2. DESCRIPTION

2.1 General

EasyPlus-functional

The EasyPlus is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger that features

adaptive charge technology and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure.

Beside these primary functions, however, the EasyPlus has several advanced features that

provide a range of new applications as outlined below.

Uninterrupted AC power

In the event of a grid failure, or shore or generator power being disconnected, the inverter

within the EasyPlus is automatically activated and takes over supply to the connected loads.

This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment

will continue to operate without disruption.

PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator or shore side power

With a Multi Control Panel a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The EasyPlus will

then take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the

generator or shore supply from being overloaded.

PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power

This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the EasyPlus to

supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a

limited period, it is possible to reduce the size of generator needed or conversely enable more to be

achieved from the typically limited shore connection. When the load reduces, the spare power is

used to recharge the battery.

Programmable relay

The EasyPlus is equipped with a programmable relay that by default is set as an alarm relay. The

relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications, for example as a starter relay for a

generator.

2.2 Battery Charger

Adaptive 4-stage charge characteristic: bulk – absorption – float – storage

The EasyPlus features a microprocessor controlled ‘adaptive’ battery management system that can

be preset to suit different types of batteries. The ‘adaptive’ feature will automatically optimize the

process relative to the way the battery is being used.

The right amount of charge: variable absorption time

When only shallow discharges occur (a yacht connected to shore power for example) the absorption

time is kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the

absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.

Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the BatterySafe mode

If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption

voltage has been chosen, the EasyPlus will prevent damage due to excessive gassing by

automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.

Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode

The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24

hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for a 12V battery) to minimize

gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the

absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and

sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.

Two outputs to charge 2 battery banks

The EasyPlus features 2 outputs, of which 1 can carry the full output current. The second output,

limited to approximately 4A and with a slightly lower output voltage, is intended to top up a starter

battery.

To increase battery life: temperature compensation

Every EasyPlus comes with a battery temperature sensor. When connected, charge voltage will

automatically decrease with increasing battery temperature. This feature is especially

recommended for sealed batteries and/or when important fluctuations of battery temperature are

expected.

3. OPERATION

3.1 On/Off/Charger Only Switch

When switched to ‘on’, the product is fully functional. The inverter will come into operation and

the LED ‘inverter on’ will light up.

An AC voltage connected to the ‘AC in’ terminal will be switched through to the ‘AC out’

terminal, if within specifications. The inverter will switch off, the ‘mains on’ LED will light up and

the charger commences charging. The ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ or ‘float’ LEDs will light up,

depending on the charger mode.

If the voltage at the ‘AC-in’ terminal is not within specifications, the inverter will switch on.

When the switch is switched to ‘charger only’, only the battery charger of the EasyPlus will

operate (if mains voltage is present). In this mode input voltage also is switched through to the

‘AC out’ terminal.

NOTE: When only the charger function is required, ensure that the switch is switched to

‘charger only’. This prevents the inverter from being switched on if the mains voltage is lost,

thus preventing your batteries from running flat.

3.2 Remote control

Remote control is possible with a 3-way switch, with a Digital Multi Control panel.

The Control panel has a simple rotary knob with which the maximum current of the AC input can be

set: see PowerControl and PowerAssist in Section 2.

For the appropriate DIP switch settings, see sect. 5.5.1.

3.3 Equalisation and forced absorption

3.3.1 Equalisation

Traction batteries may require regular equalisation charging. In the equalisation mode, the EasyPlus

will charge with increased voltage for one hour (1V above the absorption voltage for a 12V battery,

2V for a 24V battery). The charging current is then limited to 1/4 of the set value. The ‘bulk’ and

‘absorption’ LEDs flash intermittently.

Equalisation mode supplies a higher charging voltage than most DC consuming

devices can cope with. These devices must be disconnected before additional

charging takes place.

3.3.2 Forced absorption

Under certain circumstances, it can be desirable to charge the battery for a fixed time at absorption

voltage level. In Forced Absorption mode, the EasyPlus will charge at the normal absorption voltage

level during the set maximum absorption time. The ‘absorption’ LED will be ‘on’.

3.3.3 Activating equalisation or forced absorption

The EasyPlus can be put into both these states from the remote panel as well as with the front panel

switch, provided that all switches (front, remote and panel) are set to ‘on’ and no switches are set to

‘charger only’.

In order to put the EasyPlus in this state, the procedure below should be followed.

If the switch is not in the required position after following this procedure, it can be switched over

quickly once. This will not change the charging state.

NOTE: Switching from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and vice versa, as described below, must be done quickly. The switch

must be toggled such that the intermediate position is 'skipped', as it were. If the switch remains in the ‘off’

position even for a short time, the device may be turned off. In that case, the procedure must be restarted at step

1. A certain degree of familiarisation is required when using the front switch on the EasyPlus in particular. When

using the remote panel, this is less critical.

Procedure:

1. Check whether all switches (i.e. front switch, remote switch or remote panel switch if present) are

in the ‘on’ position.

2. Activating equalisation or forced absorption is only meaningful if the normal charging cycle is

completed (charger is in 'Float').

3. To activate:

a. Switch rapidly from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and leave the switch in this position for ½ to 2 seconds.

b. Switch rapidly back from ‘charger only’ to ‘on’ and leave the switch in this position for ½ to 2

seconds.

c. Switch once more rapidly from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and leave the switch in this position.

4. On the EasyPlus the three LEDs ‘Inverter’, ‘Charger’ and ‘Alarm’ will now flash 5 times.

If a MultiControl panel is connected, on the panel the LEDs ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ and ‘float’ will also

flash 5 times.

5. Subsequently, on the EasyPlus the LEDs ‘Bulk’, ‘Absorption’ and ‘Float’ will each light during 2

seconds.

If a MultiControl panel is connected, on the panel the LEDs ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ and ‘float’ will also

each light during 2 seconds.

a. If the switch on the EasyPlus is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Bulk’ LED lights, the charger will switch to

equalisation.

Similarly, if the switch on the MultiControl panel is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Bulk’ LED lights, the charger

will switch to equalisation.

b. If the switch on the EasyPlus is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Absorption’ LED lights, the charger will switch

to forced absorption.

Similarly, if the switch on the MultiControl panel is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Absorption’ LED lights, the

charger will switch to forced absorption.

c. If the switch on the EasyPlus is set to ‘on’ after the three LED sequence has finished, the charger

will switch to ‘Float’.

Similarly, if the switch on the MultiControl panel is set to ‘on’ after the three LED sequence has

finished, the charger will switch to ‘float’.

d. If the switch has not been moved, the EasyPlus will remain in ‘charger only’ mode and switch to

‘Float’.
