ATTERIES
The power supply can be used to charge 12V lead-acid or maintenance free batteries.
Instructions for charging batteries (float charging):
a)
Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply is below 45°C
b)
Set output voltage (measured at no load and at the battery end of the cable) very precisely to the end-of-charge
voltage.

c)
Use a 6A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the power supply and the battery.
d)
Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
e)
The return current to the power supply (battery discharge current) is typical 6mA
when the power supply is
switched off (except in case a blocking diode is utilized).

ROTECTION
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 20A. An external protection is only required, if the supplying
branch has an ampacity greater than this. Check also local codes and local requirements. In some countries local
regulations might apply.

regulations might apply.
If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of
the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 10A B- or 6A C-Characteristic breaker should be used.

ML60.121 power supplies can be paralleled to increase the output power. This
power supply has no feature included which balances the load current
between the power supplies. Usually the power supply with the higher
adjusted output voltage draws current until it goes into current limitation. This
means no harm to this power supply as long as the ambient temperature stays
below 45°C. The ML60.121 can also be paralleled with other power supplies
from MiniLine series with 12V output voltage. The output voltages of all
power supplies shall be adjusted to the same value (±100mV). A fuse or diode
on the output of each unit is only required if more than three units are connected in parallel. If a fuse (or circuit
breaker) is used, choose one with approximately 150% of the rated output current of one power supply. Keep an
installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power supplies on
top of each other. Do not use power supplies in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting
orientation (input terminals on the bottom and output terminals on top of the unit). Be aware that leakage current,
EMI, inrush current and harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies in parallel.
