Description
Kussmaul Auto Charge 1000 PLC
The Kussmaul Auto Charge 1000 PLC offers advanced battery charging with innovative Parasitic Load Compensation (PLC) technology. Designed for vehicles with a single battery system, this compact, microprocessor-controlled charger ensures efficient and reliable operation. Its rugged construction and shock-resistant design make it ideal for emergency and heavy-duty vehicle applications.
Innovative Parasitic Load Compensation (PLC)
Emergency vehicles often have parasitic loads like flashlights, gas detectors, computers, and monitoring systems. These loads can confuse standard chargers, leading to overcharging or battery overheating. The PLC feature solves this by allowing users to input the vehicle’s total parasitic load in amps. The charger adjusts the absorption stage to drop the battery voltage to float mode when the desired current is reached. This prolongs battery life and prevents overcharging.
Automatic and Versatile Charging
The Auto Charge 1000 delivers 15A for battery charging and an additional 3A for battery saver functions. It features a microprocessor-controlled system that regulates output to a single battery bank. Precision voltage control eliminates the need for separate sense wires, simplifying setup and operation.
Customizable Settings for Battery Management
This charger supports multiple battery types, including Lead-Acid, Gel Cell, AGM, and Odyssey. Users can switch between float and 3-step charge modes based on specific needs. These features ensure flexibility and compatibility with various battery technologies.
Durable Design for Tough Conditions
The charger is built to withstand the harsh environments faced by vehicle-mounted equipment. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in demanding situations, making it a trusted solution for emergency vehicles and other heavy-duty applications.
