PST-APS-100

Summary: Most high power battery chargers have significant 60 or 120 Hz ripple and noise. Others used pulse charging technology. This causes havoc with systems such as audio systems that would like a nice, clean voltage. These chargers are designed to charge a battery at high power, but very quietly. Charge lead acid, SLA, sealed lead acid, Gel, AGM and VRLA batteries

Suggested Applications: Wherever a high power 12 volt battery charger is used, for example in in Audio Displays, Demo & Show Vehicles Marine & Recreational Vehicles; Battery maintenance & storage, Retail Store Displays, Industrial Applications, Communications (available in 12V , 36V . 42V . and 48V output).

These chargers are the famous APS power supply which will charge a battery using the taper charge method. Also available is a charge controller which allows the APS Power Supply to operate as an automatic 3-stage “smart charger.” This gives a sophisticated charger with Bulk, Absorption, and Float stage charging, increasing the charging capacity of the APS Power Supply to decrease charge times, insuring proper and safe battery charging and eliminating over-charge. This “intelligent” technology monitors the battery at all times.
These AC input switchmode chargers are ideally suited for the mobile environment. These power supplies feature regulated and filtered outputs which allow for clean audio demonstrations without the slightest hint of noise.
Their low profile design allows for convenient mounting under a display vehicle or behind a display board. When combined with a high quality battery, APS units can supply transient surges up to 1000 amps.
In maintenance mode the charger is left connected to the battery. If the voltage remains in the long term stage for more than seven days, the charge controller will automatically deliver a boost charge for a short time, then automatically return to the normal float stage to prevent sulfation.
Virtually Silent Operation. All PST-APS 12V chargers utilize an advanced switching design. There is no low frequency transformer hum. Every unit is equipped with a cooling fan that is virtually silent and does not usually come on.
The PST-APS 12VDC battery chargers all feature thermal control circuitry that engages the fan only when internal temperatures require it (typically 75% of full load). They have small compact sizes compared to the transformer based power chargers. The switch mode technology utilized in APS power chargers has 86% efficiency. This superior design results in cooler operating temperatures and compact size.
These 12 volt battery chargers were originally designed and are widely used to power automobile audio systems in retail demonstration rooms and trade shows. They have very low ripple and no audio noise. Other output voltages can be made upon request.

* The PST-APS-90CH is designed to exceed UL requirements.

**The dual-voltage feature allows the voltage to change from 13.6 to 14.4 volts by inserting a jumper into the control socket.

A taper charger is a constant current charger up to the float voltage, at which the current tapers off until the battery is full. The 3-stage charger keeps the current constant by raising the voltage until the battery is full, then cuts back to the float voltage.

Usage Note: Typical AC outlets are 1540VA, 14 amp service. To run the higher power units you will need higher power service than is typically available in a wall plug. Please consult competent technical authorities to determine the total load on the circuit you intend to supply the power with, including other things plugged into the same circuit.

Maintenance mode: After the 12V battery is full the charger goes into a maintenance mode. In maintenance mode the battery is safely floated at 13.56 volts to maintain the battery and replace charge lost due to leakage or self discharge. In addition, if the battery has not received a bulk charge during a seven-day period, the charge controller will switch the APS Power Supply into a pre-programmed equalization stage to top off the batteries, dissolving any sulfate layer on the battery’s plates and avoiding stratification of flooded batteries.

Audio Application Note: Operating high power audio systems from the battery while it is on charge can cause the charger to change charge stages at random, which you might be able to hear. If you are running equipment from the battery while the charger is attached you can remove the jumper plug from the charger, which will revert it to a 13.6 volt power supply to give you better sound. Just plug it back in to make it a multistage charger.

To perform this function remotely put a toggle switch in the jumper as follows
wiring the jumper for remote switching of the charger/power supply function
