ADEL SYSTEM is committed to providing system designers and users with value added, multi-function devices for power supply, battery charging and back-up.  After many years developing problem-free solutions addressing the requirements of standard and specialised applications, ADEL SYSTEM now “focusses on battery charging and power supply” and allows designers to safely concentrate on the more strategic issues of their projects. This is the background that led to the development of the CBI series with an output voltage of 12, 24 or 48 V. They have been developed with the aim of satisfying a wide range of applications,  particularly those that are currently are not covered by an integrated and optimised solution. The series has been called “All In One”,  because one single CBI is a Power Supply + a Back Up Module + a Battery Charger.

They are extremely compact and cost-effective.  With the All In One units, it is possible manage the power, the available power is automatically allocated between the load and the battery: supplying power to the load is the first priority of the unit; thus it is not necessary to double the power, because the power going to the battery will go to the load if the load requires it. The maximum available current on the load output is 2 times the value of the devices rated current.

All devices are based on switching technology and use a microprocessor which is able to optimise battery charging and discharge time, switching  the load to the back-up battery, automatic protection without a fuse to avoid polarity inversion and short circuit. They also detect the internal status of the battery by means of the “Life Test” function. This is called the Battery Care concept.

It is very important to remember that any battery is an electro-chemical component and during boost charge and trickle charge it is subject to temperature as well as voltage and current fluctuations. ADEL SYSTEM pays particular attention to the above factors and applies the best technical solutions and charging strategy to maximise performance and to give the battery the longest possible life span within its specifications. This is called the Battery Care concept.
These devices are completely automatic and can charge any kind of battery using factory pre-set charging curves suitable to the most common accumulator technologies: open lead acid, sealed lead acid, lead gel, Ni-Cd and Ni-MH. These devices are very flexible and can be customised to meet the needs of the user and the requirements of the application. After the installation, it is possible to carry out functional software updates using any laptop computer.  Doing so, your system can always be updated for changing requirements.

The Battery Care concept is base on algorithms that implement rapid and automatic charging, battery charge optimisation over time, flat battery recovery and real time diagnostics during installation and operation. Battery faults such as battery sulfated, elements in short circuit, accidental reverse polarity connection can be easily detected, identified and removed.

The All In One Series meet the highest standards of quality and ensure high reliability, with MTBF values of up to 300.000 hours.

All-In-One DC UPS Features

Power boost

Double Output, Optimised Power Management.

With the All In One unit it is possible to manage the power. The available power is automatically allocated between the load and the battery: supplying power to the load is the first priority of the unit. The power available for the battery will go to the load if the load requires it.  In Power Boost mode the maximum current on the load output is 2 times the rated current in continuous operation and 3 times the rated current for 4 seconds.
Output Voltage: 12, 24, 48 Vdc.

 Load Independant

Smart Battery Management

Load Independent  from the battery condition

The All In One ensures continuous power supply to the load even when the battery is completely discharged. The automatic multi-stage operation optimises and adapts to the battery’s status.  The All In One can recharge deeply discharged batteries even when their voltage is close to zero, allowing the recharge and complete recovery of flat batteries.
 Deep Discharge

Avoid deep battery discharge

In the case of mains failure, the battery will supply the load until the battery voltage reaches 1.5 Vpc (Volt per cell). Below this level the device automatically switches off to prevent deep discharge and battery damage.
 Adjustable charge

Adjustable maximum battery charging current

The maximum battery charging current can be set from 20% to 100% of the devices rated value.
 Multi stage charging

Multi-Stage charging  - Three charging modes

Automatic multi-stage operation and real time diagnostics allow fast recharge and recovery of deep discharged batteries, adding value and reliability to the system hosting the CBI device. The type of charging is voltage stabilised and current stabilised (IUoUo).
CBI battery chargers feature three charging modes, identified by a flashing code on a LED.

  • Boost - Bulk  (2 Blinks per sec)
  • Trickle - Float  (1 Blink per Sec)
  • Recovery (5 Blinks per sec) able to recharge batteries even when their voltage is close to zero.

 

 

 Display Signals

Each system operation is easily identifiable, via LED indication and Relay contacts:

Relay Contact signals

  • Main or back-up signaling relay with potential-free NO-NC outputs
  • Battery faulty signaling relay with potential-free NO-NC outputs
  • Flat battery signaling relay with potential-free NO-NC outputs

Display Signals

  • No voltage on mains signal
  • Battery fault signal
  • Low battery signal (capacity less than 30%)
  • Battery charge mode signal
  • Help through “blinking code” signal for diagnosis of the system 

 

 Driver Contact

Driver Contact

  • Via RTCONN remote connection cable it is possible to drive the device from Boost - Bulk to Trickle - Float charge.
  • It is also possible to permanently put a jumper for Boost - Bulk Charging.
  • The new models of All In One are available with remote start from the battery using either a cable connection RTCONN, or  the pushbutton in front panel.
 Element in short circuit

Diagnostic checks performed by the All In One

  • Battery Life Test -Guarantees battery reliability by continuously testing the internal impedance status, avoiding any possible risks of damage and checking that a permanent, reliable and safe connection of the battery to the power supply exists. The system, through a battery stimulation circuit with algorithms of evaluation of the detected parameters, is able to recognise sulfated batteries or batteries with a short-circuited element.

  • Check for accidental disconnection of the battery cables - The All In One detects an accidental disconnection and immediately switches off the output power.
  • Testing the quality of the cable connections -During trickle charge the quality (resistance) of the battery connection is checked every 20 sec. This is to detect if the cable connection has been properly made.
  • Battery in open circuit or sulphated -Every four hours the All In One tests the internal impedance, when in trickle charge mode.
  • Reverse polarity check -If the battery it is connected with inverted polarity, the All In One is automatically protected.
  • Test of battery voltage connections -Appropriate voltage check - to prevent the connection of incorrect battery types
  • End of charge check -When the battery it is completely charged, the device automatically switches to trickle charging mode.
  • Check for elements in short circuit -Thanks to specific algorithms of evaluation, the CBI’s recognise batteries with an element in short circuit.
