3. Inisyal Enstalasyon

Before connecting the device, ensure the installation environment is dry, well-ventilated, and free from flammable materials. Verify that the AC power source matches the automatic bivolt input range (127V/220V AC).

1. Plasman: Place the Bravo Charger on a stable, non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate space around the unit for proper ventilation and cooling.
2. Koneksyon pouvwa AC: Connect the provided AC power cable to the charger's AC power connector, then plug it into a suitable wall outlet. The unit will automatically detect the voltage.
3. Koneksyon Sòti DC: Connect the DC output cables to your battery or audio system according to the installation instructions provided in Section 5. Ensure correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative) and secure connections.
4. Pouvwa sou: Press the ON/OFF key. The display should illuminate, indicating the unit is operational.

4. Operasyon Modes

The Bravo Charger offers three distinct operating modes to cater to different power and charging requirements. Use the MODE & PROG. bouton pou chanje mòd sa yo.

4.1. Vol fikstage Mode

This mode allows you to select a precise output voltage ranging from 12.6Vdc to 14.4Vdc. It is ideal for directly powering audio amplifiers and other automotive electronic devices that require a stable, constant voltage supply. This mode does not actively charge a battery but maintains a set voltage.

4.2. Fast Charge Mode

The Fast Charge mode provides a higher current output compared to slow charges. It is recommended when batteries are significantly discharged and there is insufficient time for a complete slow charge. This mode aims to quickly bring the battery to a usable charge level.

4.3. Slow Charge Mode (Smart Charge System)

This mode features the exclusive SMART CHARGE SYSTEM, which intelligently regulates voltages for efficient and safe charging. The Slow Charge mode prevents batteries from overcharging or overheating, thereby extending their overall lifespan and maintaining optimal performance over time. This is the preferred mode for regular battery maintenance and full charging.

5. Enstriksyon Enstalasyon

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your Bravo Charger. Always ensure correct polarity and secure connections.

5.1. Simple Installation (Single Power Supply)

This configuration is for charging a single battery or battery bank and simultaneously supplying power to sound equipment using one Bravo Charger.

Diagram for simple installation with a single Bravo Charger.

• Connect the positive (+) output of the charger (typically a red cable) to the positive terminal of the battery.
• Connect the negative (-) output of the charger (typically a black cable) to the negative terminal of the battery.
• For powering an amplifier or other devices, connect their positive input to the charger's positive output/battery positive, and their negative input to the charger's negative output/battery negative.
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Refer to appropriate cable gauge recommendations for your specific setup (cable table not provided in this manual).

5.2. Parallel Installation (Multiple Power Supplies)

This setup is utilized when two or more Bravo Chargers are needed to power high-demand sound equipment and maintain a larger battery bank.

Diagram for parallel installation with multiple Bravo Chargers.

• When using more than one power supply in parallel, TOUT power supplies must be configured to the VOL FIKSTAGE mòd.
• Smart charge modes (Fast Charge, Slow Charge) should SÈLMAN be used with a single power supply connected.
• Connect the positive outputs of all Bravo Chargers together, and then connect this combined positive line to the positive terminal of the battery and the positive input of the amplifier.
• Similarly, connect the negative outputs of all Bravo Chargers together, and then connect this combined negative line to the negative terminal of the battery and the negative input of the amplifier.
• Ensure all connections are robust and capable of handling the combined current.

• Enspeksyon kab: Periodically check all AC and DC cable connections for tightness, signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
• Depo: Lè w pa itilize chargeur a pou yon bon bout tan, sere l nan yon kote ki fre epi sèk, lwen limyè solèy dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm.

NAN. Depanaj

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Bravo Charger.

8.1. Pwoblèm komen ak solisyon yo

• Aparèy la pa limen:
  • Check the AC power connection to the wall outlet and ensure it is securely plugged into the charger.
  • Verifye si priz miray la ap fonksyone byen lè w teste l avèk yon lòt aparèy.
  • Ensure the ON/OFF key on the charger is pressed to the 'ON' position.
• Battery not charging or power output is low:
  • Check the DC output connections to the battery for proper polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) and secure contact. Loose connections can impede current flow.
  • Ensure the correct operating mode (Fast Charge or Slow Charge) is selected for battery charging. If in Fixed Voltage mode, it will not actively charge.
  • Verify the battery is not severely damaged or completely dead, which might prevent it from accepting a charge.
  • If using multiple chargers in parallel, ensure they are all in Fixed Voltage mode and connected correctly.
• Charger is overheating:
  • Ensure the charger has adequate ventilation and its cooling fans are not obstructed by objects or dust.
  • Reduce the load on the charger if possible. Excessive load can cause increased heat.
  • If overheating persists despite proper ventilation and reduced load, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
