1. Introduction

The GMDSS Mass Charger Alarm Interface is used for monitoring the accumulator battery and Masscharger of the reserve supply backup arrangement for the radio installations. Battery voltage and currentare displayed on the digital panel meter, visual and audible failure alarms are set according to theregulations of the I.M.O.

The Mass GMDSS Interface is intended for installations with one battery bank and one Mass charger, incase two chargers are required Mastervolt advises two GMDSS interfaces to install. The panel containsseparate alarm indicators for indication of AC failure, charger failure and low and high battery alarm. Thedisplay scrolls the Volts, Amps and Charger Status automatically. The panel is equipped with threepotential free change over contacts to make a link to the ships global alarm system. The panel is standardequipped with an external 5V/50mA unregulated power supply for practical integration with the ships globalalarm system. The panel does have the possibility to drive direct external indicators(led), buzzer and globalmute switch,( alarm accept ) directly.

The Panel includes backlight, mute, buzzer and test functions. The display scrolls to all the requiredfunctions automatically.

The Mass charger alarm interface can be mounted into the Mass Charger enclosure or as remote panel.According to the regulations of GMDSS systems the panel must be installed at a position which is visiblefrom where the ship is normally navigated.

The panel must be connected to a DC voltage supply of 8 to 32 volt. (Normally the +24V DC from theaccumulator battery) The panel should be connected with a 6 pole telephone RJ45 reverse connectedcable to the digital Qrs232 output of the charger. Due to the wide input power range, no backup power isrequired. The unit will still be powered until the battery voltage drops below the 8V.

For accurate current measurement the panel should be connected with a six pole twisted cable to theMastervolt 500A/50mV shunt which is normally mounted close to the battery bank. The audible alarm andvisual indicators , voltage and current meters are powered from an internal galvanic insulated DC/DCconverter with operating range from 8V to 32 volt DC.

The basic system set points such as low battery level of the Interface will be stored into the EEprommemory of the Mass charger, in case off loss of AC or DC power the GMDSS panel reads back the setpoints which are stored into the charger.In other words the panel will not loose the DC battery set point in case AC or DC power fails. Set-points likedisplay setting and charge current % are lost and must be set again in case of DC power failure.

The Mass Charger alarm interface does has a test alarm function, in this mode the alarms are step by stepsimulated. This function is helpfully for fast and easy installation, inspection and start up.

4. Instruction menu

The two line display shows all kind of information on the status of the battery system and charger. Thedisplay can be set in three operation levels.

Level 1 operating user menuLevel 2 read out menuLevel 3 installing menu, To enter level 3 the user should unlock the panel in function F0

Level 1 operating user menu (Main Menu)

Display scroll : automatic trough the following linesStatus charger => Charge current => Battery voltage & current

Mute the alarmThe alarm sound is muted by pressing the mute button.A new event will reactivate the alarm sound. The display will show the alarm status. To test the alarmindicator LEDs, buzzer and potential free contacts function F17 in menu level 3 should be activated.

Level 2 read out setting menu (Read setting only)

To enter this read out setting menu press select button while you are in the main menu for longer then 1second. To scroll the function menu push the select button again. In level 2 is not possible to change anysetting.You can only readTo change a parameter of a function, pressing the mute button. In case the parameter does not changeunlock the panel by level 3 in function F0. To return to level 1 wait 20 seconds or scroll to functionRETURN and hold the select button until you return to level 1.

Level 3 installing menu (Change setting)

For changing several parameters the panel should be un-locked in function F0. Unlocking the unit: scrollto function F0 hold the select button until the lock is off. Scroll from F1 to F17 by the select button. Changea parameter up or down by the mute button, In case the mute button is hold the parameter goes up ordown, to change up or down hold the Select button until the arrow changes of direction.

To restore the factory setting of the charger Function F16 must be selected. The new charger/GMDSSsetting will be save in the permanent memory of the charger. (Attention: only setting from F8 till F12 aresaved in the charger)

In case you return to level 1 (main menu) the setting are stored automatically.Note : the unit selects 12volt settings or 24v setting automatically.(24V setting are twice the 12V settings)

7. Wire by wire detail battery compartment

The shunt is the current sensor for the GMDSS Interface Its value is 500A 50mV this rating means that when500 Amps flows through it there is 50mVgenerated across it. The mV signal is translated into an Ampsdisplay in the meter. For example: A 50A load would generate 5mV across the shunt and would be displayedas -50 Amps. Caution: In the diagram below, the darker wires represent primary wiring and should be able tocarry full battery load current. Select the correct diameter. Size appropriately!

8. Wire by detail Mass charger compartment

The Mass charger communicates (based on the QRS232 protocol) with the GMDSS interface.Information on the status of the charger and AC-present will be send over to the GMDSS interface. The

communication time between Charger and interface takes about 2 to 3 seconds. The 6 pole telephonecable should be reversed connected on the RJ45 Plugs. ( pin 1 becomes pin 6)
