GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Input
Transformers are dual wound for either 120, 208, 240V (+10%, -12%) or 480V, single phase, (60Hz ±3Hz). ARE-S13050 is wound for 208, 240, and 480V; ARE-S13075 is wound for 240 and 480V.

Regulation
DC voltage is maintained within ±0.5 % at any load from no load to full load with +10%, -12% variation (or ANSI standard ranges) in the AC input voltage while floating the rated number of cells.
Control is accomplished with a single microprocessor-control board and can operate with or without a battery.
During normal operation, the maximum output voltage transient does not exceed 6% of the initial steady-state voltage for sudden load changes between 10% and 90% of rated output.
Recovery takes less than 300 milliseconds. Operation without a battery is stable under all conditions of line and load (within stated limits).
Turn-on under all conditions of line and load has a “soft-start” characteristic without overshoot.

Electrical Noise
For 48V models, the filtering provided produces a ripple level of less than 30mVrms with electrical noise less than 22dBrnc measured on a battery with an eight hour capacity rating of four times the rectifier current rating.
For 130V models, the filtering provided produces a ripple level of less than 100mVrms when connected to a battery with an eight hour capacity rating of four times the rectifier current rating.
The total dynamic response of the control circuitry permits all ARE-S rectifiers to operate as power supplies.

Current Limiting Circuit
The current limiting circuit is factory set at 110% of rated DC output but can be adjusted down to 50% and up to 110%.

Float & Equalize Voltages
Both the float and equalize voltages are user adjustable to accommodate different battery types. Float voltages are adjustable from 2.00-2.32 Volts per Cell (L.A.) and the Equalize voltage is adjustable to a maximum of 2.45 Volts per Cell (L.A.)

Temperature Compensation
The user-adjustable temperature compensation circuit will correct float and equalize voltages up to 2.0mV per cell (L.A.) per C° [added for temperatures below 77°F (25°C) and subtracted for temperatures above 77°F (25°C)].

Ambient Operating Temperatures
All ARE-S rectifiers will operate at 110% of rated DC output, continuously in temperatures from 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) up to an altitude of 3,000 ft (1,000 m). De-rating of 3.6°F (2°C) for every 990 ft (300 m) over 3,300 ft (1,000 m) above sea level. These units can be safely stored for up to one year at temperatures ranging from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
