CBA Charger Interface
Charge / Discharge Test
The WMR Charger Interface board has the following inputs and
outputs:
• IN-A and IN-B- These should connect to a signal on the
charging unit that indicates charging is complete. An LED
will sufce. These inputs can handle up to 12V.
• OUT-A and OUT-B. These outputs are shorted (relays closed)
when the software is starting a charge cycle. The purpose
of this is to connect to a push-button on a charging unit,
where the push button might control the start/stop of the
charger.
• Powerpole®- When a Charge/Discharge test is not running,
or during the Discharge cycle of a Charge/Discharge test,
these poles will be open. During a Charge cycle, these
Powerpole® will close (short) and the WMR Charger
Interface and the CBA Software can read the current drawn
by the battery from the charger unit.
• Green LED- This is lit when the CBA software has connected
to the WMR Charging Interface board. NOTE: There is a
green power LED also.
• Yellow LED- This is lit when the CBA software is currently
performing a Charge/Discharge test. It will go dark when
test is complete.
• Red LED- This is lit when the CBA software is currently in a
charging phase of a Charge/Discharge test (the Powerpole®
are closed and the charging unit is connected to the battery).
When starting a charging cycle, the CBA software will close both the
OUT-A and OUT-B relays and leave them closed for the duration of
the cycle. If this is not compatible with your charging unit or need
more exible options, contact WMR and we can add support for
your charging unit.
