JAC0324XLR Schauer 24V 3A

Model JAC0324-XLR (0891-35)

Overview

The Schauer JAC0324-XLR is a 24V, 3A Fully Automatic, 3-Stage Electronic Charger equipped with a 3-Pin XLR DC Plug. It is specifically designed for charging and maintaining batteries in medical mobility scooters and wheelchairs with 24-volt battery systems up to 45AH capacity. This intelligent charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely, ensuring safe charging without the risk of overcharging.

The charger is compatible with all types of lead acid batteries, including:

• Conventional flooded cell
• Maintenance free
• Deep cycle
• Gelled-electrolyte
• AGM valve regulated batteries

3-Stage Charge Control

This charger utilizes a 3-Stage Charge Control system:

1. Modified Constant Current Charge
2. Constant Finishing Voltage
3. Float/Standby Voltage to maintain the battery in a fully charged condition.

FEATURES

• Fully Automatic with Float/Maintenance Mode.
• Can be left connected to batteries indefinitely.
• Charges all types of lead acid batteries.
• 115VAC Input.
• Mountable aluminum case with LED status lights.
• Current limiting for safety.
• Short Circuit and Reverse-Polarity protection (user-replaceable fuse).
• Capable of full current at 25.2V continuous (100% duty cycle).

OPERATIONS

• Not intended for use as a DC power supply.
• Operate in an environment with proper ventilation.
• Do not operate in damp or wet conditions.

LED Status Indicator Light:

• LED1 (Left): RED – AC power connected, Power Switch ON.
• LED2 (Right): YELLOW – Charging (Bulk and Absorption stages), Fan On.
• LED2 (Right): GREEN – Battery Charged (Maintenance Float mode), Fan Off.

Troubleshooting:

If LED2 is GREEN when initially connected to a known discharged battery (instead of YELLOW), there is a FAULT in the output connection. Check the following:

1. Charger Not Connected.
2. Minimum Battery Voltage Not Sensed (8V minimum).
3. Output Fuse Blown (check the fuse under the twist cap).

Important Note

We recommend chargers in this range have an amperage output that equates to approximately 10-15% of the AH capacity of the battery being charged. For example:

• This 3 amp charger is suitable for batteries with a maximum AH capacity of 30AH-45AH.
• Chargers with marginally low output ratings may result in unacceptably long charge times or damage to the charger.
