1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Charge Smart R1 is a 19” rack mount charger with auto battery voltage

detection. The unit will charge 12V @ 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 110-220Vac until the mains fail and will

then switch to the backup solar panel input if connected to commence charging. The

unit features a MPPT buck-step down charger for the Mains and Solar input.

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

Charge source displayed as Mains / Solar or _ for no charge source.

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 Mi-SNMP Manager for monitoring of

the devices with email 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

3. System specifications and general features

Solar Input specifications: 45 Vdc 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 power related 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 and SNMP.

The unit supports SNMP V1 and SNMP V2C communication protocol to be

compatible with SNMP monitoring software platforms as well with Mi-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 after master reset: 192.168.1.2 **Hold reset button on the side

until LCD screen indicates “Reset Complete”

Serial number, status of relays, alarm status and the Battery voltage is displayed

Left hand side navigation menus

6 . Status Page

Displayed:

Build date of the hex file

Internal temperature of the Charge Smart R1

Battery 1 volts for a 12V system – Battery 2 will always read zero

Battery 2 volts – if the unit is connected to a 24V system and the centre tap wire is

connected the voltage of Battery 1 closest to ground and the voltage of Battery 2 will

be displayed separately – if centre tap is not connected then Battery volts 1 will be

the total volts reading .

The LCD screen on the Charge Smart is duplicated at the bottom of the page with

Charge and load current and battery voltage displayed

7 .Relay Control page

A Password window will appear by selecting any one of the menus that can be

altered by the user – default is admin , admin – setup a user defined password under

network configuration / password/reboot menu

9 | P a g e


Names can be entered for each relay

Relay 4 and 5 can be switched and will stay in the on or off position until changed by

the user

Relay 1,2,3 can only be toggled for 15 sec to reset external devices like radios etc.

Relays can also be controlled via SNMP SET and GET

commands

8. BATTERY LOW PROTECTION MENU

User entry:

Low Batt volts – where the system will disconnect the load output to save Batteries

from a deep level discharge – load output is switched of

High Batt volts – where the system will re-connect the load output

For 12V systems the user will enter eg : 11.0 for low and 12.5 for high

For 24V systems the user will enter eg : 22.0 for low and 25.0 for high

***DISABLE LOW BATTERY CUTOUT FUNCTION******

Enter eg: 02.0 for low voltage and 03.0 for high voltage

9. NETWORK CONFIG PAGE

Setup a user defined password

Change the IP address, Gateway and subnet settings of the unit Network port

Save config and reboot will save the new settings and reboot the device

Should the unit be configured already and the user would like to reboot the Charge

Smart R1 - do not alter any network settings only click on save and reboot.

***USING Mi-SNMP Manager*** do not change the HOST NAME

products manufactured by Micro Instruments. It will also be future compatible with all

new products supporting SNMP.

The software monitors all data from Micro Instruments remote monitoring equipment

with graphing of parameters, email alerts and on screen visual indication on the

status of units.

Mi SNMP Manager can also ping other non - Micro Instruments devices on the

network making it a complete network monitoring software platform for your

network.

Plug and Play setup – Just add the IP address of the unit, select the unit type and

configure a name for the unit.

Graphing – each device added will have its own graphical presentation of all

measured data supported by the specific unit.

Quick access-right click on a monitoring unit and select view in browser will take the

user to the units embedded web pages

Email alerts – Multiple email addresses can be added to the system for all alarm

notifications, units going offline and online etc. via email

Import and Export – Easily import and export all devices & application settings for

easy restore of all information.

Mi SNMP Manager can be downloaded free from www.microinstruments.co.za as a

fully functional application.
