The IQ Smart Controller offers automatic charging control for the DLS power
converters/chargers to provide longer and safer use of your system's battery.
The IQ Controller is compatible with any DLS model, and is covered under our
standard Two-Year Warranty.
The IQ Controller allows the DLS charger to operate as an automatic 3-stage
"smart charger". This gives the customer the benefit of Bulk, Absorption,
and Float stage charging, increasing the charging capacity of the DLS charger
and decreasing charge times, insuring proper and safe battery charging and minimizing
over-charging. This "smart" technology monitors the battery at all
times. If the DLS voltage remains in the long term float stage for more than 7 days, the IQ will automatically deliver a boost charge for a predetermined time, then automatically return to the normal float stage.
Bulk Charge
The batteries are charged with the full rated output of the DLS charger. During
this stage, the batteries are recharged quickly to reduce charge times.
Absorption Charge
The batteries are then held in the absorption stage for a controlled period,
insuring a full and complete charge. During this stage, the battery cells are charged to 14.2 VDC (for 12V systems) for increased capacity.
Float Charge
During the float stage, the DLS charge voltage is reduced. This minimizes gassing, while maintaining a full charge. If the battery voltage drops below 12.6 VDC (for 12V systems), the IQ Controller will restart at the bulk charge stage and repeat this cycle.
Weekly Boost
If the batteries have not received a "smart charge" during a 7 day period, the IQ Controller will switch the DLS charger into a preprogrammed, charge stage to top off the batteries. This ensures full batteries all of the time without over-charging. |
