Figure 1: Mastervolt Mass 24/50-2 Automatic Battery Charger. The front panel features a teal-colored section with LED indicators for battery charge status (5% to 100%, float, absorption, bulk) and an on/off switch. The main body is silver-grey with cooling fins on the sides. The model name 'MASS 24/50' and 'AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER' are visible on the lower front, along with the Mastervolt logo and 'with battery & temperature sense'.

3.1. Control Panel Indicators

The front panel provides visual feedback on the charger's status and battery charge level:

• Charge Level LEDs: Indicators for 5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% battery charge.
• Charging Phase LEDs:
  • Навальний: Initial charging phase, delivering maximum current.
  • Abs (Absorption): Battery is nearly full, voltage залишається постійним, поки струм зменшується.
  • Поплавок: Battery is fully charged, maintaining a constant voltagе для компенсації саморозряду.
• Вмикання/вимкнення: Controls the power to the charger.
• Charger Status LED: Indicates if the charger is active.

4. Налаштування та встановлення

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and optimal performance of the Mastervolt Mass 24/50-2. It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a certified marine electrician or qualified professional.

• Mount the charger securely using appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.

4.2. Електричні з'єднання

• Вхід змінного струму: Connect the charger to a stable 240 Volt AC power source. Ensure the wiring gauge is appropriate for the current draw and circuit protection is in place.
• Вихід постійного струму: Connect the DC output terminals to your battery bank. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Use heavy-gauge cables suitable for the charger's output current.
• Датчик температури: Connect the optional battery temperature sensor (if supplied) to the designated port and attach it to the battery. This optimizes charging by adjusting voltage на основі температури батареї.
• Заземлення: Ensure the charger chassis is properly grounded according to local regulations.

5. Інструкція з експлуатації

The Mastervolt Mass 24/50-2 is designed for automatic operation once properly installed and connected.

1. Увімкнення: Ensure all connections are secure. Flip the on/off switch on the front panel to the 'on' position. The 'charger' status LED should illuminate.
2. Процес зарядки: The charger will automatically detect the battery's state of charge and initiate the appropriate charging phase (Bulk, Absorption, Float). Monitor the charge level and phase LEDs on the front panel.
3. Вимкнення живлення: To stop charging, flip the on/off switch to the 'off' position.

The charger will automatically maintain the battery bank at optimal levels once fully charged, entering the float phase to prevent overcharging.

6. Технічне обслуговування
