** For variant 03 (For other battery types), the float voltage can be adjusted between 12.5V and 15V
for DSE9130 12V 5A chargers (25V - 30V for DSE9250 24V 3.7A chargers). This change must be
made at the DSE factory. Ensure the correct variant (and float voltage if applicable) is specified on
ordering. Consult your battery manufacturer for further details of required float voltage.

DSE9000 battery chargers

3 INSTALLATION
NOTE : The DSE9000 series battery charger should only be used to charge one
battery bank at a time. It is not recommended to parallel batteries as the tolerance of the
batteries leads to imbalance in their charging.
The DSE9000 battery charger is designed to mounted within a control panel, on the panel DIN rail
utilising the integral mounts or on a chassis utilising the mounting holes. For dimension and mounting
details, see the section entitled Specification, Dimensions elsewhere in this document.
The DSE9000 battery charger is fit-and-forget. It can be permanently connected to the supply and the
load, with no requirement to disable the charger during times of heavy load (such as engine cranking).

3.1

BATTERY SUITABILITY

The standard charger is factory set by DSE to suit Lead Acid batteries but can be adjusted at the time
of ordering to suit other battery types. Care should be taken to ensure the batteries connected to the
charger are of the correct technology to suit the setting of the charger.

4.1.2

OPERATING MODES

The DSE9000 series of battery chargers can be used as a battery charger, DC power supply, or both
at the same time. For instance, the units can be used to power the generator control panels and
charge the panel batteries or starter batteries at the same time.
With no AC input to the charger, the Charge fail relay will be closed. This can be used to provide
indication of charger failure which operates upon mains supply AC supply failure or battery charging
failure.
When a suitable AC supply is connected, operation of the unit will depend upon the load connected to
the units output terminals :
Battery connected The charging operation will begin (Charge mode)
No Battery connected The output voltage will be enabled. (PSU mode)
Reverse connected battery The charger will remain in charge fail mode.
Short circuit The charger will remain in charge fail mode.

4.1.3

PSU MODE

If no battery is connected to the output terminals, the DSE9000 battery charger will operate as a DC
power supply only, current limit is factory set. See the section entitled Specification elsewhere in this
manual for output specifications.

4.1.4

CHARGE MODE

Constant Voltage
The DSE9000 battery charger operates in Constant voltage current limited mode.
The charger output voltage is maintained at a constant level to allow the battery to charge while the
load does not exceed the maximum rating of the charger.
Once the battery is fully charged, the DSE9000 battery charger will switch to ECO-POWER mode.
This is a low power use standby mode.
Current Limit
If the load on the battery charger (battery charge demand+standing load) exceeds the maximum
current rating of the charger, the charging current is limited to the maximum rating of the charger and
the voltage is reduced.
The voltage will rise to the rated voltage again once the load drops below the maximum rating of the
charger.
Charging time
Charge time is often of little consequence when the battery is used in a standby operation. An
example of this is when the battery is used to supply the starting system of a diesel generator. During
normal operation, the battery is at full capacity and the battery charger is used to maintain the float
voltage of the battery. The battery is only drained when the generator is called to start. As the
generator has a DC charging alternator fitted, the battery is quickly recharged when the generator is
running. Should the generator stop before the battery is fully recharged, the DSE9000 will continue to
recharge the battery until it is fully charged.
Typically a battery will charge from flat to 80% capacity in 16hrs when when charged at C/10.
For example charging a 50Ah battery for 16hrs at 5A will charge the battery to 80% of its full capacity.
Remember to take into account any other standing load such as control panel requirements when
calculating how much power is left to charge the battery.

BOOST MODE

(Not applicable to DSE9150 12V 2A or DSE9155 30V 2A)

CAUTION : Boost mode is intended for equalisation of the cells in lead acid
batteries and should not be operated when the battery charger is connected to other
battery types or when the charger is used as a power supply only. If in doubt, consult
your battery manufacturer.
Boost mode is operated by connecting the BOOST terminals together (for instance with an external
switch or timer circuit). This will raise the battery charger floating voltage by 0.8V DC.

5 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Nature of problem
The charger is not operating

Charge fail relay


continuously operated
Batteries fail to charge
Charge time is too long

Suggestion
Check that the incoming AC supply is correctly connected and within
limits and check the integrity of any external fuse that may be fitted.
Ensure the charger is not being operated above the maximum
temperature specification.
Check the connected load of the charger is not reverse connected or
short circuit.
Check the batteries using the battery manufacturers
recommendations.
Typically a battery will charge from flat to 80% capacity in 16hrs when
when charged at C/10.
For example charging a 50Ah battery for 16hrs at 5A will charge the
battery to 80% of its full capacity.
Remember to take into account any other standing load such as
control panel requirements when calculating how much power is left
to charge the battery.

6 MAINTENANCE, SPARES, REPAIR AND SERVICING


The DSE9000 battery chargers is designed to be Fit and Forget. As such, there are no user
serviceable parts. In the case of malfunction you should contact your original equipment supplier
(OEM).

7 WARRANTY
DSE provides limited warranty to the equipment purchaser at the point of sale. For full details of any
applicable warranty, you are referred to your original equipment supplier (OEM).

8 DISPOSAL
8.1

WEEE (WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT)

Directive 2002/96/EC
If you use electrical and electronic equipment you must store, collect, treat,
recycle and dispose of WEEE separately from your other waste.

8.2

ROHS (RESTRICTION OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

Directive 2002/95/EC:2006
To remove specified hazardous substances (Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Cadmium, PBB &
PBDEs)
Exemption Note: Category 9. (Monitoring & Control Instruments) as defined in Annex 1B of the WEEE
directive will be exempt from the RoHS legislation. This was confirmed in the August 2005 UKs
Department of Trade and Industry RoHS REGULATIONS Guide (Para 11).
Despite this exemption DSE has been carefully removing all non RoHS compliant components from
our supply chain and products.
When this is completed a Lead Free & RoHS compatible manufacturing process will be phased into
DSE production.
This is a process that is almost complete and is being phased through different product groups.
