1. Introduzzjoni
The ATORCH CDCMK Charging Control Switch Board is a module designed to work in conjunction with electronic loads, such as the DL24EW, to enable cyclic charging and discharging tests for various batteries. It acts as a bridge between your charger and the battery, controlling the charging process based on the input voltage and current of your charger. This module is not a standalone charger; it facilitates advanced battery testing functionalities.
2. Setup u Installazzjoni
Proper installation and wiring are crucial for the safe and effective operation of the charging control module. Please follow these instructions carefully.
2.1 Important Safety Notes
- The charging control module is NOT a charger. It does not charge your battery directly but acts as an intermediary between your charger and the battery.
- Always ensure your charger is connected according to the instructions. The voltage used by your charger for battery charging must match the voltage used by the module.
- Due to heat dissipation and hardware limitations, the maximum charging current is limited to 10A, and the power range should not exceed 150W. DO NOT exceed these specifications.
2.2 Installazzjoni Fiżika
Secure the charging control module using screws or by welding, as indicated in the diagrams. Ensure a stable and secure mounting to prevent accidental disconnections or damage.
2.3 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring
The module supports two primary methods for connecting a charger:
- DC5.5 Charger Connection: Connect compatible DC5.5 chargers directly to the designated port on the module.
- Wired (Crocodile Clip) Charger Connection: For chargers with crocodile clips or bare wires, connect them to the appropriate terminals on the module.
Refer to the following diagrams for detailed wiring configurations:
3. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The ATORCH CDCMK module is designed to cooperate with electronic loads like the DL24EW to perform cyclic charging and discharging tests. The primary mode for this functionality is the CDCDC mode.
3.1 CDCDC Mode Operation
The CDCDC mode enables fully automatic cyclic charging, discharging, and re-charging. It offers a selectable interface for display.
- Select CDCDC Function: On the menu interface of your connected electronic load (e.g., DL24EW), navigate to and select the CDCDC function.
- Follow Wiring Instructions: Ensure your setup adheres to the wiring diagrams provided in Section 2.3.
- Ibda t-Test: Press the "OK/Start" button on your electronic load to initiate the fully automatic charge and discharge cycle (CDCDC cycle test).
3.2 Important Operating Considerations
- The charging current is controlled by the charger device and displayed as the charger's current. The discharge current is what the module primarily controls and displays.
- During testing, do NOT disconnect the power. Disconnecting power will result in data loss, and the test will need to be re-initiated.
4. Manutenzjoni
The ATORCH CDCMK Charging Control Switch Board is designed for durability and reliable performance. Minimal maintenance is required.
- Tindif: Żomm il-modulu nadif u ħieles mit-trab u l-fdalijiet. Uża drapp artab u niexef għat-tindif. Evita li tuża likwidi jew prodotti tat-tindif li joborxu.
- Ħażna: When not in use, store the module in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Spezzjoni: Periodically inspect all connections and wiring for any signs of wear, damage, or loose contacts. Ensure screws are tight if applicable.
5 Issolvi l-problemi
If you encounter issues with your ATORCH CDCMK module, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Ebda Qawwa/Ebda Wiri:
- Check all power connections to ensure they are secure and providing the correct voltage (e.g., 12V for equipment power supply).
- Verify that the charger connected to the module is functioning correctly.
- Inaccurate Readings or Test Failures:
- Ensure all wiring is correct and secure, matching the diagrams in Section 2.3. Incorrect wiring can lead to erroneous results.
- Confirm that the maximum current (10A) and power (150W) limits are not being exceeded. Overloading the module can cause malfunctions.
- If data is lost during a test, remember that disconnecting power will reset the test. Ensure continuous power supply during operation.
- Tisħin żejjed tal-Modulu:
- Aċċerta ruħek li jkun hemm ventilazzjoni adegwata madwar il-modulu.
- Verify that the current and power limits are not being exceeded.
If problems persist, consult the electronic load's manual (e.g., DL24EW) for further troubleshooting specific to the integrated system.

7. Għajnuniet għall-Utenti
- Always double-check your wiring before powering on the system to prevent damage to the module, charger, or battery.
- Ensure that the electronic load you are using (e.g., DL24EW) is compatible with the CDCMK control board for optimal performance. While the product description mentions DL24EW, compatibility with other models like DL24/P or DL24R should be verified with the manufacturer if not explicitly stated.
- Keep an eye on the current and power limits (10A, 150W) to avoid overloading the module, which can lead to inaccurate results or component failure.
- For precise battery testing, ensure a stable power supply to both the module and the electronic load throughout the entire test cycle.
