2. Consignes de sécurité
Respectez toujours les consignes de sécurité suivantes afin d'éviter les blessures corporelles ou les dommages matériels :
- Sécurité électrique : Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect AC power before making or breaking electrical connections.
- Sécurité des batteries : Batteries can produce explosive gases. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not smoke or allow open flames near batteries. Wear eye protection.
- Ventilation: Veillez à installer le chargeur dans un endroit bien ventilé afin d'éviter toute surchauffe.
- Exposition à l'eau : N’exposez pas le chargeur à l’eau ou à une humidité excessive.
- Volume correcttage: Vérifiez que le volume d'entréetage matches the charger's specifications (120-240V AC).
- Type de batterie correct : Ensure the charger settings are appropriate for the connected battery type (e.g., open, sealed, gel, AGM).
3. Installation
3.1 Déballage
Carefully remove the charger from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Montage
Mount the charger in a dry, well-ventilated location. Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit for airflow. Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
3.3 Connexions électriques
All electrical connections must comply with local regulations and standards.
3.3.1 Connexion d'entrée CA
- Ensure the AC power source is disconnected.
- Connect the AC input cable to the designated terminals on the charger.
- Verify correct polarity (Live, Neutral, Earth).
3.3.2 DC Output Connection (Battery Banks)
The Skylla-TG charger features two isolated DC outputs.
- Connect the main battery bank to the primary DC output terminals.
- Connect the starter or auxiliary battery (if applicable) to the secondary DC output terminals. The secondary output is limited to 4 Amps.
- Assurez-vous de respecter la polarité (positif avec positif, négatif avec négatif).
3.3.3 Connexion du capteur de température
Connect the supplied battery temperature sensor to the charger. Place the sensor on the battery bank to be charged. This allows the charger to automatically adjust charging voltage based on battery temperature, optimizing battery life.
Vol 3.3.4tagConnexion e Sense
Connectez le voltage sense wires directly to the battery terminals. This compensates for voltage drop in the main wiring, ensuring accurate charging voltage at the battery.
4. Mode d'emploi
4.1 Mise sous/hors tension
Once all connections are secure, connect the AC input power. The charger will initiate its startup sequence. To power off, disconnect the AC input power.
4.2 Charge Stages
The Skylla-TG charger utilizes a 3-stage regulated charging process:
- Masse: Charge la batterie à courant maximal jusqu'à ce que le volumetage reaches the absorption level.
- Absorption: Charges à volume constanttage, gradually reducing current, to fully charge the battery. The duration of this stage is adjustable via a switch.
- Flotter: Maintient la batterie à un volume bas et constanttage to prevent self-discharge and keep it fully charged.
4.3 Adjustable Absorption Duration
The absorption duration can be adjusted using a switch on the unit to optimize charging for different battery types and conditions.
4.4 Intelligent Startup Function
The charger features an "Intelligent startup" function that prevents initiating a full charge cycle on an already charged battery, thus extending battery life.
4.5 Using as a Power Supply
Thanks to its perfectly stabilized output voltage, the Skylla-TG can be used as a power supply without requiring connected batteries.
4.6 GMDSS Monitoring
The charger offers integrated GMDSS monitoring and alarm functions. All data and alarms can be displayed on a digital panel (VE.Net GMDSS panel, sold separately) for comprehensive system oversight.
5. Entretien
Un entretien régulier garantit des performances optimales et une longue durée de vie à votre chargeur :
- Nettoyage: Periodically clean the exterior of the charger with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
- Relations: Annually check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
- Inspection de la batterie : Regularly inspect batteries for signs of damage, leakage, or corrosion.
6. Dépannage
This section provides solutions to common issues. If the problem persists, contact Victron Energy support.
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Le chargeur ne s'allume pas | No AC input power; Blown fuse; Loose connections. | Check AC power supply; Inspect and replace fuse if necessary; Verify all connections are secure. |
| La batterie ne charge pas | Incorrect battery connections; Battery deeply discharged; Faulty battery. | Check DC output connections and polarity; Allow charger time to recover deeply discharged battery (if possible); Test battery condition. |
| Surchauffe | Ventilation insuffisante ; Surcharge. | Ensure adequate airflow around the charger; Reduce load if used as power supply; Check for obstructions in ventilation openings. |
| GMDSS alarm | Vol batterietage outside limits; System fault. | Consult the VE.Net GMDSS panel for specific alarm details; Check battery status and system connections. |
