DESCRIPTION AND SCHEMATIC
Schematic
Description
The CAN-BUS Bms Module allows the charger to gather more information regarding the battery connected to it and to give further control over the charging cycle. If the optionals Water Level Sensor and Temperature Probe are installed, the PRO Control card can stop the charging cycle if the temperature rises above 60°C and automatically re-start it if it lowers below 45°C. It can also prevent the charge from starting if the water level measured from the Water Level Sensor is too low. By Giving an ID to the Battery and Charger, is possible to keep an accurate track of the battery life. Combining with each other, the IDs can give full control over big fleets and rentals units. This helps to keep the warranty of the controlled units under check and have accurate data of the customer usage. The tools provided by TCE Srl to do it are the PC Utility Tool Software, a simple executable program that doesn’t require any installation, and the TCE Cloud™ service found on our website.
FEATURES
Possibility to give a customized ID to the battery Through the ID, is possible to monitor the battery life and have a full report using the Utility Tool on a PC
Battery IDs and Charger IDs can combine with each other to give a detailed history of both the battery and the charger
Possibility to control many big fleets sorted by customer using the TCE Cloud™ directly on our website.
In case of optionals installed, the charge can be further controlled to prevent any damage to the battery

Description
When a device is connected to the Wi-Fi Charger Module, through a web interface it will be possible to visualize in real time what the charger is doing (charging cycle and functions), download the stored data inside the PRO Control card and analyze it.
The Module can be connected to a local server to automatically and periodically upload all the stored data. By using the TCE Cloud™ service directly on our website, analyze all the stored data from all the chargers connected to the local server is simple and intuitive.
In case of Access Point (or 3G/4G Dongle), the upload of the files can be to an external server. In this case it will be possible to remotely view the data of the Chargers on a webinterface.
The connection between the Local Server and the Access Point can be wireless or via a normal Ethernet Cable.
The USB Port, installed on the Module, allows the automatic download of the data on a storage device (Ex. USB PenDrive) and update the software of the system installed (Wi-Fi Module, PRO Control card and Can/Bus module if installed).
FEATURES Create an hotspot of the charger with unique name to wireless download the stored data inside the PRO Control card
Can connect to any device with Wi-Fi Receiver (phone, tablet, PC, etc.)

CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Easy Wire System Cable Hook
The Easy Wire System is an automatic winding system of the charging cables. It preserves the quality of the cables, preventing any damage and guaranteeing their flexibility over time. This system also preserve the integrity of the connector that, when the cables are inside the cabinet, will hang just outside the exiting hole of the cabinet. This system cannot be installed after sale. Can be installed in the “S” and “E” cabinets.
A rally simple but efficient and economical solution to prevent the damaging of the charging cables. This accessory can be integrated on the charger after sale, offers a solution to the common problem of the damaging of the charging cables. Made with galvanized metal to prevent the formation of rust, colored with Anti-UV powder paint to prevent the fade of the color in case of direct sunlight for an extended period of time
CASE STAND CONNECTORS
The case stand is a handy accessory to preserve the integrity of the cabinet. Made with galvanized metal and then treated to withstand harsh working environments and bad weather, it offers a simple solutions to prevent damage caused by accidental bumps and hits. When the charger is on the stand, is possible to move it with a stacker or a fork truck.
It is possible to attach to the charger the battery plug and power plug to make the charger ready to use once received. We only high quality connectors from the main brands (REMA, Power Anderson, Ravioli, etc. etc.) to guarantee to the customer a correct execution of the charging cycle.
AUTOMATIC WATERING SYSTEM SIDE HANDLES
A feature that can be integrated within the PRO Control Card is the Automatic Watering System. This function allows the automatic watering of the battery with a system supplied by TCE. It is possible, through the display, to change the watering settings based on the battery brand and specifics, to guarantee its optimal topping.
The handles help the user to move the charger without any problems. They are simply installed through the side slits. Simple but yet useful, this accessory is avoids damage to the charger while moving it.

What is the length of the cable? The standard length of the cables supplied with T.C.E. chargers is 2 meters for the power cable and 2,8 meters for the exciting cable (red and black).
Why the charger is not turning on? The most common reasons why the charger is not turning on are:
Power supply is missing
Charger is not connected or not properly connected to the battery.
Wrong battery voltage
Battery is already fully charged
Fuse is blown
Anomalies The most common reasons why the anomalies are shown on the display or notified through the red LEDs on the front panel are:
The maximum charging time has been exceeded
Battery has been overly charged
Charging current is too high because of the wrong network voltage
Network is missing one phase
Defective battery or completely exhausted
Lack of a network connection during the charging cycle (Blackout)
Overheating (thermal-probe intervened)
SOLUTION: repeat the standard charging cycle, if the problem persists contact a technician.
Choose the correct charger for your fork truck To choose the most suitable charger for your battery check our website www.tcechargers.com and follow the guide “Choose in 3 steps” or follow the following
advices:
Based on the battery voltage, having the Ah capacity of the battery is possible to calculate the best charger for this battery
Example: battery 48V 600Ah – the charger must be the 16% of the battery capacity so 600Ah x 16% = 96Amp, adapt with the model that is closer to
the result so the in this case the best model would be a 48V 100Amp
Based on the time available to complete the charge:
Fast charge in 8-9h with the model WoWa
Standard charge in 10-12h with the model Wa
Considering the use of the fork truck
Example: if a battery is a 680 Ah x 16% = 109 Amp, the closest model would be a 120 Amp for a frequent use (daily charge) or choose a 100Amp for an
occasional use (a couple of times a week).
What is the equalization charge? The equalization charge is a supplementary charge that improves the energy performance of the battery. Its purpose is to balance the charging level of the
battery elements.
The charge starts automatically when the pre-set parameters on the control card match the parameters recorded directly from the battery.
This phase is handled by the microprocessor that decides both the length of the small charges and the length of the pauses based on the bat tery capacity.
How does the Maintenance Charge work?
The maintenance charge is used to avoid the inevitable natural loss of the battery charge. The T.C.E. chargers keep the voltage next to 2,3 V/el (Example: 26,76
for 24V batteries), and gives the current requested by the battery. When it starts, the charger at first gives the maximum current and then it starts to decrease
with the increasing of the battery voltage until it reaches the maintenance level. The advantage is that the charger can remain connected to the battery for long
periods of time and keep the battery always fully charge without provoking any damage.
How to optimize the performances and the lifespan of your battery
Batteries only require a low maintenance to be preserved in an optimal state:
Avoid to discharge the battery over 1,7V/el (Example 20,4 for 24V batteries). Plates are submitted to an excessive mechanical stress because of the variations of the volume of the active matter, they can be seriously damaged.
Avoid to overly charge or not charge enough the battery. The over charge of the battery can cause o overheat of the elements causing the active mater to emerge from the positive plates.
Never leave the battery unused for long periods, this causes sulfation phenomenon
Periodically check the electrolyte level. Make sure that the level is a centimeter above the upper side of the grids (if left uncovered by the electrolyte the part above the level will rapidly sulfate)
