input voltage.
• Inspect the I/O connections for proper jumper configuration.
• Turn the current limit control clockwise.
• Examine charger for any evident loose or improper connections, particularly at the control unit, transformer
T1, input and output terminals.
• Check continuity of battery circuit by comparing voltage at charger terminals with total of cell voltages.
• Check the battery: if a cell is open or a connection is loose current may not flow into the battery bank.

2. TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURE
a. When a charger is not operating properly, the cause must be determined by checking various components
until the fault is located.
b. A charger may experience more than one problem, each with its own symptoms. In many cases, failure of
one component may cause another component to fail. Therefore, the following paragraphs treat major components,
functional circuits and parts individually (or by symptom). Together with serviceability measurements and tests, the
faulty part or component should be located.
c. Most of the following checks can be performed with a DVM (digital voltmeter or digital multimeter); an
oscilloscope may also be helpful with more extensive troubleshooting.

4
3. TESTING OF COMPONENTS

a. Power Transformer (T1)

With the ac and dc circuit breakers open or OFF, open the cabinet and carefully check the line voltage
across line terminals on TB1, terminals L1 to L2 (do not confuse terminals L1 and L2 with the inductor components,
also labeled L1 and L2). If ac voltage is indicated, turn on the ac circuit breaker (CB1) and check the voltage at
terminals X1 and X5. The ac secondary voltage on the power transformer (T1) is approximately 180Vac. This can
be measured at the bottom terminal of each SCR (Q1/Q2) with a DVM.

b. Polarity Protection Diode (CR1)

If the polarity protection diode (CR1) is shorted, the battery will discharge into it. This will trip the dc
circuit breaker (CB2). With all power disconnected from the charger, disconnect the flying lead of CR1 and check
across the diode with an ohmmeter (both polarities) for a shorted condition and replace if required. A normal diode
should measure at least 10,000 Ohms in one polarity.

c. Rectifier Modules (Q1/Q2)

The SCRs (Q1/Q2) rarely fail while open. If a failure in the SCRs, the breaker(s) will trip similar to the
polarity diode (CR1). To check the device(s), remove wires from the SCR modules (Q1/Q2) and inspect with an
ohmmeter for shorted terminals. See the schematic symbol on the side of the device for terminal connections. SCR
modules usually fail because of surge voltages. Therefore the surge suppressors (SS1, SS2) should also be checked
to determine if they are damaged or not connected.

d. Surge Suppressors (SS1, SS2)

The Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV) type of surge suppressor is used on the input and output of the battery
charger. If an MOV surge suppressor fails during a high-energy transient it may explode. This is an obvious failure
and the part must be replaced. When the suppressor shows an infinite resistance in both directions measured with it
disconnected from the charger and has a normal appearance it can be presumed to be in good operating condition.
There is no way to test a good MOV.

e. Control Module PC Board Assembly (A1)

The voltage feedback and Current Limit circuit controls the battery charger output voltage. The feedback
voltage from the wiper of the Voltage Adjustment potentiometer to output terminal (-) is 6-7Vdc when the charger is
not in current limit. If the charger’s output voltage is lower then expected, the resistors in the feedback loop should
be checked or current limit control may not be fully CW, or the charger may be in current limit.

f. DC Voltmeter (M2)

The dc voltmeter (M2) is connected across the charger’s output or the charger’s input before the dc
breaker (CB2) depending on the position of the Voltage Check switch (SW2). The meter will only indicate if the
charger’s input power is applied and ac breaker (CB1) is on. If there is no display, check for 9 volts at pins 2 and 3
(around 9.5Vdc). The input signal is connected to pins 14 and 15 (output Volts/100). Calibrate the dc voltmeter
(M2) by adjusting the potentiometer (R10), located on the breaker panel. If the meter calibration is in doubt, check
by using a precision meter. If the voltmeter requires adjustment a calibration potentiometer is located inside the
battery charger.

5
g. DC Ammeter (M1)

The charger’s dc ammeter (M1) measures a shunt (R13) connected in series between the charger’s output
and battery. The shunt is a 100A / 100mV shunt or 50A / 50mV shunt, depending on the model. But in either case
the signal is 1mV for every Ampere out. Like the dc voltmeter (M2), it will only indicate if the charger’s ac breaker
(CB1) is on and input power is connected.

h. Filter Capacitors (C1, C2)

CAUTION: When the dc circuit breaker (CB2) is turned ON, the filter capacitors (C1/C2) can be charged by
the battery. Making the connection at the battery while the dc circuit breaker (CB2) is on may cause an arc at the
battery terminal. Always turn off the dc circuit breaker (CB2) when connecting the battery. When the charger is
turned OFF (ac and dc circuit breakers opened) the capacitor will take a minute to discharge into the bleeder resistor
(R1). Filter capacitors (C1, C2) should always be checked for voltage before starting work inside the battery charger.

NOTE: Capacitors (C1, C2) may consist of one or more parallel-connected capacitors.

Before attempting to check the output ripple, it should be determined that in all other respects the charger
is operating normally. Having determined this, the ripple may be checked by connecting a sensitive ac voltmeter
(digital type preferred) to the battery terminals and measure the ac ripple voltage. If it measures more than 200 mV
rms, do the following:

1. Check all filter capacitors (C1, C2) for any physical damage
2. Check wiring to capacitors for possible loose connections
3. Check to see if both the SCRs (Q1/Q2) are firing. (If only one of the SCRs is turning on,
the charger will make a rumbling sound when current is flowing.)
