2 1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Main Unit The Charge Smart R1 is a 19 rack mount charger with auto battery voltage detection. The unit will charge 20 Amps or 24V@ 13 Amps depending on the voltage of the battery bank connected to the charger. The Charge Smart R1 will indicate the detected battery voltage to the user when first connected. The Charge Smart R1 charges from Mains Vac input until the mains fail and will then auto switch to the backup solar panel input if connected to commence charging. The unit features a MPPT buck-step down charger. The Battery input and Load output are fuse protected via standard ATO fuses Battery low protection can be enabled or disabled via the web page Battery protection menu and the Load output can automatically shut down if a low user defined battery voltage level is detected The Load output also have led indication on the front panel. The LCD display gives necessary local information to the user B: Battery voltage C: Charge current L: Load current _00.0V (no charge source) or S 33.2V for Solar or Mains on for Mains AC VAC supply on. The Alarm input is a potential free contact input from any Alarm device like PIR detectors or magnet switches and can be used for a cabinet breach alarm or other types of perimeter alarms. 10Mbs Ethernet Port unit have embedded web pages for all parameters and settings and supports SNMP V1/2C international standard SNMP works with any SNMP manager software user can also use -SNMP Manager for monitoring of the devices with alerts, graphing of parameters etc. The 5 Relay outputs can be controlled via the relay control page relay 1,2,3 can only toggle for 15sec to reset equipment and relay 4 and 5 can be controlled to the on or off position. Battery and Load connections via quick connect red and black binding posts The unit have Reverse Battery Protection internally 2 P a g e

System specifications and general features Solar Input specifications : 50Vdc max from solar panels 250W max solar panel for 12V systems 350W max solar panel for 24V systems 2 x Internal fans with auto control for heat extraction. Local LCD display for easy onsite readings. Internal mosfet Battery reverse polarity protection The Charge Smart R1 reports all necessary information to the user via SNMP and embedded web pages. Total Battery Voltage as well as separate Battery voltages for series connected 24V Battery banks, Charging Current, Load current to equipment, Mains 220Vac Status, Solar panel input voltage, Alarm input and temperature information is available via web pages, SMS and SNMP. The unit supports SNMP V1 and SNMP V2C communication platform to be compatible with SNMP monitoring software platforms as well with -SNMP Manager software for Windows. **** IMPORTANT NOTE**** The Alarm input is a potential free contact input only and NO voltages should be injected here- Permanent Damage to the unit will occur. After the Alarm is triggered the (L:) indication of the Load current in the bottom right corner of the LCD will change to AL: to indicate the Alarm condition. The Alarm SNMP (OID) data will change from a 0 to a 1, as soon as the Alarm input is restored the screen will be cleared from AL: for alarm and return to L: for Load current indication but the Alarm SNMP OID will stay at data 1 for about 6 minutes after the alarm was cleared. This is working well with PIR alarm detectors etc so that the alarm condition is not missed by the SNMP manager software while polling the unit at specific intervals *** Default IP address : P a g e

5 4.OPTIONAL GSM MODULE GSM Board for SMS interface (optional installed internally if ordered) The Charge Smart R1 can accommodate a internal GSM interface The user will be notified via SMS in case of a mains failure,alarm conditions and low battery voltages. A status message can be send to the unit to report the current battery voltage, charge current, load current and relay status The relays can also be controlled via SMS **FREE ANDROID APP TO DOWNLOAD ON THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE Search for GSM controller The Android application makes it easy to save multiple cell numbers with user defined names for each number Also because relay wiring would not be the same at each site user defined names can be saved to each relay in the app under each specific site Select NPM R10 GSM in app for this model User will have to open the unit carefully to set dip switch settings differently Default settings is as follows: The 4 way dip switch on the printed circuit board allows the user with the following: Switch 1 (ON) SMS will be send if mains fails and when mains returns Switch1 (OFF) NO SMS will be send regarding mains status 5 P a g e
